  • The Symbol of Faith:Sin, The Orthodox Faith (Orthodox Church of America)
• God still loved Adam and Eve even after their disobedience
  • "So, for example, concerning man’s mortality (Genesis 3:19), St. Gregory the Theologian states, “Yet here too He provides a benefit—namely death, which cuts off sin, so that evil may not be everlasting. Thus His punishment is changed into a mercy.” [Nelson, Thomas. The Orthodox Study Bible: Ancient Christianity Speaks to Today's World (p. 8)]
