Did Adam and Eve fall from a state of moral or spiritual perfection? Was the sin they committed inherited by all mankind from birth? What does the Bible say about “The Fall of Man?”
02 - The Immortal Soul
Does man have an immortal soul? Does that soul immediately depart from the body at death and waft its way to heaven? What does the Bible say about the soul? How can Ezekiel 18:4 that says “the soul that sinneth it shall die” be explained?

The gospel is more than a message about Jesus Christ.
