The broken law of God demanded the life of the sinner. In all the universe there was but one who could, in behalf of man, satisfy its claims. Since the divine law is as sacred as God Himself, only one equal with God could make atonement for its transgression. None but Christ could redeem fallen man from the curse of the law and bring him again into harmony with Heaven. Christ would take upon Himself the guilt and shame of sin—sin so offensive to a holy God that it must separate the Father and His Son. Christ would reach to the depths of misery to rescue the ruined race. PP 63.2

God was to be manifest in Christ, "reconciling the world unto Himself." 2 Corinthians 5:19. Man had become so degraded by sin that it was impossible for him, in himself, to come into harmony with Him whose nature is purity and goodness. But Christ, after having redeemed man from the condemnation of the law, could impart divine power to unite with human effort. Thus by repentance toward God and faith in Christ the fallen children of Adam might once more become "sons of God." 1 John 3:2. PP 64.1

I'm not sure what you mean. Christian's are making the claim that I'm a sinner from birth. I'm pointing out that this sounds like what blacks are doing to whites by blaming today's whites for the sins of their ancestors.

While we are all descended from Adam (and Eve), what makes us "children of Adam" is our behavior. I'm not very well-versed in original vs actual sin, but I doubt it would make a difference for the purpose of this conversation. You are hostile towards God, at least towards what you think he is (and maybe that's because of what you've seen done/said in the name of God, or by his supposed followers).

You should find out for yourself. Was Jesus resurrected? That's the whole linchpin of the faith. Take it or leave it.
