There is not difference of nature here. And in the same way that God knows Adam told the truth, he knows Eve told the truth, since he curses the snake. But should we conclude therefore that Eve (or Adam) have seperate sin natures. No i don’t think so.

Eve blames the serpent for deceiving her and rightly so and in turn God curses the serpent. On the other hand Adam blames God and the woman for what he did without justification and God turns right around blames Adam himself and curses the ground for what Adam did. Notice no one that Adam blames is cursed while who Eve blames IS cursed. You still haven’t even been able to establish from the text itself that Eve had the “sin nature” that Adam had. She was a sinner, but not a rebel.

Paul tells us in 2 Cor 11 of his fear that the Cor will be led astray in the same was as Eve was by the serpent. He is not excusing Eve of guilt. Do you think he would excuse sin, when he is so grafic about the nature of sin in other parts of the bible (Rom 1,3; Eph 2)
And in 1 Tim 2 Paul explicitly talks about the woman who was deceived and became a transgressor. Here Paul is explicit in teaching Eve was a transgressor. She is a sinner.

This does not establish that Eve had the “sin nature” that Adam had. In 1 Tim 2 v14 Paul isn’t talking about Eve like he was in v13. Do you see the name “Eve” in v14? Notice that in v14 Paul drops using her proper name since he’s switching back to talking about the false teacher or “a woman” of v11. Eve is a sinner yes, but not a rebel with the sin nature of Adam.

No where in scripture is Eve considered to have a sperate sin nature to Adam. She disobeyed God’s command. Acted the same was as Adam, was punished for her sin.

Eve wasn’t born of Adam so she does not inherit a sin nature. Sin comes into the world through Adam not Eve. No where does scripture teach that she was a rebel like Adam. They both sinned so they both died, but only one was a rebel.
