Also the thought that Eve got it wrong comes from the teaching that Adam was the one who instructed Eve.  Because of the teaching that Eve got God’s commands second hand, we can then assume that she got the message wrong.  Once we understand that God spoke to the woman directly and instructed her directly on what she could eat and what she did not have permission to eat, we can believe her when she gives God’s additional commands to them.  Eve’s testimony is that God gave additional instructions to both of them regarding not testing (touching) this one fruit.  How could she get this wrong?  Either God said it or he didn’t.  If he didn’t then she lied.  Why would God create a liar to help Adam?  This doesn’t make sense.

Another thing that we need to remember is that women like detail while men like the bottom line.  God gave the bottom line to Adam when he was alone and when Eve was there with him, God gave the details.  A woman is unlikely to get the details wrong because we are sticklers for detail.  Eve was the first woman just like other women but made perfect without sin.  To even think that she got the details wrong is….well….it’s thinking like a man.  Women know how we have been created to be detail people and we can recite details until the cows come home.  Eve did not get the details wrong at all.  She was deceived but she wasn’t senseless, unintelligent, an imbecile, a ditzy blond or dimwitted.  She was an intelligent, bright and useful mate for Adam.  Was she mistaken?  There is not an iota of evidence to base that on.  If I have missed a detail 😉 please let me know.
