The term '''Original Sin''' (or "''first"sin'') Sinis used among all Christian groups to define the doctrine surrounding Romans 5:12-21 and 1 corinthians 15:22, in which Adam is identified as the man whom through death came into the world. It has mainly been adopted by the Roman Catholic Church who's catechism is that [[Adam]] and [[Eve]] committed a ''peronsal sin'' and that the term is only used in an analogical sense to describe "sin" as contracted and not committed. <!---mainly in the Western Church and it defines the doctrine that the "first" sin was committed by [[Adam]] and [[Eve]] (see [[Book of Genesis]] Chapter 3) and that while everyone bears the consequences of the first sin, the foremost of which is physical death (in this world), ''only'' Adam and Eve are guilty of that sin (see [[Book of Ezekiel]] Chapter 18). The origins of this teaching lend themselves to [[Augustine of Hippo]] who based it on Romans 5:12. In the [[Orthodoxy|Orthodox church]] the term '''[[Ancestral Sin]]''' (Gr. προπατορικό αμάρτημα) is used to define the doctrine of man's "inclanation towards sin, a heritage from the sin of our progenitors" and that this is removed through [[baptism]]. ---->
