So we aren't capable of committing sin unless it's been passed on to us from someone else, is that right?

Logic isn't that hard to understand. Adam and Eve had no inborn Original Sin. Yet they managed to commit sin.

In fact, they committed the Original Sin.

So what does that tell us? Does it tell us that someone has to have inherited sin in order to be capable of committing sin?

No, it doesn't. Not at all.

Try again.

So who came up with the idea we had to inherit the "original sin" from Adam in order to be sinful?

If Adam and Eve had somehow remained perfect until they had their children, are you saying the children would have been born sinless and unable to sin?

Then is righteousness and sinlessness, passed on through the parents seed?

1 Cor 15:47-49. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

Eve was human and she sinned, Adam was human and he sinned, and if it had been anyone except Christ, they would have also sinned.

The human nature is passed on from parent to child, not some mysterious microscopic sin cell that Adam created.

In fact, they committed the Original Sin.

Original as in the first sin, because of his being the first with the opportunity.

So what does that tell us? Does it tell us that someone has to have inherited sin in order to be capable of committing sin? No, it doesn't. Not at all. Try again.

No, it tells us that human flesh is weak, and will take care of it's own best interest, until God completes us by giving us His Spirit.
