๐ฟ In this profound interpretation, Master Woo Myung reexamines the meaning of original sin as described in the Bible.
โ๏ธ Rather than viewing sin as something inherited, he explains that sin arises through the life one lives and the self one creates.
๐ Human beings are originally an existence of nothingness, but through living for survival and forming the self, they accumulate what is called sin and karma.
๐๏ธ This teaching reveals that when the self disappears and one returns to the original state, sin no longer exists, and one becomes free in Truth and non-existence.
๐ง Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
What is Adam and Eveโs Original Sin?
What is Adam and Eveโs original sin spoken of in the Bible?
The life one lives comes from being born as a human being and it is through his life that man comes to have sin, of and by himself.
Originally, man is an existence that has absolutely nothing, but since he makes sins and karma of and by himself and he has to live bearing their burden, this can be called original sin.
Man did not originally have sins.
Sins and karma came to exist when man began to live for his own survival, and they cease to exist when his self does not exist.
That oneโs self does not exist means he is no longer controlled by his self and that he has found his real self – the original self.
Such a person does not have original sin because he does not dwell in his life though he is alive, and he does not reside in his daily life though he lives each day.
Therefore, it is wrong to say that man has original sin.
Life itself is sin, but one does not have sin.
A personโs origin is neither good nor evil; it is non-existence.
It is said that acting for oneโs survival or his existence is sin but even this does not exist.
Man has sins because people are not enlightened.
Man does not have sin.
A person is simply a person, and all creations are simply what they are-no more and no less, and they do not have any sins or karma.
One can be liberated from these conceptions completely when one knows Truth.
