The Jewish view concerning Adam's sin is best expressed by Ammi (Shab. 55a, based upon Ezek. xviii. 20): "No man dies without a sin of his own. Accordingly, all the pious, being permitted to behold the Shekinah (glory of God) before their death, reproach Adam (as they pass him by at the gate) for having brought death upon them; to which he replies: 'I died with but one sin, but you have committed many: on account of these you have died; not on my account'" (Tan., ?u??at, 16).

Living righteously according to the laws and ways of the Lord is the best way to free yourself from Sin. I am not familiar with that Jewish beliefs, but as far as I'm concerned, despite of our unfaithfulness, the Lord remains faithful to us. In the end times, God will judge not on the sins we've done, but on the goodness we've shown and made.

Adoniah, surely you don't expect respondents to actually read the posts and respond in a cogent fashion?

When Organized Religion was invented thousands of years ago, sin was one of the most important aspects of the Scam. Sin was the goose that layed the golden egg. Without sin religion would never have become the Richest, most Powerful, Business the World has ever seen.
God is a Loving God! God Loves absolutely with an Absolute love that asks Nothing in Return. Those whom man judges to be sinners, are forgiven by this absolute love,even before they commit the sin. Therefore there are no sins, and no sinners. Just people as innocent as preschoolers as they go about their everyday business of living in this sinless world.
