The original sin
Original sin includes spiritual and freshical original sin. Spiritual original sin is the the form of the being that imprisoned in clay because it wants to become like God in the kingdom of God. For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; (2 Peter 2:4)
So human beings are born as clay, and they return to soil again when they was died. God waits for the exiled spirits to return as repentance, as in the parable of the prodigal son.
God brought Adam, who was born in this world as being soul, into the garden of Eden and saved the spirit on the sixth day God created Adam. Eve was separated from Adam. But humans sinned in the garden of Eden.
They ate the fruit of the tree to know good and evil because they wanted to be like God after hearing Satan's words.『For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.』(Genesis 3:5)
The original sin is inherited from generation to generation. Paul expressed it as an oldself(evil). People continue to commit because of this manself.『And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;』 (Ephesians 2:1) Sinners can only be reborn if they crucify this original sin (oldself: evil) with Jesus. Sinner can enter into the kingdom of God when they are born again.
『That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.』(Ephesians 4:22-24)
There is one difference between kjv and niv.『And be renewed in the spirit of your mind』(kjv), 『to be made new in the attitude of your minds(niv)』 The spirit is not an attitude. The spirit is given by God, but the attitude is from the body.
