What is Original Sin?

If Adam and Eve's consumption of from the Tree of Knowledge was the original sin, what was Gods Lie?

  • According to the Bible, God "also laid this command upon the man: 'From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. But as for the tree of knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it, you will positively die.'" The Serpent(Enki), which is said to be the devil, told Eve that they would not die, but would be able to perceive good and bad as God does. The couple ate from the tree and saw that they were nude. They then covered their privates with fig leaves and hid their nakedness from God; But they DID NOT DIE! So if lying is a sin, then, didn't God commit the original sin? Also, if the Serpent and the Devil are one, than the Devil told them the truth.

  • Answer:

    oh please. You people seriously give this "devil creature" far too much credit and power. It is as if this "creature" is more powerful than god. seriously? It's fine to have faith but have reality too.

No... cause God didn't say, "You'll die on the spot." They left paradise, and gained mortality- hence, one day, they would die.

No. It didn't mean literally die. It meant sinning and being separated from God. Dying in a sense that you will not be with God

Satan brought the lies, not God.

no god did not lie that died spiritually they were separated from god by their sin god did not say it would be immediate death if they ate from the tree Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

Gregory

The other weird thing is that adam and eve weren't capable of knowing right from wrong before eating from the tree, so how the hell could they have even known that it was bad to disobey god? That seems like a pretty significant flaw in the story.

I had never thought about it like that but what you have to realise is that the bible is translated to english meaning may have been lost along the way maybe the death they experienced wasn't actual physical death try not to look at it literally

Scripture defines death as separation from God as a result of sin. You are working from the wrong definition. God removed them from the Garden and the presence of God. .
