Original sin, also called ancestral
sin, is the Christian doctrine of humanity's state of sin resulting from the fall of
man,
stemming from Adam and
Eve's
rebellion in Eden, namely the sin of
disobedience in consuming from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This condition has been
characterized in many ways, ranging from something as insignificant as a slight
deficiency, or a tendency toward sin yet without collective guilt, referred
to as a "sin nature", to something as
drastic as total
depravity or automatic guilt of all
humans through collective guilt.

Adam and Eve, according to the creation myth of the Abrahamic
religions, were the first man and woman and the
ancestors of all humans. The
story of Adam and Eve is central to the belief that God created human beings to
live in a paradise on earth, although they fell away from that state and
formed the present world full of suffering and injustice. It provides the
basis for the belief that humanity is in essence a single family, with
everyone descended from a single pair of original ancestors. It also provides much of the scriptural
basis for the doctrines of the fall of man and original sin that are important beliefs in Christianity, but which are not generally held in Judaism or Islam.

Forbidden fruit is a phrase that originates from Genesis concerning Adam and
Eve in Genesis 2:16–17. In the narrative, Adam
and Eve ate the fruit of good and evil in the Garden of
Eden, which
they had been commanded not to do by God. As a metaphor, the
phrase typically refers to any indulgence or pleasure that is considered illegal or
immoral.

The Lord's Prayer (also called the Our Father or Pater Noster among
other names) is a venerated Christian prayer that, according to the New
Testament, was taught by Jesus to his disciples. Two versions of it are recorded: a
longer form in the Gospel of Matthew as part of the Sermon on the Mount, and a shorter form in the Gospel of
Luke as a response by Jesus to a request by
"one of his disciples" to teach them "to pray as John taught his disciples." The context of the prayer in
Matthew is a discourse deploring people who pray ostentatiously.

The Book of Revelation, often called the Revelation to John, the Apocalypse of John, The Revelation, or simply Revelation or Apocalypse, is a book of the New Testament that occupies a central place in Christian eschatology. Its title is derived from the first word of the text, written in Koine Greek: apokalypsis, meaning
"unveiling" or "revelation". The Book of Revelation is
the only apocalyptic document in the New Testament canon (although there are short apocalyptic passages in various
places in the Gospels and the Epistles).

Job is the central figure of the Book of Job in the Bible. Job is a prophet in the Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In rabbinical literature, Iyov is called one of the prophets of the Gentiles.
Job is presented as a good and prosperous
family man who is beset with
horrendous disasters that take away all that he holds dear, including his
offspring, his health, and his property. He struggles to understand his
situation and begins a search for the answers to his difficulties.
