We speak of the human race as being "Totally Depraved," at least those of us who are Augustinian, and not Armenian in our theology. But how exactly are we totally depraved?
It is from our ancestor, Adam. A literal human? The first of our kind, or a figurative story—a metaphor for the faith?
Are we sinful because:
(1) We sinned with Adam in the garden?
(2) We are sinful by our association with Adam?
(3) We are now sick (from something) because of Adam's disobedience—something was passed over, onto us?
(4) ...or something else?
Why am I sinful by nature?
