       Even after the fall, and though the world is under the curse until the future, it is still good. God created it good, and it is still our responsibility as humans to take care of it and manage it. But what we need to understand is that Satan presents other gospels, and even other forms of beliefs, by which people can live by. And many people, including Christians, are carried along by these beliefs. Perhaps more common in our times (which was also present in the early church fathers as they are called—even later to John Calvin), and really dare this even be discussed, is the thought-process among Christians of the Perpetual Virginity of Mary, the mother of God, the mother of Jesus. This is the idea, or belief, that Jesus’ earthly mother Mary remained a virgin even after she had Jesus. It is believed to be unholy and disrespectful to think, among Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic believers, that Mary was not a virgin her whole life.
