suggests that Eve’s disobedience to God introduced sin ...
Adam was in authority, Eve was deceived.
It was Adam who 'introduced sin'.
(He should have obeyed God, not Eve. )

Well said.

_____________________________________________

But wrong. Man wasn't given the authority to rule until after the Fall (See Gen 3). It was part of the judgment on Adam and Eve for their sin.

In addition, the apostle Paul was inpsired by the Holy Spirit to state who God thought was responsible for introducing sin:

1 Timothy 2:14 "And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

It's unecssary and presumptuous to sugarcoat the Word for modern sensitivities.
