INQUIRER: Are we all sinners? We have original sin, right?

BRO. ELI F. SORIANO (EFS): Let us consult the dictionary for the definition of original. Please put it on screen.

BRO. MEL MAGDARAOG (MM): The meaning of the word original is - 1. first. There it is. Existing first, from the beginning, or before other people or things.

EFS: It is clear that the original is the first. - Correct? –

MM: Correct.

EFS: Do you know what original sin means, brother? The first sin? Do you know that?

INQUIRER: I am suddenly lost...

EFS: I will teach this to you from the Bible, what the original sin is. The first sin committed by man - he turned away his ears from listening to God. He listened to someone else. Listen, in Genesis 3:17-

MM: "And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake;

EFS: Why was the ground cursed because of Adam? Because the original sin he committed, he listened to God before. Then, time came when he listened to his wife. God said to him - "Adam, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it." God said to Adam. God said that and Adam listened. But when he had a wife, his wife gave him the fruit of the tree God forbade them to eat. The woman said, "Eat. It is good!" He listened to God before. What he did, he then listened to his wife. So, the original sin made by man, the first sin made by man, is when he turned his ear away from God. He received instruction from someone else. Before, Adam received instruction from God. Later on, he let himself be influenced by his wife. He listened to his wife. We should listen to God. Not to anyone else. Do not listen even to your wife, if she is wrong. But Adam listened to his wife, so, God told him - "Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, cursed is the ground for thy sake;" [Genesis 3:17] So, the original sin is, listening to someone else and not to God. I will ask you, brother - Do you have an original sin when you were newly born?

INQUIRER: I am speechless.

EFS: See that? First, when you were born, you did not have a wife yet. How then can you listen to the voice of your wife for you to do the original sin? Original sin is only invented. Bro. Mel, please search the word original sin in the Bible. Search it in the computer.

MM: We will do the same. We will let the computer search for the word "original sin." Let us see if that is in the Bible. Here is the result - In the whole Bible, no word(s) or phrase found, Bro. Eli.

EFS: That is only an invention. Do not believe in that, brother. There’s no such thing as original sin. Remember that, brother. Don't let yourself be deceived until you die and you will not be misled.

INQUIRER: Thank you.
