Doctrine is that which is taught, so you are asking what is being taught about sin? What is sin, how did it come about. is it something we acquire after being born? First of all the first man and woman was born without sin. (Sin means missing the mark of perfection) Adam and Eve did not have sin when they were born. They measured up to God's perfect standards, how ever ,He gave the right to choose, between right and wrong, between obedience and disobedience, to make moral decisions.

In the case of Eve, the wrong desires began to develop when she listened with interest to Satan, who urged her to eat of the forbidden fruit. Thus she ate and fell "short of the glory of God."She also left that perfect state,thereby sinning.

As offspring of sinner Adam, we were born in sin. From birth on, the inclination of our heart is toward badness. Those who deliberately choose a course of sin, making a practice of it, are viewed by God as criminals. the course they have chosen is the one that Satan himself first took.

There is a way out. Jesus came to the earth as a ransom sacrifice for our sins. John 3:16 says God loved the world so much that He gave His Only Begotten Son that we might have life. Yes, YOU AND ME.

Is believing in original sin the same as believing that everyone is guilty?

Not exactly. The original sin doctrine teaches that all were born with a nature of sin or guilt, and separation from God. It doesn't mean the same as blaming victims or believing that everyone is guilty of something. You might be born with the same sin nature as a murderer, but you might never even be temped to kill. The original sin doctrine is more about the separation from God part than any specific acts.


Would it be a sin to take from one who has the mark of the beat?

Yes. Going by the Christian doctrine a sin is a sin and it doesn't matter who it is commited against.

There is a way around the murder sin though, but there is no way around the sin that you mentioned.
