My take on original sin

[TonyChanYT]

The term original sin is not written in the Bible. When it comes to doctrines, I prefer to stick closely to the wording of the Scripture.

Romans 3:

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus

We are all guilty of sin, original or not, and we all need the blood of Christ to redeem us.

Regarding babies in the womb, Romans 8:

10b when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac, 11 though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad

Why do babies die?

We all die, 1 Corinthians 15:

22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

We all die because of the consequence of the first sin. Adam and Eve fell and brought the first sin into the world. As a consequence, everyone is subject to death. Babies are born into a sinful world. They could physically die at birth but they are not automatically condemned to eternal death because of Adam's or Eve's sin. They do not die for the first sin itself. They die because of the consequence of being existing in a sinful world.

fwiw, a lot of posts seem to focus on topics that are anti-Scripture, or simply not Scripture, but rather deal with mankinds errors as if to focus on them or as if to avoid Scripture entirely (to stay comfortable? perhaps, or to gain attention perhaps?) ....

So instead of a title that focuses on a man's opinion that may be false,
is it better to
put "Thoughts on Romans 3" and so on - without giving any credance nor support nor thought to man's ideas that are too often outside of if not opposed to Scripture ?
