The concept of Original Sin is based on an understanding that St Augustine developed in his writings on scripture. The main evidence is from Romans 7, where Paul says that 'through Adam, all sinned'. However, much modern scholarship suggests that the Latin translation of The Bible that Augustine had, the Vulgate, incorrectly translated the idea of 'through' (in quo), and instead in the original Greek it says 'eph-ho' (in whom)- suggesting that each person is born (as per Jacobus Arminius) neither good nor bad, with the capacity for either good or evil. It's up to you to decide!
