All Human Nature

Core tenets that state what a human being fundamentally is: whether inherently sinful, inherently good, possessed of a soul, subject to rebirth, or defined by free will versus predestination. This includes tenets on original sin, the existence and nature of the soul, the image of the divine in humanity, and doctrines of predestination or free will. A tenet about what becomes of that nature after death, such as judgment or rebirth itself, belongs instead under sacred history; here the tenet's own subject is the nature itself, not its ultimate fate.
