Man inherits sin of Adam as original sin. It is a state of spiritual woundedness which makes us uncapable of union with God outside of the divine Grace.
It seems to me that throughout the Bible sin is equated with death, sometimes physically, always spiritually. "For the wages of sin is death", + 100 others. Where does this "woundedness" idea come from, and why is it superior to the "sin equals death" idea found prominently in scripture?
Original sin is, among oter things, physical death. We were not made to die originally, but the sin of Adam corrupted our nature. This is the wound. It delivers physical death, but it does not deliver spiritual death. Spiritual death comes about when one rejects the Kingdom of Heaven by committing an actual sin, a sin of the will, and fails to confess it.
I sent you a private reply of this by mistake. I only meant to reply publicly. Am I answering the question? I'll be happy to elaborate if I can.
