Matt,

All Christians rely on the Fall of Man in Genesis for basis of sin. Jews don't see it that way. They see it as the rise of man and Original Virture. Man is born pure in soul to the Jews but to the Christian man is born with Original Sin. This is how Christians warped Judaism's Messiah into Jesus the savior of humanity instead of a man come to set up the Kingdom of God.

Edit: changed Original Sin to sin to be accurate.
