The punishment of Adam: there is no information about men being born sinful after the fall of Adam.

  Punishments that are listed in Genesis speak nothing of "Original Sin" this would seem to be the logical place where God would choose to warn man if this was so. We do see punishments that were given to Adam that is it would be a hard task to grow crops and Eve was punish by pain in childbirth and that both were thrown out of the garden of Eden. And we notice that the Bible points out that men were capable of living a holy life in Genesis 5:23 we see that Enoch live to be 365 years and he walked with God and he was not for God took him. In Genesis Chapter 6:8 we read that Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord, what does this mean that He found grace, Noah found favor with God's acceptance, Noah was blameless he was righteous in God's sight. Noah chose to do good while others around him chose to do evil he had free will and was obedient to God.The problem is that the church did not teach these things until a man named Augustine brought this teachings into the Church, which are false. Are you aware that Augustine was a Manichean and study the philosophy of Plato before he his so called conversion. What is Manichean-ism? It is the belief that your flesh is evil and your spirit is good, but your flesh is matter it does not choose to do good or evil it is your heart or will that makes choices. For example; when a person chooses to kill someone with a gun it is not the gun's fault for the person who was killed, but it is the one who chooses to pull the trigger that is at fault and will be charged for murder. Another words what Augustine introduce in the Church was Gnostic beliefs, and ever since, man has blame God as the creator of sin plus man does not want to take the responsibility that it is he who chooses to do wrong. He wants pastors to tell him that is okay for him to be double minded in 2 Timothy 4:3 " For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers, and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables." This is true of all churches today no matter if you are Reformed or Arminian in the Protestant faith they are not teaching truth but fables. If you desire the Truth with a pure heart God would reveal truth to you but if you desire  is to feel comfortable then you will be judge.
