@KalebAtlanta I don't preemptively reject. I am fully aware of how many accept it. The Churches position is that of Chrysostom and that of a few others, that Original Sin as Guilt, is not the position of the Orthodox Catholic Church, but Original Sin as Ancestral, is.

@ElijahElishaRap What do you mean? I could answer that a couple ways.

Sinners by birth. We are guilty of the Sin of Adam and by birth we are made sinners. We sinned in Adam leading to the inheritance of both the consequences and a form of guilt. We are guilty of his sin, not a personal fault committed by any individual themselves, but "contracted" through descent, not just the ones we commit. Meaning, we require a legalistic type of atonement. This is very different from the Orthodox view. We sre not guilty of any ain not committed by our own selves. We suffer the consequences of Adams sin, and we suffer from concupiscence and death. Put clearly: it's more an imputation of personal guilt to all mankind. Whereas in orthodoxy, original sin (ancestral sin) is the framework of the disease of sin and death opposing humanity from the work of the devil, which then is undone by the healing and divine power that Christ brought to the earth when He established a new humanity cured from such evil and unity in his body as the church. Or as the Roman Catholics put it, "the whole human race is in Adam "as one body of one man." By this "unity of the human race" all men are implicated in Adam's sin, as all our implicated in Christ's justice... But we do know by Revelation that Adam had received original Holiness and Justice not for himself alone, but for all human nature. By yielding to the temper, Adam and Eve committed a personal sin, but this sin affected the human nature that they would then transmit in a fallen state. It is a sin which will be transmitted by propagation to all mankind, that is, by the transmission of human nature deprived of original Holiness and justice." Or as a 2007 Vatican document states, "furthermore, they [the "Greek Fathers"] had a different view of the present condition of humanity. For the Greek fathers, as a consequence of Adam's sin, human beings inherited corruption, possibility, and mortality, from which they could be restored by a process of deification made possible through the redemptive work of Christ. The idea of an inheritance of sin or guilt -- common in Western tradition -- was foreign to this perspective, since in their view sin could only be a free, personal act.."
