 After Apollinarianism was condemned at Constantinople in A.D. 381, another heresy tarnished the Pauline distinction of soul and spirit.The Semipelagians, after Pelagius, used the distinction to teach that "the spirit is excepted from the original sin which affected the body and soul"  and that therefore, human nature is essentially good and retains genuine freedom in the will to initiate salvation.Contrary to Pelagius' view of human nature, Augustine taught that, because of original sin, the human nature we receive at birth has been "wounded, hurt, damaged, destroyed"  and that, therefore, man is incapable of doing or desiring good apart from the sovereignty of grace.
