English term or phrase: we fell from God
Original sin has become co-natural to us. A man by nature cannot but sin; though there were no devil to tempt, no bad examples to imitate, yet there is such an innate principle in him that he cannot forbear sinning. 2 Pet 2:14. A peccato cessare nesciunt, who cannot cease to sin, as a horse that is lame cannot go without halting. In original sin there is,
(1.) An aversion from good. Man has a desire to be happy, yet opposes that which should promote his happiness. He has a disgust of holiness, he hates to be reformed. Since ***we fell from God***, we have no mind to return to him.
(2.) A propensity to evil. If, as the Pelagians say, there is so much goodness in us since the fall, why is there not as much natural proneness to good as there is to evil? Our experience tells us, that the natural bias of the soul is to that which is bad.

we fell from god
caímos del lado de Nuestro Señor


Explanation:
Hello! I think this alludes to Satan, who was a beautiful angel and fell from God's side because he wanted to be as important as God. In general, humankind is more bad than good, which means that we come from evil as well as from goodness...
That's my point of view, but let's wait for somebody else's.
Regards!
