If indeed it can be proven that the statement cannot be positive and that this is “sin”, then the false prophet argument also holds true. But God also has consistently given us a second witness regarding sin. We have lots of evidence that Adam was a known sinner

Do we? We know Adam was a sinner in the garden but what second witness do we have that Adam sinned outside of the garden? I am only aware of the first witness of Genesis 3:16?

It has been claimed by some that turning toward her husband means turning away from God. In fact that seemed logical to me for a long time, but is this what the text says? Which part of the text mentions God? Which part of the text adds on that Eve would turn away from God? Is it possible that we have added this thought to what the actual text says? Or if the text really does say this, where does it say it?

I will grant you this (I only put it in to influence more to my side 🙂 ) but you did not answer my main question. Do you view Eve’s “desire” as a virtue?
