I found some interesting definitions of some of the theological concepts that arise from the Scripture readings for this session:
The Fall - The transition of the first humans from a state of innocent obedience to God, to a state of guilty disobedience to God.
Original Sin - The condition of sin that marks all humans as a result of Adam's first act of disobedience.
Sinful Nature of Man - The tendency for man to disobey God.
Free Will - The freedom to make choices to do good or evil.
Confession - The acknowledgement of sin.
Repentance - Implies sin, sorrow for it and a changed attitude towards God about it.

and my sin is ever before me.
Against you, you alone, have I sinned."

and my sin is ever before me.
Against you, you alone, have I sinned."
- Psalm 51:3-4
Video Segment 3 Summary (Sept 27, 2010 class)
Segment 3: The Rebel People
Presenter: William J. A. Power
The story of the temptation of Adam and Eve points out human vulnerability. Human beings are buck-passers, fearful and filled with guilt because we are not what we ought to be or could be. We trust ourselves rather than God and are isolated from God and others. Adam and Eve’s story tells us how much we need God.
