HUMAN NATURE AND THE ANCESTRAL SIN

Summary/Abstract: Human nature was not left untouched pursuant to the ancestral sin, nor was it permanently compromised, but it merely fell ill by disease of damage. The sin of our forefathers is a failure in exercising the freedom which man received from God, a failure which shall lead to the diminishing of the divine grace in the subjective-human life environment, by alienation from God. God, however, in His fore-wisdom, left a door by which to enter our world so as to redeem human nature from the inside, for he cast his mercy upon seeing the tragedy in which man was attracted by the devil. Ignoring the truth on the weakening of human nature and the origin of death leads to a misconception on God and His relationship with man and the world, which threatens the unity of the Church, making man a victim of the subjective representations about God, the world and themselves. The renewal of human nature by grace offers its primordial authenticity, pursuant to an interior war, an asceticism, 2 so necessary due to the contradiction present in the human nature following the naturalization of the sin from outside by hosting it within ourselves.
