So, you do not actually have better reading comprehension.OK...ok....here is your lesson:
John 14:15 15 “If you love me, keep my commandments.” Yup….those ten.
Both Judaism and Christianity use this story [banishment from the garden of Eden] to explain human suffering. For Christianity, sin (and therefore suffering) entered the world through the Original Sin of Adam and Eve.
And while Judaism does not use the term “Original Sin,” it explains the introduction of suffering in essentially the same way. A difference between Christian and Jewish teachings on this issue is that Christian theology teaches that because of Adam and Eve’s sin, all people are born in a state of sin while the Jewish belief is people are born innocent (though prone to do bad). Or, as Joseph Telushkin puts it, “The prevailing attitude among Jewish scholars is that people sin as Adam and Eve sinned, not because they sinned.”

Not really shocked. One day you may be able to actually understand a concept well enough that you can apply its framework to other ideas. One day but that day seems to not be today.
