Cheryl, in relation to comment 49.

I am glad that you have corrected where I misrepresented you. Continue to do so, if I am wrong.

“My conclusion is because the woman did not sin with willful rebellion. Do you agree with me on this”

I agree that she was deceived, however I disagree that it wasn’t rebellion. God gave a law, Eve did not obey it. This to me equals rebellion.

“she now knows the truth”

What truth? She responds to her sin exactly the same as Adam (hides, makes covering, blames someone else for her sin). That is they have the same response. Is this not the same nature of sin. Do you believe that Eve sinned once, but was then sinless again or perfect again?

“but I would like to see specific arguments from the text that show that Eve has a rebellious sin nature.”

Did she or did she not disobey God’s prohibition?(3:6) This is sin. Now after her sin, did she react any differently to Adam who also sinned? This is the same nature, rebellion to God. Pretty good scriptural evidence I would think. How do you reconcile the way Eve behaves after her sin?
