Let me ask you a few questions:
The Bible does not refer to Adam and Eve’s first sin as a “fall” so why should we?
Adam and Eve sinned with the “nature” they had, so why would our “nature” have to change in order for us to sin?
We know “knowledge” of good and evil was gained for mankind through the eating of the fruit, but is knowledge itself bad to have?
Would it be “fair” for God to give a better “nature” to Adam & Eve than we have?
“Knowledge” of good and evil does provide us with lots more ways to sin and so all mature adults do sin, but is sin the problem or is unforgiven sin the problem?
Do all these “curses” given Adam & Eve and pasted down to man, help or hinder man in his fulfilling his earthly objective?
Jesus could use any words He wanted to in describing the prodigal son, but twice referred to him as being “dead” even though the father knew the son was alive, so in a dead state (by Christ’s definition of dead) a person can do stuff that causes them to come to their senses and for selfish reasons tern to the Father.
It is very true the nonbelieving sinner cannot do anything righteous, worthy, deserving of anything, so he cannot "choose Christ", but he can wimp out, give up and surrender to his enemy while God is still his enemy in hopes of receiving undeserved charity and thus have some kind of livable life.
some scriptures on why I think man is born free of sin so:
Deut. 24:16, "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin."
2 Kings 14:6, But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin."
Ezek. 18:20 "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him."
Ezek.33:20, "Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways."
Jer. 31:29-30 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge."
God tells us that we do not inherit anyone's sin (Ezek. 18:20; cf. 2 Ki. 14:6). We sin after giving into temptation. We are tempted when we are carried away and enticed by our own lusts (Ja. 1:13- 15). Then when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death (Ja. 1:
Jesus teaches us that we must become as little children to enter the kingdom of God (Matt. 18:3- 4; Lk. 18:16-17) ---- we must be as infants regarding evil (1 Cor. 14:20). Therefore, babies are born without sin. If they die, they are safe, because they have no sin
Ps 22 Yet you are he who took me from the womb;
you made me trust you at my mother's breasts.
On you was I cast from my birth,
and from my mother's womb you have been my God.
This Psalms 51:5 is often used as the “proof text” for man being born a sinner: Psalm 51:5 - "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me." KJV
The problem is this is not talking about “David” being the sinner at conception, but his “mother” being the sinner at his conception. This is a very poetic verse, so it is hard to take everything literally, but if his mother is the issue with him baring the burden of original sin then Christ would have the same issue? The Jews have a very lengthy ancient oral tradition about David’s mother that would explain this verse, but it is not in scripture. In scripture David refers to his mother twice as being extremely Spiritual and does not talk about his father in such positive ways.
