Original sin affects everyone. While Eve sinned first, Scripture places responsibility on Adam, and all humans share the consequences. Genesis describes some consequences that differ for men and women, but Christian teaching doesn’t say women today suffer or deserve punishment because of Eve.
Your argument might hold up if there weren’t many instances throughout the Bible of intergenerational punishment because someone’s ancestor did something? Also, Christian teaching says that periods and the pain of childbirth are women’s punishment for Eve eating the fruit, so you may want to brush up on your reading lol
It’s odd to single out ‘white Americans’ like that, as if no one else has ancestors with injustice in their history. That kind of framing feels racially loaded and unhelpful. Also, I never said people shouldn’t acknowledge past harm. I said comparing historical injustice to original sin misunderstands both ideas.
Original sin is about the condition of all humanity, not personal blame passed down. The Bible itself discourages inherited guilt in Ezekiel 18:20. ‘Lmfao please you have to do better than that.’ I get this topic stirs emotion, but if we want real dialogue, mockery doesn’t help understanding.
You’re right some Old Testament passages mention consequences across generations, but you’re missing the full picture. Scripture later corrects that idea: ‘The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father… the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.’ (Ezekiel 18:20)
You misrepresented my point, ignored the actual argument, and replaced it with sarcasm. That’s not ‘whataboutism’—which deflects criticism by raising unrelated issues. I drew a direct comparison to expose a flawed analogy. If that makes you uncomfortable, mocking it doesn’t make it less valid.
It’s telling that you never addressed the actual point, that your analogy between original sin and historical injustice collapses under scrutiny. Instead, you sidestepped into sarcasm and projection. If you believed your position could hold up, you’d engage the argument. You didn’t. That says enough.
You’re the one misrepresenting the reality 😂😂😂 the mental gymnastics to act like “To the woman he said, ‘I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth; in pain you will bring forth children…’” — Genesis 3:16 isn’t explicitly a punishment being put on female descendants of Eve for her actions is truly Olympic level 😂😂😂😂 in psychiatry, they called that a delusion, but I guess we should expect those from your group
