Didn't Adam and Eve both sin?

[UsagiTsukino]

One thing I keep hearing is Eve is responsible for the sin in the world. Adam blamed her. But I was taught both of themselves sinned

[Jac3510]

Actually, Adam "is responsible for the sin in the world," not Eve.

[UsagiTsukino]

Well in the new testament it seems both are responsible

[UsagiTsukino]

The snake was talking to both adam and eve since he was with her.

[Jac3510]

The snake was talking to both adam and eve since he was with her.

You can't draw that conclusion. "With" doesn't necessarily mean "in the physical proximity of." The word can certainly mean that, but it also has the idea fellowship or companionship in general. Cf Gen 3:12. And the NT does not make both responsible. Cf Rom 5:12 for but one example.

[PaulSacramento]

Some view that the reason Adam is (primarily? solely?) responsible was because while Eve was deceived by a "divine being" ( according to some), Adam simply did what Eve told him to do, like a little "p***y-whipped" pansy.

[crochet1949]

Looking at Genesis 3 -- the serpent was talking with Eve in vs 6 and she ate of the fruit and then vs 7 she gave some to Adam and then he ate and then their eyes were opened. They faced God together for their sin. Listening to the serpent instead of believing God.
