Orihinal na Kasalanan
Ang doktrinang Kristiyano na minamana ng buong sangkatauhan ang unang kasalanan nina Adan at Eva, at ang salaysay ng Lumang Tipan na pinagbabatayan nito.
Nakasentro ang konsepto ng Orihinal na Kasalanan sa pangyayaring kinain nina Adan at Eva (sumakanila nawa ang kapayapaan) ang ipinagbabawal na bunga — ang unang kasalanang nagawa ng sangkatauhan. Sa doktrinang Kristiyano, umaabot ang kasalanang ito sa lahat ng henerasyon, kaya’t ipinapanganak na makasalanan ang bawat tao.
Ang pagtukso ng ahas
Inilalarawan ang unang kasalanan sa mga sumusunod na talata, kung saan tinutukso ng ahas si Eva:
וְהַנָּחָשׁ֙ הָיָ֣ה עָר֔וּם מִכֹּל֙ חַיַּ֣ת הַשָּׂדֶ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָׂ֖ה יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֑ים “Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, 'Did God say, you shall not eat from any tree in the garden?'... But the serpent said to the woman, 'You will not die; for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.' So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes... she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave to her husband, who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked.”
Naipapasa hanggang sa ikaapat na henerasyon
Ginagamit ang sumusunod na talata upang bigyang-katwiran kung bakit itinuturing na naipapasa ang orihinal na kasalanan sa mga henerasyon ng sangkatauhan:
לֹא־תִשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֥֣ה לָהֶ֖ם֮ וְלֹ֣א תָעָבְדֵ֑ם֒ כִּ֣י אָנֹכִ֞י יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֙יךָ֙ אֵ֣ל קַנָּ֔א “You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and fourth generation of those who reject me.”
