	The Fall of Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the "Fall" is not mentioned by name in the Old Testament, the expulsion from Eden is recorded in Genesis 3, and served as the foundation of the Christian teachings of Saint Paul in Romans 5:12–19 and 1 Corinthians 15:21–22, and, in particular, the Christian doctrine of original sin.
		The fall refers to the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, as recorded in the biblical book of Genesis, and the consequences of that expulsion.
		Catholicism holds that man is born in original sin, but retains some degree of free will, so as to be morally responsible for his sin, and dependent on both divine grace and works for salvation.

	Encyclopedia Barfieldiana: Fall of Man

		Lucifer induced man to begin hiding and hoarding his inner life, and to take pride in it--as a 'room of one's own"--making it into something separate and detached alike from its own outward manifestation (nature) and the inner world of spirit-beings.

	Original sin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Not only do individuals inherit a sinful nature due to Adam's fall, but since he was the federal head and representative of the human race, all whom he represented inherit the guilt of his sin by imputation.

		Because man was created in the image of God: Because he is not mere matter, a clod of earth, a lump of clay, without sense or understanding; but a spirit like his Creator, a being endued not only with sense and understanding, but also with a will exerting itself in various affections.

		I mistake, and possibly cannot avoid mistaking the character of this or that man. I suppose him to be what be is not; to be better or worse than he really is. Upon this wrong supposition I behave wrong to him; that is, more or less affectionately than he deserves.
