fall of man

     

In Christianity, the Fall of Man, or simply the Fall, is believe to refer to the transition of the first humans from a state of innocent obedience to God to a state of guilty disobedience to God. In the creation myths of Christianity, the first humans, Adam and Eve, live at first with God in a paradise, but are then deceived or tempted by another creature to eat fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil from which God had forbidden them to eat. After doing so, they become ashamed of their nakedness and God consequently expels them from paradise. The Fall is not mentioned by name in the Bible, but the story of disobedience and expulsion is recounted in both Testaments in different ways.
