“You don't even believe in original sin so it is deceitfulfor you to suggest that Paul in the latter verse is attributing it to Eve. Everyone noticed your running away. Genesis and Paul were in accord with eachother. Paul does not suggest Eve wasresponsible for the Original sin. He says Eve was deceived. Adam is responsible.’
You comically stated that “He says Eve was deceived. Adam is responsible." Huh? Read the passages below, therefore how can Adam be responsible subsequent to EVE eating the forbidden fruit FIRST AND FORMOST in initiating the original sin!
Yes let me repeat myself. Obviously you are having trouble grasping what I am saying. Paul tells us that sin entered through one man - Adam. Now so far you have not denied this doctrine although you clearly do not believe it, thus denying the WORD of God. I have no issue with Eve eating the fruit first. Can you show anywhere where what she did is called sin? Or will you just assume it? For the record I think it was sin - but not the original sin. Hence she cannot be responsible for the original sin.
1. Who ate the forbidden fruit FIRST before Adam did, therefore initiating the original sin FIRST? Correct, it was EVE as the transgressor“"When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.” ( Genesis 3:6))
I don't have an issue with Eve eating first. But where is it called sin? Did Eve transgress the covenant of works? Absolutely. But is it called sin? And is what she did "the original sin". I say no. Adam committed the original sin.
2. Who agreed that EVE ate the forbidden fruit FIRST and then gave it to Adam? Correct, it was Jesus with His inspired word!“To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ (Genesis 3:17)
Again I have no issue with agreeing that Eve ate the forbidden fruit first and that she gave it to Adam. But is it called sin? Or are you just making it up as you go along? I know you really need it to be sin - but is it ever called sin?
3. Who agreed that Adam was not deceived, but EVE was the FIRST to be deceived and transgress in initiating the original sin? Correct, it was Timothy!“And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.” (1 Timothy 2:14)
Boring. Paul told Timothy that Adam was not deceived but Eve did. She transgressed. But is it ever called sin? And was what she did the original sin? I say no. Why? Because Adam was the head of the home. And if Adam had acted like a man - he would have told her to repent of her sin - and beg for forgiveness from God. She would have died - and sin would not have been passed on from generation to generation. Adam was the covenant representative of the family. It was when the head of the family sinned - it became original sin. Again - I ask you - explain the difference between sin and sins. Your ignorance and avoidance of this question is making you look like a bigger fool than you need to be.
4. Who agreed with the aforementioned passages that EVE was the FIRST to sin, therefore being the originator of original sin? Correct, it was Paul!“But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.” ( 2 Corinthians 11:3)
The verse does not say that Eve sinned first. It says she was deceived and ate the fruit first. She was led astray and I agree it was into sin - but it was not original sin. Again you have no clue. Until you can distinguish between sin and sins - you live in ignorance. Have you heard of the word covenant?
