Original Sin

Why is this world so full of sin (evil) and suffering? The answers in our American culture range from circumstances, to conditioning, to our chromosomes as the cause of our sin. The various solutions offered are politics, economy, education, counseling and self-help. What if our circumstances, conditioning and chromosomes aren’t the cause of our sin and suffering but only magnify something that is already inside of us? The Bible says that our problem is much deeper, and it is called Original Sin because all of us have inherited a sin nature that goes all the way back to the garden of Eden.
