I am worried about the theology that Eve was just ‘decieved’ and Adam deliberately sinned. They both deliberately sinned!”
Eve said she was deceived and Paul in 1 Tim. Agrees that she was deceived. She was deceived and fell into sin. This is different from Adam who was not deceived and deliberately with full awareness (not deceived) choose to sin. You cannot really get around that one. There is a Scripture I think in Hosea, which says that Adam dealt treacherously with God. However, it does not matter how we come to sin, we will still reap the fruit of it if we sin, which is death.
As for them being banished from the garden, I do think they both needed to leave as it would be dangerous for either one of them to eat from the tree of life in their sinful condition. Perhaps, God knew that the woman would follow him. I don’t know. But it does say that the man was banished and says nothing about Eve.
