What does Genesis really teach about the Fall and Original Sin? 🌱 In this third OCIA class, we unpack the creation narrative, the role of Adam and Eve, and the profound consequences of their choice. Through scripture and Catholic teaching, we explore how humanity’s first sin disrupted harmony—with God, each other, and creation—and how this moment shapes our world today. How does the Catholic Church reconcile God’s goodness with the presence of sin? What is the deeper meaning behind the tree of knowledge of good and evil?
This video challenges common misconceptions, breaking down what is explicitly taught in scripture about the Fall. You'll uncover how Catholicism views Original Sin, salvation history, and humanity's journey back to God. We also address practical questions: Why does sin harm us even when it seems harmless? How does scripture guide us in understanding morality and free will?
Join us for this thought-provoking session as we clarify core teachings of Christianity, correct misunderstandings, and lay the foundation for the New Covenant fulfilled in Christ. Ready to see how all of scripture points to God’s love and redemption? Watch now and stay tuned for the next class, where we dive into salvation history and the covenants!
