Original Sin - Born bad

awareness · 10-21-2022, 06:52 AM

Judaism does not see human nature as tainted by some sort of original sin.

When did it come into being?

Early Christianity had no specific doctrine of original sin prior to the 4th century. Children were considered sinless. Babies can't be born bad.

“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14

Sin was originally considered to be individual, not universal.

Why not original blessing?

So when, where, and by whom did original sin originate?

Wiki has a good coverage of it :
