  3. What is the short answer to the question, Did our first parents continue in the estate wherein they were created?
  4. What estate (state of being or condition) did Adam and Eve fall from and into?
  5. How is it that Adam and Eve could fall given their perfect, pure, innocent, and upright condition at the time of their creation?
