Erbsünde

Erbsünde, also known as original sin, is a concept in Christian theology that refers to the sin committed by the first human beings, Adam and Eve, in the Garden of Eden. According to the Bible, they disobeyed God's command not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, leading to their expulsion from Eden and the introduction of suffering and death into the world. This sin is considered to be the source of all human sin and suffering, and it is seen as a consequence of human free will and disobedience to God's commandments. The concept of Erbsünde is central to Christian theology and has been interpreted and discussed by theologians throughout history. It is often used to explain the presence of evil and suffering in the world, as well as the need for redemption through Jesus Christ. The exact nature and implications of Erbsünde vary among different Christian denominations and theological traditions.
