  You illustrate the point I was making quite nicely.
  
  Now, since even Catholic Scripture Scholars tell us that the Genesis Creation stories were inspired by God to be a myth literary form, it follows that the Bible itself is telling us that 'Adam and Eve' are characters in a story. A story that explains why our human condition is what the authors experienced it to be.
  
  'Adam and Eve' are not actual, real, historical persons. Same with the story of their 'sin'. It's not an event that actually happened. There is nothing to 'inherit'.
  
  So the Holy Spirit seems to think that we are finally prepared to understand 'original sin' in a different way. And even allow that Jesus became human and 'the prophesied Messiah' because he loves us. We certainly have quite enough personal sin to be redeemed of.
  
  Some people may be ready to follow where the Holy Spirit leads; some may not be. 
  
  But it becomes increasingly difficult to ignore the actual true understanding of Scripture.
