“In Their Own Carnal State”
In their Edenic state, the bodies of Adam and Eve-though physical-were incorruptible, immortal, and free from all taint of sin. With the Fall came the potential for consuming lusts of the flesh, the birth of carnal man-which many of their children became. The carnal man is one who has yielded to the loud and vulgar inclinations to gratify the flesh, as opposed to the quiet enticements of the Holy Spirit to put off the natural man and put on Christ.
