Hi infinityBanana,
Some people outside the Catholic church don't think of Communion as a sacrament, but it is in the New Testament (NT) in the form of a fellowship meal taken by believers, together.
1 Corinthians 11:23 onwards
Matthew 26:17 - 30 (Gives context.)
Luke 22:14 - 20
The argument for original sin is made from the fact that we all die, and we all sin. No-one who is born lives a sinless life. We don't even perceive certain behaviours as the result of falling to temptation, even if we know that some people, and God, would consider those actions to be 'wrong'. We are comforable in our favourite sins, until we come under the conviction of the Holy Spirit, and begin to desire freedom from sin.
There are many references to sin, but from a doctrinal point of view, Romans 5, 6 and 8 give a doctrinal approach. Jesus Himself said we have to disown our lives, take up our cross daily, and follow Him, or we are not fit to be His disciples. Luke 9:23 - 26.
Jesus humanity and divinity was prophesied together by Isaiah in chapter 9:
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God,
The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end,
upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom,
to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice
from henceforth even for ever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Also Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign;
Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son,
and shall call his name Immanuel.
