text: Frank, the recent insight I have concerning Original sin goes this way.  "the sin of the world".  Jesus said He is Life. While He was dying He said.  "Father may they be one as you and I are one".  "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do".  We killed Life, therefore all life must die.  The sin of the world.  There is only one thing we need to care about, that is Life.  When we nurture and care for all of life we are realizing that now, we " know what we do" and are trying to live for the Ressurrection of all Life, which Jesus promised.
