[Aquila]

The point is this, the idea that we're all born with a clean and sinless slate, without sinful impulses, or any effects from the sins and experiences of our ancestors is poppycock.

The fall has indeed messed us up to such a degree that even our very genetic make up is saturated with sin, pain, and injury.

If you have something strange that you struggle with - an irrational fear, phobia, compulsive behavior, sexual deviance, or the like... investigate your family tree. Try to dig up all the dirty little secrets nobody has talked about in generations. The likelihood is rather high that you'll discover that you bear the curse of the sins of our ancestors, or the scars of their trauma and abuse.
