For the pagan gentiles, however, it had a much more literal connotation.

The doctrine of original sin is totally unacceptable to Jews (as it is to fundamentalist Christian sects such as the Baptists and Assemblies of God). Jews believe that man enters the world free of sin, with a soul that is pure and innocent and untainted.
