Mark,

Well so far the internet is holding up so I will try to get through a bit of your points.

Cheryl has said that Eve was ‘deceived’ and Adam sinned ‘wilfully’ (I agree), but Cheryl’s conclusion therefore is that she was no longer a threat to the tree of life.

My conclusion is because the woman did not sin with willful rebellion. Do you agree with me on this? If she did not sin with willful rebellion and she was no longer deceived so she now knows the truth, and God never questions a rebellious action on her behalf, then we have no piece of evidence that the woman would be a threat to the tree of life by rebellion on her behalf. You would have to assume that she had a sin nature of rebellion as Adam had to think this way. I am just going through your comments, so forgive me if you already answered this, but I would like to see specific arguments from the text that show that Eve has a rebellious sin nature.
