Mark,

You wrote: “Is sin not precisely a rebelilon against a Holy God. She 100% DID have a rebelious nature. If she didn’t then she wouldn’t have been a sinner. Even if you want to claim she didn’t rebel before the fall, it is very incosistent with the nature of sin to claim that as a sinner she was not rebellious.”

Again, as a concrete example: a little girl who is deceived into sexual favors by a man promising candy and toys will still feel “dirty” when the deed is done.

She is not acting out of rebellion, but in deception. Is she?

Mark wrote: “They both made clothes to cover BOTH their shame. They both hid in the garden. Nothing in this makes poor little Eve sound ’shell shocked’. SO therefore it is most dinately NOT fitting to come to this conclusion why God spoke to Adam first. This comes dangerously close to saying that Eve didn’t infact sin. There is nothing innocent about sin.”

Sinning by deception WILL make one want to cover “shame” with clothes and hide in the garden.

Although outwardly, we see no differance between suffering the affects of sin by deception or by rebellion, there is difference between the two.
