Of course he died for our sins. Original sin is that part of our nature that is animal,i.e., sexually chaotic, uncivilized and a predator.

But maybe the liberal theologians think that's just fine.

No, original sin has nothing to do with sex. It is God telling Adam and Eve that everything is theirs BUT don't eat from that tree or you will surely die, and Satan saying, "Oh come on now, you're not gonna die!!!" and Adam and Eve listening to Satan and not God. That is original sin...our deliberate disobedience...inherited like freckels, thanks to Adam and Eve. It is my darling, adorable, blessed, baptized 14 month old grandson DELIBERATELY crawling to the forbidden dangerous corner of the kitchen, looking over his shoulder and giggling. The sexual ramifications of original sin may manifest themselves years from now, but he, as a child of Adam, manifests "original sin" right now, and has from the day he was born. Blaming it on sex has only added to the mass ignorance of Christianity. Original Sin is willfull disobedience, and ONLY Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, was born without this curse, and the ONLY one able to atone for us. ("Liberal theologians", i.e.false teachers, should, for their own safety, quit now and get a real job...a mighty hot place is reserved for them otherwise.)
