It is absolutely true Jesus the Messiah, conceived of the Holy Spirit, by the Virgin Mary; being without sin and both True God and true man was (from the perspective of the sinful and fallen universe in which we live) 'an outside agent'...both in the sense of His Dual Nature, and in the sense of His Sinlessness.
:-) I have to grin at your question about the question of original sin, since books have been written on just one small portion of that question. Bottom line, though, is that *all* of creation is fatally corrupted by sin and only throught faith in Jesus Christ's Atoning death on calvary, completed in His is Resurrection and victory over Sin and Death, can anyone have hope to escape the final and just punishment of Almighty God.

I believe Jesus was born just like the rest of us...and he was a true man. I do not accept that, "God created humankind with free will and the ability to sin then demanded superlative perfection from this imperfect being that He created. Then God took on the guise of humanity in the form of Jesus in order to rescue His imperfect creation. "
I believe that we all sin...but that genuine repentence makes us right with God.
Thanks for your reply.
