Editing Concupiscence (section)

==Pelagius==
{{unreferenced section|date=September 2016}}
The main opposition came from a monk named [[Pelagius]] (354–420 or 440). His views became known as [[Pelagianism]]. Although the writings of Pelagius are no longer extant, the eight canons of the [[Council of Carthage (418)]] provided corrections to the perceived errors of the early Pelagians. From these corrections, there is a strong similarity between Pelagians and their Jewish counterparts on the concepts of concupiscence. Pelagianism gives mankind the ability to choose between good and evil within their created nature. While rejecting concupiscence, and embracing a concept similar to the ''yetzer hara'', these views rejected humanity's universal need for [[Grace in Christianity|grace]].
