The way it really is: life is a gift from God. But remember, Satan the Devil has been handed legal control of this entire planet and everything in it, by God Himself, for a time, and Satan wants to rob you of that eternal life. This life is the "fake life", not the real one. This life is the manufactured life, not the natural one. It's all a lie. A clever forgery, set up to fool billions into surrendering their "real life" willingly. Those who make it to the end, without turning against God, the ones who struggle all the way to the end of the road, will receive the real life. All the rest will lose it, no matter what they decide to do in the fake world/life.

Original sin, also called ancestral sin, is a Christian belief in the state of sin in which humanity has existed since the fall of man, stemming from Adam and Eve's rebellion in Eden, namely the sin of disobedience in consuming the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This condition has been characterized in many ways, ranging from something as insignificant as a slight deficiency, or a tendency toward sin yet without collective guilt, referred to as a "sin nature", to something as drastic as total depravity or automatic guilt of all humans through collective guilt.
The doctrine of ancestral fault (προγονικὸν ἁμάρτημα progonikon hamartema), i.e. the sins of the forefathers leading to punishment of their descendants, was presented as a tradition of immemorial antiquity in ancient Greek religion by Celsus in his True Doctrine, a polemic attacking Christianity. Celsus is quoted as attributing to "a priest of Apollo or of Zeus" the saying that "the mills of the gods grind slowly, even to children's children, and to those who are born after them". The idea of divine justice taking the form of collective punishment is also ubiquitous in the Hebrew Bible.
St Paul's idea of redemption hinged upon the contrast between the sin of Adam and the death and resurrection of Jesus. "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." "For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive." Up till then the transgression in the Garden of Eden had not been given great significance. According to the Jesus scholar Geza Vermes: Paul believed that Adam's transgression in a mysterious way affected the nature of the human race. The primeval sin, a Pauline creation with no biblical or post-biblical jedi precedent, was irreparable by ordinary human effort.

People easily forget the fact that God didn't leave us, we left God.

Oh, I see now why I couldn't find it in a search, because he used a Greek character in the second letter of his username, so I would have needed to search using that Greek character.
