What was Jesus view of sin and how does it differ from The Judaic tradition?

I heard of original sin but that doesn't make sense. How could one man effect the whole human race based off of a bad decision in a garden? Sin means to miss the Mark in Judaism and it doesn't necessarily mean evil like how many people think. You can miss the Mark with God, friend, or even yourself.

So how does a person say original sin effected us all? It doesn't make sense to me. If Adam sinned against God that is his wrong doing not ours, he must suffer the consequence for it.

Update:

@Delete The tree of good and evil itself denotes the choice man had. It also signifies a balance, and duality. It is perpendicular to God creating light in the darkness of space.

    Jesus didn't say that a new born baby have an original sin, only Paul said that,, you know Paul may have contradicted Jesus teaching.

    Jesus only said, "....therefore they were cast out of paradise, and condemned all their progeny."

    Condemn is not the same as sin.

    Also it would be better for us to read about Jesus teaching in Aramaic language (if possible).

    Peace be upon Jesus the prophet.

    Jesus actually believed that "sin" and "devils" cause disease and illness.

    "Jesus believed in Noah's Ark (Mt 24:37), Adam & Eve (Lk 3:38), Jonah living in a fish (Mt 12:40), and Lot's wife turning into salt (Lk 17:31)... Was Jesus smarter than a fifth grader?" - No Meek Messiah, p. 38

    One bad teacher can affect many students.

    Where there is a void of knowledge only ignorance can be passed.

    When Adam turned away from God not only did he begin to forget much but he also began to see through a new distortion called free will. Believing we were created to choose our own path is the principal seed of corruption sown of the serpent. Using that seed man further corrupts himself.

    But most of you are so stubbornly stuck in the lies you have been taught that you won't let yourself see it. Most of you won't even revisit the scriptures to test any other premise. Many of you do not even have any idea how to get past what you already believe so that you can take a fresh look.

    (We are all freaks by the effects of Adam's sin. What better than a recovering freak to know a freak.) You freaks would rather believe that sin is inherited by being passed along in the womb so you can excuse yourselves of having to take positive action and not be responsible for the situation you were born to live in so as to make it better. That is why so many of you teach the lie claiming Paul taught we are stuck with sin while in our present bodies. That's just one more of your failures to comprehend. You've manufactured a god who excuses sin rather than does as the one true God and pardons you of sin so that you have an opportunity to correct the ignorance of his righteousness within you which causes it.

    Your twisted understanding of the scriptures is the greatest proof this world's end is near and too stupid to know it.

    Your false religion began as Satan's scheme to discredit the Bible and cause people to stop believing in God. That scheme has had great success but you yet have a few days left to repent. It would be wise to use them by reconsidering all you believe is right.

    Jesus thought sin was uncool and didn't want any part of it. He was trying to get everyone to love each other but it just wasn't working sadly. He wanted to rid the world of sin. God gave free will to man and there just happens to be a lot of confusion that comes with that. It's as timeless of a question as "What is the meaning to life?".
