If the Garden of Eden is a metaphor or parable then where does original sin come from?

Yes, same annon, for me creation is literal. Meaning adam and eve were historical people. Cause if they're false then does that mean people like Daniel are false? But that is the christian faith, no other faith teaches this.

I believe Adam and Eve were real. I was just asking how people that think they weren't real explain original sin.

Most people that take the beginning of Genesis literally are proddies/Baptists, most cathlodox seem to think it's a parable and believe in evolietion

I liked the image you attached earlier, and it reminds me of how great God is. It's unfortunate people put God in a box, but we need to humble ourselves before Him and ask Him any questions we may have. One time I traveled far out into the wilderness just so I can see the stars clearly at night, it is amazing and I believe I even saw the Andromeda galaxy as a faint red blob. That one little dot in the sky, has billions of stars and planets, and that's just a single galaxy.

In the grand scheme of things, people really need to believe that God is real and that Jesus is there, right there watching you. He knows how many hairs you have on your head, He also knows your problems, your questions, and your wants. Having faith is important, and sometimes I wish I could go back and still live out my faith without knowing what I know now. God has answered many of my questions regarding the Bible and strengthened my faith very much. Jesus said, if anybody reads His Words, they also need to do them, and that faith without works is dead. So get to work and read the Bible, have faith, pray, and repent of your sins. Anyways, I got a bit off track. Wanted to say how much I appreciate your sentiment and may God bless you for your faith.

Vid related just came out from my orthodox metaphysical mentor. So, i think he may be able to help you. But more or less with out adam and eve. You have to go through a bunch of mental gymnastics for as to why there's even original sin.

What do you all think of the theory that the humans in Genesis 1 were created before Adam and Eve who, following this theory, weren't created until Genesis 2 and the confusion comes from a translation error caused by the fact that "Adam" and "man" are the same word in Hebrew. It strikes me as what calls a comfortable conclusion. The biggest flaw with it is that Eve is called the mother of all the living. How could she be called the mother of all the living if there was a separate group of people that came before her?

I think they believe that it's a metaphor for when humans evolved a sense of morality or something like that.

Satan, do you even know the context of that post, or will you keep posting this screenshot every time this thread is made like a lobotmized retard?

This. Going with that, to spell it out for OP:
The moment mankind evolved from animals to humans.
Mankind has a consciousness, awareness of itself. The realization of a soul and the existence of God. Thereby it has morals and responsibilities.
Animals are blissfully unaware of any of that. They live without any care, except for survival. That also means many atheists and LARPagans basically want to devolve.

Going the opposite route, it means that the Bible is just some book full of old stories that happened a long time ago.
Jesus often spoke in parables. No reason why you couldn't see parables in God's earlier words.

Why was that person using an Ortho flag? Official stance of the Orthodox church is that Adam and Eve actually existed if I'm not mistaken.

Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Death entered the world through sin, and sin entered the world by Adam
Right? How could proto-humans have lived and died and eventually evolved into the first "modern" humans, Adam and Eve?

Well, what's the context? What an empty post you posted just now.

jesus was fully human, jesus died, did he sin?
jesus grants man immortality, yet each immortal man still dies.
mayhaps there's more to death than meets the eye,
