Where did original sin come from ?

[e v e]

Ummm, so, what was not sinful but righteous in the sight of GOD suddenly became sinful because they were now sinners?

If that is your contention, I disagree - GOD does not change.

If I got it wrong and that's not what you impy, then please educate me...

not at all...

they were now perceiving through the carnal mindset and engaging with something evil outside of God.... Those were the tinted glasses.

His souls did not have the current substandard physicality in eden.

We know it is wrong for SINNERS to be running around naked.

I stopped right here. The reason why is that your comment is 100% inaccurate and here is why; the Lord is not a sinner and yet he wore clothing. He did not run around naked and we know He always did what was right.

God Bless

Being naked in public is nowhere said to be sinful or evil though He did many other things that the theologians of the day declared were sinful...

Being naked is a metaphor for being sinful all thru the bible. Why would our Lord display Himself as sinful when it was bad enough to display Himself as a mere human?

Adam and Eve were `rm, naked OR sinful, BEFORE THEY ATE and their eyes were opened to their sin, not of eating but of their already being naked, implying most strongly being `rm meant being sinful! NOT naked ! ...a sin they had before eating.

I believe in a very strict Biblical view of the origin of sin, and how it applies to all born in the flesh for this present world.

1 John 3:8
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
KJV

Heb 2:14-15
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
KJV

Apostle John in the above was not pointing to the sin of Adam and Eve as the origin of sin. He was pointing to the devil himself, but when? Obviously, the devil sinning from the beginning had to have been sometime prior to Adam and Eve, as the devil was already in his role as adversary against God when he tempted Adam and Eve to sin. That means Biblically, we need to move back in time before Adam and Eve in order to Biblically understand the origin of sin.

In Ezekiel 28, God was giving a parable using the prince of Tyrus and king of Tyrus. There God pointed directly to Satan himself using that prince and king as 'types'. God said He originally made Satan 'perfect in his ways'. Per that parable Satan even originally served God right at His Altar, and then iniquity was found in him because Satan tried to set himself up as God, coveting God's throne, which it was his job to guard as a covering cherub.

That was when, and how, sin first entered in, not with Adam and Eve, but by Satan coveting God's throne, wanting to be worshiped as God. The very first sin in the flesh was by Adam and Eve in God's Garden, but the very first sin, the original sin, was by Satan coveting God's throne in the old world, the world prior to Adam and Eve.

We don't hear this idea being preached very often in today's Church, but it is very important to understand. The reason is because at the end of this world, God is going to allow Satan to do the same kind of rebellion he did in coveting God's throne that he did in that old world. That is what Lord Jesus and His Apostles warnings about the coming Antichrist/false Messiah are about for the end of this world, and we are almost in it today with his appearing here on earth in plain sight, working great signs and wonders, and raining fire down from heaven to the earth in the sight of men.

yes the devil was the origin of sin who deceived eve into sinning and influenced adam to sin. the trickle down effect.
