| The Greek Fathers emphasized the cosmic dimension of the Fall, namely that since Adam human beings are born into a fallen world, but held fast to belief that man, though fallen, is free.[2] They thus did not teach that human beings are deprived of free will and involved in total depravity, which is one understanding of original sin.[15][16] During this period the doctrines of human depravity and the inherently sinful nature human flesh were taught by Gnostics, and orthodox Christian writers took great pains to counter them.[17][18] Christian Apologists insisted that God's future judgment of humanity implied humanity must have the ability to live righteously.[19][20] Free and Premium Wordpress Themescheap sms | |
