In the [[Book of Genesis]], Chapter 3, [[Adam]] and [[Eve]] committed a sin, the ''original sin''. The [[Orthodoxy|Eastern Orthodox]] teach church teaches that no one is guilty for the actual sin they committed but rather everyone bears inherits the consequences of this original act, ; the foremost of this is physical death in this world), however, ''only'' Adam and Eve are guilty of . This is the reason why the original act (see [[Book fathers of Ezekiel]] Chapter 18)the church over the centuries have preferred the term "Ancestoral Sin". The consequences and penalties of this ''Ancestoral act'' are transferred by means of natural heredity to the entire human race. Since every human is a descendant of Adam then 'no one is free from the implications of this sin' (which is human death) and that the only way to be freed from this is through baptism.
