Is the Adam and Eve story true? Unless the story is true, the concept of ‘original sin’ has no meaning, and there was no need for Jesus to 'save' humanity from 'original sin'.
From: Ebsco (dot) com
“Original sin is a Christian doctrine that teaches all humans inherit a sinful nature from Adam and Eve due to their disobedience to God in the Garden of Eden. This condition affects every person, making them morally and spiritually flawed from birth, and is often seen as a barrier to a relationship with God.â€
From: U.S. Catholic (dot) org
"According to Christian belief, Jesus' sacrifice is seen as a means to save humanity from original sin, which is the state of sin inherited from Adam and Eve. This salvation is believed to be available to all who have faith in Him."

Clothed in sin?
NO
As soon as they disobeyed they were ashamed. And that shame manifested itself physically so they covered themselves with fig leaves and tried to hide

So you are telling me that if God told you not to eat from a certain tree; if you did you would die- you would eat from it? Really
Youd do the same thing as those two fools
in the garden?
