text: I disagree with calling the Adam and Eve story a myth. It is more accurately called an allegory a story that says there are consequences for disobeying the the will of God. We do not inherit the sin of anyone else except  our own sin. The Adam and Eve story is a parable with a message. Baptism was originally the sacrament of repentance not confession. Jesus did not hear  confessions.  Confession was a later development in Christianity. Infant baptism was also a later development. How could an infant have repentance.Infant baptism or lack there of created the Limbo problem.
