"Sin is this taint that gets passed down"

Spoken by someone who doesn't understand original sin.

There are two things going on: one, Adam sinned and the world fell, beginning man's separation from God; and two, all of us share Adam's fleshly nature which is the thing that makes it impossible for us to live a perfet, sinless life. Sooner or later (virtually always so "sooner" as to be "immediate") something jumps up and grabs us by the heart and we do our own will rather than God's.

That's all.

As for wrestling with God, all I can say is that God has made it unnecessary to fight with him.

You need to read the epistle to the Hebrews, Dennis. It would appeal to your rational nature. It's my suspicion that if you have, you weren't paying a lot of attention. And put down the KJV, read the NIV thx.
