    • Theory that Adam and Eve disobeyed God = Original sin = evil.
    • In Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were told not to eat forbidden fruit from the “Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil’, but ate = got punished for actions - endure suffering in life (the fall).
  • Believe humans are born with (inherited) tendency towards evil and cause suffering (Original sin).
  • “… the intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth.” Genesis 8:21
  • Believe world created by God = initially good, but humans were given free will by God to make moral choices.
  • Believe, power for good (God) and for evil - Satan or Devil, thought to have been archangel who disobeyed God, so was thrown out of heaven.
  • Everyone is born with Original Sin. Baptism washes this away and allows one to start fresh with God.
