 Catholic Encyclopedia says: “Original sin may be taken to mean:
1) the sin that Adam committed;
2) a consequence of this first sin, the hereditary stain with which we are born on account of our origin or descent from Adam.”
 
According to Dr. Charles Hodge, a protestant reformed theologian, Total Hereditary Depravity means: “Adam became sinful, and hence all his posterity are born in a state of sin, or with A SINFUL NATURE.”
 
Genesis 3:6
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
 
James 1:14–15
14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.
15 Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.
 
1 John 3:4
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
 
1 John 5:17
17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
 
James 4:17
17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
 
Ecclesiastes 7:29
29 This alone have I discovered: GOD MADE HUMANKIND UPRIGHT, but they have sought many evil schemes.(NET)
 
Charles Finney, an American preacher and theologian in the early 1800's:
“The bodily appetites and tendencies of body and mind, when strongly excited, become the occasions of sin. So it was with Adam. No one will say that Adam had a sinful nature. But he had, by his constitution, an appetite for food and a desire for knowledge. These were not sinful but were as God made them. They were necessary to fit him to live in this world as a subject of God’s moral government. But being strongly excited led to indulgence, and thus became the occasions of his sinning against God. These tendencies were innocent in themselves, but he yielded to them in a sinful manner, and that was his sin.”
 
Michael Pearl: “The root of all sin is founded in runaway indulgence of God-given desires… Drives which are not in themselves evil, nonetheless, form the seedbed on which sin will assuredly grow… As the body of flesh was the medium of Eve’s sin and of Christ’s temptation, so it is the implement of your child’s development into selfishness – which, at maturity, will constitute sinfulness.”
 
2 Corinthians 5:10
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
 
Romans 14:10–12
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
 
Revelation 20:12
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
 
Deuteronomy 24:16
16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
 
Ezekiel 18:20
20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son SHALL NOT bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
 
Jeremiah 31:30
30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
 
″Gnostics say that sin is a substance of matter. The Bible says sin is a choice. "Go and sin no more" implies that all sin is a choice. Sin is a choice, not a nature.″
