There's generally three points to this.

Captivity-Occupational
Post Hosean
Its why some books (including the Torah/Pentateuch) have a very half-monotheist feel, as the stories were either written or compiled at the time of Hosea.
As for original sin it has a very tenuous base in the Bible, at best. Even then it might be argued that the sin is of Noah's children, which was a bloodline curse, as opposed to the traditional one, which lacks one requisite for an actual sin, free will.
It wasn't even a true doctrine until after Constantine, merely a popular one.
