Sin entered the world through Adam, and it wasn't Benny Hinn that said that.

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:
...14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

That is clear. What is your point?

So your theology is based on a letter from a Greek,Paul, who admitted to a certain (unmentionable) impediment, to emerging ( physically and philosophically) church organizations in Rome long after Christ, citing Old Testament writings that were not part of the precursor religion, Judaism, as anything more than historical emergence of Jewish philosophy? This is exactly what I am talking about. Control through misunderstanding , out of context communications, and both comingling and obfuscation of issues , plastered over by lengthy King James dictated, politically revised, language and translation.

That is clear.

Not very. The standard Moravian interpretation, IIRC, is that Adam introduced sin into the world, and that is why we sin, NOT that we are held responsible for Adam's transgression (or anyone else's but our own).

I do realize that many Christian churches do teach the doctrine of original sin, and also the interpretation that Adam's sin was what made man mortal, even though that contradicts the notion that eating of the Tree of Life would confer immortality.
