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! #bible #letterstothechurch #god #faith #biblestudy #originalsin #god'slove #originalsin #catholicprayers #moralphilosophy CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Intro 04:04 - Opening Prayer 05:01 - Review of Last Class 05:45 - Catholic Church's Stance on Sexuality 08:11 - Authority of the Catholic Church 22:30 - Genesis 1-2 Review 23:30 - Genesis 3 28:20 - Purpose of Man's Creation 33:20 - Origin of Sin in the World 41:31 - The Fall of Man 55:52 - Protoevangelium Explained 58:49 - Understanding Typology 1:00:50 - Jewish Understanding of Scripture 1:02:25 - Timeline of the Old Testament 1:06:00 - Role of the Pope 1:17:00 - Concept of Hope 1:18:03 - Definition of Sin 1:21:10 - Mortal vs. Venial Sin 1:25:55 - Impact of Sin on Humanity 1:39:02 - Humorous Anecdotes 1:40:28 - Controversial Statements 1:41:00 - Preparing for Next Class 1:42:54 - Hollywood's Influence 1:48:31 - Science and Religion Relationship 1:50:23 - The Figure of Lilith Authentic Christianity is a channel dedicated to presenting just that: Authentic Christianity - the teaching of the earliest Christians - The Apostles and those who knew the apostles - the Apostlic chuch.
