3- ORIGINAL INHERITED SIN
When talking about Inherited Sin, people understand that Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden and passed on sin to their descendants, so every person born has a sin, which is Original Sin. Because there have never been any books, sermons, priests, or preachers who have explained it clearly, many people feel uneasy in their hearts but dare not speak out, especially young people who understand science and love science, how can they believe that all of humanity was born from a Jewish ancestor whose lineage is only ten thousands of years apart from us. But the Bible is extremely mysterious, so if we think in a regular way, we cannot understand the precious, sublime PARABLES of the Bible. Therefore, the poetic and dreamy story of the Bible must be understood that: Adam is every man, Eve is every woman, "Eating the forbidden fruit" is disobeying God's words, is committing a sin. Inheritance of Sin is the transmission of sin through bad examples, through sight and hearing, through the mind and spirit, through the souls of parents to children and grandchildren:
When pregnant, women are reminded to be careful about eating, walking, and resting to nourish the fetus, and are also advised to be careful with their words, their behavior, and their conduct, so that the child born will enjoy the mother's blessings and be good in both body and spirit. That is the way to nurture the child right from the womb, 100% scientific and not wrong at all. We see that there are people who give birth to five or seven children, each with a different personality, if we check it out, we will see very clearly: People give birth to each child in each stage of life, every thought and action through those stages, from intellectual activities to physical activities, from sexual activities to good deeds or sinful indulgence... All influence and spread to the personality of each child very precisely. Therefore, some people show virtuous and good behavior before they grow up, while others are born with the seeds of sin, this or that defect such as lust, greed, dishonesty, blindness, cruelty... Due to the transmission from grandparents to parents, parents to children. But that's not all, the sins and blessings are also spread during the time the child is raised, not only through what is seen and heard, but also through the thoughts and souls of the parents to the children with 100% accuracy, even though there are things that the children do not know about the parents' actions, there are things that the parents themselves know are bad and cover up and prevent no matter how hard they try, the defects of the parents are still transmitted to the children and there is no way to change them. But not only sin is transmitted, VIRTUE IS ALSO TRANSMITTED. There is a saying "Good parents leave virtue to their children", so observe, consider and test to realize that the people were able to become monks and nuns are relied to the great virtue of their parents. Therefore, parents whose children become monks and nuns should not be negligent but must continue to fast and pray all their lives, maintain virtues so that their children's path to nun or monkhood will be smooth. Otherwise, the children will have a very difficult time on the path of morality. For example, if parents of monks or nuns are greedy for money, their children will also have a hard time of saving, because that is the law of TRANSMITTED SIN, which is 100% accurate and there is no way to change it.
ORIGINAL INHERITED SIN IN THE BIBLE
Chapter Three, Genesis
3:1: Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God really said to you, 'You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'":
As John the Baptist said: "You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath of God that is about to come?" Or as Jesus said: "You brood of vipers, where can you flee from the punishment of hell?" Therefore, we understand that the snake is a servant of the devil, a sinner, a temptation, a bad example. And the snake asked Eve: "Did God really tell you not to eat all the fruit in the garden?" While God only forbade eating the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden. It shows that the cunning in the temptation is to create anger and resentment, making people find all kinds of reasons to commit sins, even making people lose their sense of sin and fall into wrongdoing, for example, many people think that money, fame, and sex are natural traits of humans that God created, so why do we need these laws and regulations, why do we need to advise and prohibit them?
Gen 3, 2-3: The woman said to the serpent: "We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, "You must not eat the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, or you shall die."
The first "God said" is that God created humans with a conscience, or more correctly, it is God's grace, the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit so that we can distinguish right from wrong, good from bad, blessing from sin. Then God told us through the teachings of the prophets, and then God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, who wholeheartedly taught and instructed us in every way. And the successor of Jesus Christ is the Church, the Church has spread and taught and summarized all of God's instructions into Canon Law. What God says that we do not carry out or obey are sins, sins that makes us lose our status as children of God, lose the reward God has given us, which is to enjoy the Kingdom of Heaven, losing God, losing the Kingdom of Heaven is "death".
Gen 3, 4-5: The serpent said to the woman: "You will not die, for God knows that on the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like gods, knowing good and evil.":
The devil's deception and instigation makes us arrogant, thinking we are wise and intelligent, wanting to be noble and powerful, and some even want to be worshiped as gods and saints, which gives rise to countless sins.
Genesis 3, 6: "The woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good to eat, pleasing to the eye, and desirable for making one wise. So she took of its fruit and ate it, and gave some also to her husband who was with her, and he ate it."
"Good to eat", "Pleasing to the eye", "Desirable", "Making one wise" are people full of greed: lust, money, fame, talent, power, all the precious and rare things, beautiful and noble things, they want to embrace, want to own, want to control, so they are tempted to commit sins. Here the serpent only tempted three things, but the woman thought of four more because the HUMAN's heart is full of greed and desire.
Genesis 3:7: "Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized that they were naked; so they sewed leaves together to make loincloths."
The Book of Genesis contains the most important mysteries of God in a plot so poetic that many people read it over and over again, and the more they read it, the more they think it is a fairy tale. Therefore, if we do not have the Word of Jesus Christ and do not understand His will, how can we understand the meaning of the word "naked": In the parable of the "Wedding Feast" (Matthew 22:1-14), there is a passage where the owner comes to observe the guests at the feast and sees a person not wearing a wedding garment, so he orders his servants to tie him up and throw him out: The guest is not wearing wedding garments, so he is not qualified to attend the feast, meaning that a sinner is not qualified to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. In the parable of the "Merciful Father", there is also a passage where the father orders to his servants: "Bring a new garment and put it on him." In the book of Revelation, there is also the sentence "They washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb". Therefore, "Adam and Eve were naked" is understood as: Sin makes people lose their status as children of God, lose the right to enjoy the happiness of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Genesis 3, 8-11: Hearing the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden at the time of the day breeze, Adam and his wife hid among the trees in the garden. The LORD God called to Adam and asked: "Where are you?" Adam answered: "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid." The LORD God asked: "Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat the fruit that I forbade you to eat?"
Here we see very clearly how the Bible expresses: "The fruit" that God forbids people from eating are evil and sinful deeds. When people commit sins, they lose their status as children of God and are "naked", and must hide among the "forest trees" which is a dark path far from God, while the path to God is bright: "Time of the DAY".
Genesis 3, 12-13: Adam said: "The woman you gave to be with me gave me the fruit, and I ate it". The LORD God asked the woman: "What have you done?" The woman said: "The serpent deceived me, and I ate":
It is not only women who seduce men into sin, nor are women alone tempted, and no serpent; no temptation can tempt if the human heart is not weak and greedy: "It is good to eat", "It is pleasing to the eye", "It is clever", "It is precious". However, people say: "Gold is tested by fire, women are tested by gold, and men are tested by women": Usually, women like to eat well, dress well, and are more vulnerable to luxury and vanity, while men are more likely to commit sins because of women.
Gen 3:14: "The LORD God said to the serpent:"Because you have done this, you are cursed above all wild animals. You will crawl on your belly and eat dirt all the days of your life."
The curse of God is exactly the same as the curse of Jesus Christ: "Woe to the world because of the stumbling blocks..." In reality, snakes eat frogs, chickens, ducks, but they do not eat dirt. "Dirt" is the food of death. Our souls are born from the Holy Body of God which is LIFE. The sinner is a snake that has to crawl on its belly, a soul of LIFE that is attached to filth, embracing death, becoming heavy and weak, and being drawn into the dwelling place of the devil.
Gen 3, 15: "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.": Because of the spread of sin from one generation to generation, people are born with the seeds of sin, the passion for money, lust, status and fame, and every second and every minute must struggle between good and evil.
Gen 3, 16-19: To the woman God said: "I will greatly afflict your childbearing, in pain you will give birth to children, and your desire for your husband will be, and he will rule over you." To Adam God said: "Because you listened to your wife and ate the fruit of the tree about which I commanded you, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground because of you; in painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the grass of the field; by the sweat of your brow you will eat bread, until you return to the ground, for from it you were taken. Dust you are, and to dust you shall return.":
The sufferings, humiliations, bitterness, hardships... Creating merit is "food" is "BREAD" for the souls of sinners to be nourished and restored.
And as Jesus said: "I am the living BREAD" so since Jesus Christ came to earth as a human being to suffer and die to establish the merit of redemption, we have BREAD, abundant FOOD for our souls to be nourished and reborn.
Gen 3, 20-21: "Adam named his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living. And the LORD God made for Adam and his wife garments of skin, and clothed them."
Because of sin, "naked" humans lost their status as children of God, lost their status as enjoying the Kingdom of Heaven. God made them "clothes of skin" to find a way to restore and regenerate humanity, such as sending prophets to correct and teach them, but they were just like "clothes of skin" that were not qualified to attend the wedding ceremony, not qualified to enjoy the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, the Son of God himself had to come down to earth as a human, wholeheartedly teach, suffer and die to establish the merit of redemption, only He could make for humanity proper ceremonial clothes to attend the Banquet of the Kingdom of Heaven, as the passage says about the saints: "They washed their CLOTHES in the blood of the LAMB".
Gen 3:22-23: "The LORD God said: 'Behold, the man has become one of us, knowing good and evil. Now he must not take from the tree of life and eat and live forever. The LORD is God who drove man out of the Garden of Eden to cultivate the land from which man was taken.":
Man sinned and lost the right to be a child of God, lost the blessing of the Kingdom of Heaven. Eden must be understood as the peace and serenity of innocent souls, even in circumstances of poverty, illness, misfortune, and chaos, as after the resurrection each time Jesus appeared to his disciples He said: "Peace be with you." So Eden is the peace of God. Being driven out of Eden is a man who, because of sin, has an uneasy body and unstable soul, always suffering, afraid, craving, and desiring.
Gen 3, 24: "He drove man out, and at the east of the Garden of Eden He placed guardian angels with a flaming sword to guard the way to the tree of life."
"The FLAMING sword" is the Laws of justice that cannot be changed in the slightest, Therefore, people cannot reach the "TREE OF LIFE" which is eternal life in the Kingdom of God. Therefore, people can only rely on the merits of Jesus Christ to restore their status as children of God. Thanks to Jesus Christ as the BREAD, our souls can be nourished to live abundantly. Thanks to Jesus who has made us properly dressed to attend the Banquet of the Kingdom of Heaven.
In short, the seeds and poison of sin are spread from grandparents and parents to children and grandchildren, generation to generation, which science can determine, and more than scientific calculations are practical tests parallel to the clear determination that the Bible wants to express, not vaguely. Therefore, the Christian faith is truly correct and has a solid foundation.
And when we have clearly understood the cause of "inherited sin", the doctrine of the IMMACULATE CONCEPTION of the Virgin Mary is completely simple and easy to understand: Virgin Mary is completely pure, not infected by any sin, any bad habits from her parents, lineage or others, only then she is worthy to be the MOTHER who gave birth to the SAVIOR, only then she is worthy to be the MOTHER OF GOD.
