The Truth about the fall
What does it really mean to say that humanity has a "fallen nature"? Is this just Western theological baggage — or is it deeply rooted in Orthodox tradition? In this video, we explore how the Orthodox Church understands the language of the "Fall" — not as a doctrine of total depravity, but as a profound spiritual condition described throughout the Fathers, liturgical texts, and scripture. Discover why Orthodox theology still uses terms like "fallen man," and how fasting, almsgiving, and true repentance are tools for healing, not punishment.
