- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

Adam and Eve were not in perfect harmony with God before the Fall. They were given sanctifying grace and were in a state of original holiness and justice.

Additionally, they were not free from sickness and death as these consequences were a result of their disobedience. Therefore, the statement is false.

After the Fall, Adam and Eve were separated from God's friendship and grace, meaning they lost their close relationship with Him. They also became susceptible to sickness and death, which were consequences of their disobedience. Additionally, their free wills became inclined towards sin, making it easier for them to choose actions that went against God's will. This explanation supports the statement that the condition of Adam & Eve after the Fall included being deprived of God's friendship & grace, subject to sickness and death, and having a will inclined towards sin. Therefore, the correct answer is True.
