Eve was “not guilty”

Yeah, well he was with her and watching the whole thing.
He could have manned up, as was his responsibility, and stopped it, and he didn't.
He was willing to watch her eat and let her take the risk before he took a bite.
What a hero, willing to sacrifice his wife.
Eve....”Come here, come here, come here..
No...get away, get away, get away”
Um, actually, it is.
Genesis 3:1-7 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
LOL!

[ Why is Original Sin called the “Sin of Adam,” not the Sin of Adam and Eve?
Because Adam knowingly sinned. ]
Eve was a child (mentally, many women are mental children when it comes to morality questions), she had no clue or knowledge about what she was about to do and it’s long term implications.
Adam as the head of household ( and mental adult ) had to be the responsible one and he FAILED!
[ 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. ]
Women always get off scoff free compared to men, always, it has always been this way, it will always be this way.
Because no matter what the feminists claim to say, the equation of equality breaks down when responsibility is handed out...
“Because you never do a crime with a chick.”
The road goes on forever and the party never ends.
The explanation I heard and liked was that Adam said “that woman whom YOU made gave me the apple, so I ate it.” In other words, Adam was throwing the blame back on God, for having put Eve in his life. Eve was wrong, but Adam’s attitude was what really ticked off God.
God gave Adam not eve the responsibility
