Unit Title: Old World and Patriarchs: Genesis Part II
Standards / Benchmarks:
What are the standards and benchmarks to be addressed?
teach that man is predestined to reproduce the image of God's Son made man, the "image of the invisible God."(381)
explain that "Man, though made of body and soul, is a unity." The doctrine of the faith affirms that the spiritual and immortal soul is created
immediately by God. (382)
teach that "God did not create man a solitary being. From the beginning, ‘male and female he created them.' This partnership of man and woman
constitutes the first form of communion between persons."(383)
teach that "Although set by God in a state of rectitude, man, enticed by the evil one, abused his freedom at the very start of history. He lifted
himself up against God and sought to attain his goal apart from him."(415)
explain that Adam and Eve transmitted to their descendants human nature wounded by their own first sin and hence deprived of original holiness
and justice; this deprivation is called "original sin."(417)
teach that as a result of original sin, human nature is weakened in its powers; subject to ignorance, suffering, and the domination of death; and
inclined to sin.(418)
teach that "Original sin is transmitted with human nature, ‘by propagation, not by imitation,' and that it is . . . ‘proper to each.'"(419)
