    I think there is a strong argument to be made for heritable sin. Kids come out of the womb with a bent towards rebellion. You never have to teach them to defiantly shout "NO!". It seems instinctive. We are creatures defined by defiant rebellion, it seems. But it's not just our outward actions, it's the very nature of our being. This is why Jesus said to a very religious man: "You must be born again." Nicodemas had religion, he had rituals, he had morality, but he remained spiritually dead because he was born that way. He inherited it. He didn't need a self-help plan, he needed a new heart. Something he couldn't do for himself.

    As the time before Christ came, you have a long history of foreshadowing of his coming. Almost every old testament story has a prophetic element about the coming messiah and his redemptive sacrifice. The OT is shot thru with this message.
