Mark answered:
“7. Now Eve is a sinner. Paul explains that as a sinner we are dead(eph 2:1) spiritually and physically.”

Mark,
We answer your questions – why don’t you answer ours?
Or maybe the question numbers are just mixed up there??
Why is it so difficult to understand that Eve is not Adam’s child who inherited his sin nature?

The promised Savior was “her Seed” (Gen.3:15). Not Adam’s seed, but Eve’s – “her Seed.”

“For just as through the disobedience of the one man many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one Man, many will be made righteous.” Rom.5:19
Surely, you don’t claim both that through Adam sin came into the world and also through Adam we are made righteous, do you??
