What is Original Sin?

This is the core concept of the Unification Theology. Supposedly, Original Sin is a special element that Adam and Eve inherited from the Archangel through sexual intercourse with the angel. In order to be saved or restored, Original Sin must be removed. DP theory states that only the messiah can remove Original Sin. However, oddly enough the DP never clarifies what Original Sin actually is! This essay explores the notion of Original Sin. Asking such questions as: What is Original sin? Where did it come from? Where does it reside in the Human Body? How do I get rid of it? How can I be sure it's removed? How can I keep from being re-infected?

This essay explores the practice and theological origins of P’ikareun and explores its connection to the UC. Is P’ikareun a true method of restoration or simply a mistaken justification for adultery and fornication?
