In the fruit was the image of the Exalted One. The light of this image was given to one of the evil princes, Saclas, who was the father of Adam and Eve. So Adam was made in the image of the Exalted One. Man has a body of matter which is evil. He also has two souls, one from God, which is good, the other from the land of darkness.
All sins are due to the evil soul.
So the Manichees made little of Easter, but exalted the feast of the Bema, the day on which Manes was killed. At the end will be a final conflagration. All evil plus whatever parts of God have not been liberated, will be bound in a globe of fire. So the greater victory never came. The Manichees attacked the OT, said misdeeds of some of the chief men proved the book was not of God.
