I suppose it depends on what you mean by original sin.
Sin nor a tendency to sin was passed down to us from Adam. However, as we are all sons of Adam we all take part in his curse, natural death. That curse is upon us whether we sin or do not sin. I mean even Jesus died.
Romans 5:12 "...
so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"
Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
There is no other verse that will back this thought up: Adam sinning did not make us sin. Therefore I conclude the best reading of
Romans 5:19 is that one man's disobedience made us as sinners before God and likewise one man's rightouesness made us as righteous before God. What I have posted here is the clear teaching throughout romans, that we are not righteous but that we are counted as righteous because of Christ's righteousness.
