A common theology among the world's Christian churches is called the fall of man. This teaching denotes, in part, that man has an immortal soul. In the Garden of Eden, this teaching shows that Satan was able to put God on the defensive and to change His plans. But what does the Bible say about who and what man is? Is he immortal and did Adam & Eve commit the original sin?
