EXAMINING THE REALITY OF ’THE ORIGINAL SIN’

To be more specific, amongst the doctrines which the followers of Jesus (‘alayhi as-salâm – peace be upon him) have inherited across centuries is the belief in ’the original sin’. Every individual is born into a religious environment that is not in accordance with his/her choice; a child is raised to follow the religion or ideology of his/her family, society or culture. Even as a new-born, he/she is assigned either the religion of his/her family or the ideology of the state; in some countries, the child’s assigned religion is even recorded on his/her birth certificate. By the time individuals reach their teens, they have usually accepted the beliefs of their parents or
their particular society, feeling that they have little choice in the matter.
To be more specific, amongst the doctrines which the followers of Jesus (‘alayhi as-salâm – peace be upon him) have inherited across centuries is the belief in ‘the original sin’.
