There is a fascinating passage found in the book of Ezekiel where Yahweh commands ezekiel to take the sins of Israel upon himself, by making him go through a torture episode ...but how? Let's fund out:
--------------------
4 “Then lie on your left side and put the sin of the people of Israel upon yourself. You are to bear their sin for the number of days you lie on your side. 5 I have assigned you the same number of days as the years of their sin. So for 390 days you will bear the sin of the people of Israel.
6 “After you have finished this, lie down again, this time on your right side, and bear the sin of the people of Judah. I have assigned you 40 days, a day for each year. 7 Turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem and with bared arm prophesy against her. 8 I will tie you up with ropes so that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have finished the days of your siege. (Ezekiel 4:4-8)
----------------
In short Yahweh makes Ezekiel lay on his right side for 390 days, and then on his left side for another 40 days. He even ties him up like a hostage victim !! Bear in mind ezekiel is made to eat dung cakes during his torture.. Can you imagine the physical and psychological trauma ezekiel must of gone through? Humiliated in such an extreme way!!!
This raises another question if ezekiel could take the sins of Israel on himself what makes Jesus so special that he took sins upon himself also?... Ezekiel did it before Jesus could... Which makes ezekiel the original saviour of isreal right? bear in mind nowhere in the entire NT Jesus said he came as a redeemer for the sins of mankind which was inherited from Adam and Eve?
– At Ezekiel 14:14, the phrase is יְנַצְּלוּ נַפְשָׁם (y’natsLU
nafSHAM).
– At Ezeloe; 14:20, the phrase is יַצִּילוּ נַפְשָׁם (yaTSIlu
nafSHAM).
Christians fall in a serious dilemma now!! SHAME...
According
to orthordox teaching, Adam was forgiven and no sin passed on.
Adam
and Chavah had repented, hence G-d related to them accordingly (Rabbeinu Bahya,
Bereshit 3:21)
Adam
repented before his Master...Adam sits at the gate of the Garden of Eden (Zohar
1:65b)
Shenei
Luchot HaBerit, Torah Shebikhtav, Mishpatim, Torah Ohr 42
Adam had sinned
originally, but he was forgiven after he had sacrificed an ox as a sin
offering. This ox is reputed to have possessed only one horn .
No such thing as original sin according to mainstream orthodox Judaism
A person dies only because of his own sins and not because of
some preexistent sin. (Talmud Shabbat 55a)
