IV. THE CREATION AND FALL Discussion Aids Is the difficult road of life that we travel today the first road God had laid down for us? What happened to the first road God had made for the human race? How are we all related to the first man, Adam? What two great gifts (among others) did God give to Adam? Study and discuss this point carefully. What happened to God’s first plan for the human race? Discuss especially the supernatural life in relation to the disaster of the fall of man. Discuss the nature of the disaster and the part played in it by a fallen angel. What was Adam’s condition (and the condition therefore of the human race) after his disobedience in his natural life? In his supernatural life? Discuss the consequences of Adam’s sin to the human race. Define Original Sin. Define the Immaculate Conception. Trace carefully the fate of God’s revelation in the hands of the Chosen People. Why Limbo? Under what other names is Limbo known? Did God make a second road by which the human race might reach heaven? Compare it with the first. Practice: Consider the social solidarity of the human family and the effect upon it for weal or woe of every act of your own. 155
