In my opinion I think we are born into sin. And sin came as a result of disobedience and not murder. I stand to be corrected!
And pertaining your question I think humanity could have been much better off

Yes, humanity would experience a totally different life if it was not for the devil's trickery.slj3988 wrote: ↑03 Jun 2020, 07:29 There is much debate amongst the religious community over the birth of murder as a sin. My question is if the devil hadn't tricked or persuaded mankind to commit such sins, would humanity have gone a different way?
It is argued by some that we are all born with original sin. We are all capable of such monstrosity. Given that we have free will, can we fairly blame evil on an entity outside ourselves?
Adam and Eve were created pure, free of sin. Their one act brought sin into the world. We are descendants of them and inherit this original sin. God gave us free will, to know what is right and wrong, and the choice is ours. I would not wholly blame the devil for my bad choices.

I'm very much satisfied with your answer. I agree with what you've said.Kirsi_78 wrote: ↑03 Jun 2020, 09:49 That is a very good question. Unfortunately, we'll never know the answer.
And what comes to your second question, I suppose Eve and Adam were not born with original sin, but they used their freedom of choice and as a result, everyone who's come after them is born with original sin. But even with this original sin we still have the freedom to choose what we do and what we don't do... That's what I've reasoned about this difficult topic so far.
