THE FALL OF MAN AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF ORIGINAL SIN IN THE VISION OF APOSTLE PAUL
Abstract
The world was created very good (Genesis 1: 31), since it no evil affected its existence, reality due to God alone, who wanted that world to be a place of communion between Himself and human being. Perfection heavenly of man gave it the opportunity to join with God, because in his nature were present all virtues as natural attributes of his primordial nature. The problem of human being constitutes focus of theologians and scientists who exhibit an intense concern about the human constitution to determine the status of right or wrong. St. Paul helping us to understand the man in all extensive value, relating it to Christ, creating a stream of new life in Holy Spirit. Pauline theology evokes the human the quality of crown of the creation of God, drawing the antagonistic report which arises between the ideal of deification and its inclination toward sin inherited from ancestors. Through misuse of freedom, man disregards the word of God by choosing evil instead of the good and therefore the human nature was subjugated by sin, it becomes a reality that reflects organically over entire creation. The sin arises from human cohabitation with temptation and after that act is observing the protest of what left good against the bad condition that manifests destructively to man, who became weak without having the opportunity to cure and to fight against the sin. In our research, we wish to emphasize the gravity of human mistake, through the separation from God in order to self-deify autonomously by Creator, his consequences of original sin, which are reflected upon the human nature. In this setting we appealing to the Pauline vision about transformation of human wreck damaged by sin in a new man, because everyone needs to know again God and become new creature to live forever in Christ.
