I am getting A Baptist Catechism from Desiring God website. I am trying to hang in there and to learn from this too.
Question 22: What is the sinfulness of that condition into which all mankind has fallen?
Answer: The sinfulness of the condition into which all mankind fell is the guilt of Adam’s first sin, the lack of original righteousness, and the corruption of our whole nature (which is commonly called original sin), together with all actual transgressions which come from this nature.
Scripture: Romans 5:19; Romans 3:10; Ephesians 2:1; Isaiah 53:6; Psalm 51:5; Matthew 15:19.(I will be posting it below, so that you don't have to go to the link. All the link will be English Standard Version "ESV".)
Comment: The Bible says that "in Adam all die" (1 Cor. 15:22) and that "one transgression yields condemnation for all men" (Rom. 5:18) and that "one man’s disobedience made many sinners" (Rom. 5:19). These statements lead us to conclude that God, in a way beyond our comprehension, established a unity between Adam and his posterity which makes it just for us to receive the imputation of his guilt and corruption. He was in some sense our representative head. We sinned in him and fell with him.
19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous. Romans 5:19 ESV
10 as it is written:
“None is righteous, no, not one; Romans 3:10 ESV
2 :1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins Ephesians 2:1 ESV
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:6 ESV
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me. Psalm 51:5 ESV
19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. Matthew 15:19 ESV
