From whomever answered rabbi chizkiyah:

“... . But because he produced offspring only from the side of the Evil Inclination,all the offspring of mankind are born from the side of the Evil Inclination. They have no permanent existence therefore,because the Other Side has been mixed with them. ....”

Sounds like the passages dealing with original sin, I.E. the consequences of Adam and Eve disobeying G-d:

Psalms 51:5 - Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Romans 5:12 - Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Given that all mankind are in such a state of sin, does it not then follow that some one completely outside the influence of sin would then be qualified to effect a solution to the problem?

It doesn’t follow for Jews. We believe that we are deputized and consecrated by G-d to bring Him “down” into the world through the commandments. See prior posts regarding sin. As for “original sin” ie, we are all doomed...(if not ‘saved’) we simply don’t believe it. We have our rules of repentance, long before JC.
