How do you reconcile 'original sin' if you accept evolution? You know, there being no Adam and Eve, and all.
Seems to me, if there was no Adam and Eve, no eating of the fruit, where did the sin that Jesus was supposed to have been sacrificed for come from?
I see the concept of original sin as a BS crutch for people to say they can't be blamed for their own mistakes. Everyone sins, so any concept of original sin is pointless in my view.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
