Question: Exactly what is original sin?

God’s answer:

The forbidden fruit

 

This is my no-no

 
She decided for herself.

Meaning: Meaning; Original sin is not the sin of Adam but rather the sin of Eve,

The word given to describe this sin is transgression (to go against a commandment of law). As God said, “She had no choice.” God's command was a law not an option. God also refers to 1 John 3:4 which defines sin as a transgression of the law or lawlessness.

Question: You said in Chapter 6 that the first bite is to doubt you. So, shouldn’t be doubt or lack of trust in God what original is?

God’s answer:

It is implied.

Question: If Eve was created holy, how could she pass down original sin---she may have changed but her “original genes” should still have been the same?

God’s answer

It’s became part of her psyche.

"Psyche comes from the Greek psykhe, which means the soul, mind, spirit, or invisible animating entity which occupies the physical body.”3

Question: What happens when one inherits original sin?

God’s answer

One is willful and self-serving

Meaning: Willful is defined as "having or showing a stubborn and determined intention to do as one wants, regardless of the consequences or effect"4.

Self- serving means "having concern for one's own welfare and interests before those of others."5

As God said, this is what we generally would term as “a character flaw”.
