The basic idea that is since the fall of Adam and Eve in the garden, mankind's nature is so corrupted that it affects our total being. This does not mean that we can never do any good thing, or that we can only do bad things, or that we in general, nor anyone in particular, is as bad as they can be. It means that our conscience is so corrupted, that it cannot be relied upon to make sound judgements about good and evil, nor can it be counted upon to care. It means that we will not (left to our own devices) truly seek God and that even when we do good, there are mixed motives. The important thing about it, is understanding that we lack enough merit to accomplish salvation, salvation requires God's action working in us, salvation comes from God alone.

There is a teaching being repeated among some groups in my city to the effect that there are places in our cities, regions, country, and in the world in general, that constitute "unholy ground". The premise is that occupying and walking in these places can be the source of a variety of afflictions among the uninitiated and unwary. Upon such people being discerned by those claiming to be gifted experts as being contaminated in this way, they are then exhorted to avail themselves of those considered to be deliverance experts, often one and the same, who will set them free and bring about their healing if the afflictions are physical. Apparently in my country one of the main examples of so-called "unholy ground" is wherever the early Maori inhabitants engaged in bloody conflict, both among themselves and with the early settlers. I have searched the Scriptures on this and have an opinion on the aforementioned teaching and practices in play, but I would like others to put forward their opinions before I post more on the matter.
