If you want a formal answer consistent with official dogma, then I will quote the following from the publication: “A Catechism of Christian Doctrine”

. How many kinds of sin are there? ….. . ….. There are two kinds of sin, original sin and actual sin. .

. What is original sin? ….. . ….. Original sin is that guilt and stain of sin which we inherit from Adam, who was the origin and head of all mankind. .

. What was the sin committed by Adam? ….. . ….. The sin committed by Adam was the sin of disobedience when he ate the forbidden fruit. .

. Have all mankind contracted the guilt and stain of original sin? ….. . ….. All mankind have contracted the guilt and stain of original sin, except the Blessed Virgin, who, through the merits of her Divine Son, was conceived without the least guilt or stain of original sin. .

. What is this privilege of the Blessed Virgin called? ….. . ….. This privilege of the Blessed Virgin is called the Immaculate Conception. .

. If on the other hand you prefer a personal opinion: . I can only say it is theological gibberish, designed to paper over some of the cracks left by the philosophically flawed logic that were created in the ancient scriptures, that were not always written to comply with rigorous thought processes. .

Thank you! :)

Some two thousand years ago, the apostle Paul expressed frustration over the fact that ‘the good that he wished he did not do, but the bad that he did not wish was what he practiced.’ (Romans 7:19) If we are honest, we have to admit that our personal situation is similar. Perhaps we desire to live by the Ten Commandments or by some other standard of conduct, but like it or not, we all fall short. It is not that we deliberately choose to violate a norm, but we are simply weak. What is the explanation? Paul himself gives the answer: “If, now, what I do not wish is what I do, the one working it out is no longer I, but the sin dwelling in me.”—Romans 7:20.

Like Paul, all humanity is afflicted by innate weaknesses—evidence of inherent sin and imperfection. “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” said the apostle. What is the cause of this condition? Paul continues: “Through one man [Adam] sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.”—Romans 3:23; 5:12.

Jehovah gave the first man the prospect of living forever. Only if he rebelled against God would Adam lose that marvelous prospect. Adam did rebel, and when he did, he became a sinner. (Genesis 2:15-17; 3:6) Adam acted in a way that was contrary to God’s will, fell short of perfection, and marred his relationship with God. When he committed sin by breaking divine law, he began to die. Sadly, all of Adam’s descendants—including us—were born in sin, and we are destined to die because of it. Why?

The reason is quite simple. Imperfect parents cannot produce perfect children. All of Adam’s offspring were born sinners, and as the apostle Paul notes, “the wages sin pays is death.” (Romans 6:23) The second half of that verse, though, gives us hope: “But the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.” That is to say, by means of the sacrificial death of Jesus, it is possible for obedient, appreciative mankind to be cleansed of the effects of the sin that Adam committed. (Matthew 20:28; 1 Peter

That really helped, thank you!!

God formed our bodies with corrupt DNA that deceives our thoughts. This makes us liars who can’t obey the laws and commandments of God, which were made to condemn the flesh to death. Most people have died already and the rest will die soon in the destruction that’s coming.

By making everyone liars except the messiah, he could easily call us out of the worldly deception with the truth of his voice. He made us saints sinless so he could use our bodies for his purpose. Our flesh was forced by God to die to the world so he could use them.

In the next age, we won’t have corrupt DNA in our flesh so we’ll live in peace and have great joy.

Take it you don’t believe in free will then.

There’s a reason God was able to have his prophets write about the future. He made plans for everything before he created so what you see today is what he planned for today.

If you think that’s free will, then go ahead and believe it because God doesn’t care. He’s the one who planned for you to believe in free will.
