Cheryl,

As i prepare the question 2 answer, can you confirm some things for me about your view so that i dont assume the wrong thing. I have tried to remember things you have said previously.
1. The definate article of 3:22-24 excludes Eve?
2. Eve was decieved but Adam sinned wilfully. Therefore they have different sin natures
3. Eve was not a threat to the tree of life
4. Eve did leave the garden, but not becasue she was banished. She left becasue of her ‘desire for her husband’ (Gen 3:16)
5. Gen 3:1-5. Eve is quoting what God told her. That is, she was given the prohibition by herself from God, therefore she has not misquoted God and Adam did not pass on the prohibition.

Thanks and correct anything where it is not what you believe the bible teaches.
