According to Christian belief,the death of Jesus christ brought salvation yet i fail to understand a key concept.If the original sin that is present in every human because of eating an apple then imagine how horrible it would be to kill god's only begotten son.I mean there is no more horrible sin then that in my opinion and yet Christians find salvation from this concept please explain why because I'm sure the Jews at the time killed Jesus for blasphemy not for salvation so please explain why no malice intended

The apostles of Jesus didn't have youtube back in the day so i want to understand it the way they did
We have to go through darkness in order to see how good is the Light.
John 1:10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
Hosea 6:6For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.
Your not making sense how can eating an apple lead to the original sin yet the murder of God's only begotten son lead to salvation ? :s
The sin that was conducted in the murder of Jesus does not minimize His sacrifice for our sins because He was perfect and never sinned. Thus, though men were evil, Christ was not, so it isn't good coming from evil, it is good coming from good. What it is important to remember is that Jesus gave His life, it wasn't taken. He laid down His life willingly as a sacrifice for our sins so that we could be made right with God. He was a willing sacrifice. The redemption that comes from His death comes solely from Him, who is goodness and light and purity. That is why His sacrifice cleanses us and redeems us...because He was and is good, even though men were and are evil.
Salvation doesn't come from or through man, it comes through Christ and God. You're looking at the wrong side of the crucifixion. Redemption wasn't through the sinful man, but through the sinless lamb, Jesus Christ.
Well look, you can see the fruits of Adam all around. As it say that it take one bad apple...
All in their plan to provide GRACIOUSNESS:
John.10
[17] Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
[18] No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself.
I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it
The trick now is how to get in touch with him.
For such a question u will have to read holy fathers who gave perfect explanation of your question.
Ancestral sin,as Eastern Orthodox Church understand sin of Adam,represent first sin and fall of human kind and penaty for sin was death.From that day human nature was sinful and God had to send His only begotten Son,in a form of man,to bring salvation,to restore humans,to make man a god again.Jesus Christ is called the new Adam(sinless),Godman(two natures),on the Cross gave Mysterious bath for forgiveness of sins and rised man again.
Resurrection of Godman Jesus Christ gave possibility to man that can repent for sins and can enter to Heavens.Lord Jesus Christ was fulfilement of the law which was given to Moses of Old Testament.

Romans 5:15-19 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

Acts 2:23-24 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
Acts 2:23 this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death.
Looks to me like a case of suicide. Mens hands were only a tool like a gun to fulfill the predetermined plan of God, so why should anyone feel bad, we didn't murder anyone, God did it all like it says in John 10:17-18.
Mankind since the fall is inherently evil, and it is only the Holy Spirit that constrains it from being even more destructive. You could almost say it was inevitable for wickedness to murder the Son of God when He came to dwell among us, though God is ultimately in control. We ourselves are incapable of righteousness apart from the power of the Holy Spirit transforming us into the image of Christ. And God is big enough to work through any circumstance, though nothing happens that He does not allow.
Eating an apple was not the original sin, it was man's attempt to define what was good and evil that was his downfall.
No one is inherently evil. If you were to take a gangster and start his life over from the womb in a different environment, he would lead a different life.

To justify your answer yes. I read and comp fine but most people don't see the big picture.
No, all people are sinners. We ALL have sinned. Paul expounds upon that topic throughout Romans. We are only made right through accepting Jesus' gift of mercy.
That's not what I said. We were born not knowing good and evil. Sin is based upon one's perception of what evil is.
