You obviously don't understand baptism, for if you did, you wouldn't ask the question in the first place, and then follow it up with another spin.

The question is answered, but you refuse to hear it. The dense cranium of a modern woman.

You can wash it away SPIRITUALLY
But you can’t wash away genetics.

Water baptism erases the guilt of original sin, but everyone, except the Christ and His Blessed Mother (both of Whom are conceived Immaculately, hence, no original sin), inherits the physical effects of original sin. Not only humans, but animals and the rest of nature.

Concupiscence remains as a lingering effect after baptism.

I remember that from Religious class. So, I wonder if we have to fight our genetics to stay true to Gods will.

If original sin is genetic as well as spiritual.

We're all wounded physically, mentally and spiritually because of original sin, but the soul is freed of its guilt upon water baptism.

But Blessed Mary and the *human nature* of Jesus Christ still experienced temptations and they had free will, just as Adam and Eve when they were first created without the stain of sin. As we know, Mary and the Christ chose God over temptation every time, but Eve, and subsequently, Adam, chose sin over God.

* * Jesus Christ is a Divine Being with two natures: Divine and human
