And all that you have to do to "wash away" that sin is to believe in Jesus. Let's take other religions as a comparison, since every religion believes that their way of thinking is correct (I'm about to sound like a thirty y/o theologian, ew). Take Judaism: their "origin" of sin is identical to what Christians believe (Adam/Eve apple scandal), yet, they believe that the unborn/newborn is completely innocent and untainted. Another religion, Islam, also rejects the idea of being born sinners. They follow the quote, "The person who sins will die. The son will not bear the punishment for the father’s iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son’s iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness the wicked will be upon himself” (Ezekiel 18:20). They also claim that it was God’s plan from the beginning to put Adam and Eve on earth; it was never to leave them in the garden. So now that I wrote that huge paragraph full of random facts, I wonder if I asked another religion that same question, they would give me another answer.

I sound like I know much more than I actually do. xd Well when you're first born, you probably haven't sinned yet, but immediately you can see that a baby is already sinful. He or she cries for what they want and don't stop until they get whatever that is. The older they get the worse it is.

The reason we need Jesus is because naturally we're prone to be sinful, and focused on ourselves. There's no way we can fix that about ourselves on our own, which is why we need Jesus. If we let Him, He'll take our lives and reshape them.

Jesus loves all of you! Don't think of Christianity as a boring religion that's just something that poeple do. God is real and He wants to be real for you!
