Q&A Home > O > Original Sin

Do Copts believes in Original Sin? I heard that the Eastern Orthodox do not believe in it and they also they reject the Immaculate Conception. How do Copts explain Original Sin and the Immaculate Conception? 

Yes, Copts (Oriental Orthodox Church) and the Eastern Orthodox Church believe in Original Sin and not in the Immaculate Conception. Only the Catholic Church believes in the Immaculate Conception.
