How do we know that original sin is true?

Answered in 4 sources

Original sin is substantiated by Scripture, particularly in Romans 5:12, which states that sin entered the world through one man, Adam.

The doctrine of original sin holds that through Adam's disobedience, sin entered the world, affecting all of humanity. This is clearly stated in Romans 5:12, where Paul writes, 'Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned.' This verse serves as a theological basis for understanding the universal sinful condition inherited by all humans.

Moreover, the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles consistently affirm this understanding of human sinfulness. For instance, in John 8:34, Jesus declares that everyone who sins is a slave to sin, indicating a pervasive condition that aligns with the teachings of original sin. Thus, the theological framework provided by Scripture, coupled with the observable reality of human sinfulness, confirms the truth of original sin as a foundational doctrine within Reformed theology.
