ok.. I see.. on our NT we give the meaning of "original sin".. curious one (in matter of doctrine study).. the two point-of-views..

IMO, the Abraham best time on his history, hehe for us sure, not him.. Was that one involving his first born child and a knife.. Wow strong moment.. I also love that study.. faithfull people..

the evolutionary theory mention a growing animal named men.. Religion shows the oposite.. How small the human race is becoming for a matter of spiritual distance of his first purpose..
