Exodus From Eden
The role of who caused the fall of humanity to sin has always seemed pointless to me. Humanity fell together. I have heard so many arguments that Eve had sinned first. No, others countered, Adam had failed Eve. This seems more like people are trying to shift the blame to me. Eve had sinned by being deceived by the serpent and eating the forbidden fruit. Adam had sinned by not using discernment to question Eve as to the origin of the fruit and consuming it. The issue of who sinned first is hardly the point as they were both kicked out of the garden together. This to me represents their mutual guilt and their need to work together in order to survive. If they had worked together in the Garden of Eden this event may never have occured.
