Original sin was a sin of disobedience of God's command: > Romans 5:19 : … by the disobedience of one man, many were made sinners … cf. Council of Trent sess. 5, can. 2 But which command(s) did Adam disobey? 1. >Genesis 1:28
And God blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move upon the earth. 2. >Genesis 2:17 (the "law of probation")
But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat. For in what day soever thou shalt eat of it, thou shalt die the death.
