Marg (14),
I think I just met another Gnostic! In her book By Design (1994, 1998) comp author Susan Hunt says that Eve “willfully yielded to the tempter’s lie” (p. 26). Doesn’t sound much like deception, does it? More like deliberate, willful sin. And Adam was “influenced” and “his helper became his hinderer.” And there we are, right back saying that it was all Eve’s fault. Adam couldn’t help himself; she “influenced” him to eat. And Eve, well, she “willfully” believed Satan.
