Why is Original Sin called the “Sin of Adam,” not the Sin of Adam and Eve?

[Salvation]

Hence, original sin is called the “Sin of Adam” because as head of the household he bore ultimate responsibility for what took place. When God was looking for them after they had sinned, He did not say, “Adam and Eve, where are you?” He said, “Adam, where are you?” (Gen 3:9) Eve was not without blame, but God called on Adam to render an account. Adam had headship and, in this sense, the first sin is fittingly called the “Sin of Adam.”

Monsignor Pope Ping!

[Ezekiel]

Every man on Free Republic knows the answer to that one.

Eve was “not guilty”.

Why is Original Sin called the “Sin of Adam,” not the Sin of Adam and Eve?

Because Adam knowingly sinned.

[savedbygrace]

God commanded Adam concerning that tree before He created Eve.

Genesis 2:15-17: And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

[NorthMountain]

some of them somewhat politically incorrect.

To Hell with political correctness.

[grobdriver]

Because the guy always gets the blame.

[MrEdd]

Eve was decieved.
Adam was not, yet he joined Eve anyway.
One shouldn’t ever leave that factor out nor even minimize it when contemplating this question.

[DesertRhino]

Because you never do a crime with a chick. She always turns states evidence to get the deal, and you’ll get the chair.
This is why they don’t let ‘em in the mafia either.

[DesertRhino]

Again, SHE was deceived by a talking snake, the poor little innocent waif. But Adam -wasn’t- deceived by a naked woman he trusted. Got it.

[MrEdd]

Adam trusted God.
Yet sinned.
Pretending he was decieved minimizes that sin.
It important to recognise the difference.

The Bible tells us Eve was decieved because it is an important element.
No place does it ever indicate Adam was decieved.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I have a more mundane theory. Ancient scribes probably didn’t have allot of scrolls handy so they may have omitted some words to save space, ink, and writer’s cramps.

[Flaming Conservative]

Because he got smart with God, and not only tried to blame Eve, he tried to blame God: “The woman YOU gave me to me, SHE gave me the fruit, and I did eat” (emphasis mine).

[Celerity]

A friend of mine, a complete beta cuck, argues with me that his wife is an equal bill-paying, supporting partner in everything. She boldly proclaims that she pays everything down the middle, and he must divide child care throughout the day - even at the risk of his own work hours.

They both struggle to get by. I mean, daycare and part-time jobs don’t allow great expenses.

Either way I posed a single question that makes the house of cards come down: When they get evicted, who is she going to text to her friends that is to blame ? Yup. “Lose that zero and get yoself a hero”

[Salvation]

But Adam was complicit in the sin by not protecting his wife from the devil (serpent.)

[sparklite2]

Because it’s always the guy’s fault.

[MrEdd]

Never at any point in scripture is it stated that Adam was present.

God gave Adam work to do. He wasn’t a stay at home pajama boy.
Your equivocation relies upon taking Adams present when Satan presented his speil as a given. It is not a given, and it is contradictory to what little we know about Adam’s work in the garden to just assume it.

[MrEdd]

Presence, not present

[Mom MD]

Eve was deceived Adam sinned knowingly

[metmom]

Adam was responsible as the head of the family.

If God holds him accountable for his wife’s actions, then he’s accountable and that’s all there is too it.
