Eve's sinless nature at birth is certainly offset by her participation in the first sinful act, and her sinful nature thereafter. How then would she, in her fallen state, be blessed at all?

Was Eve being created without sin a blessing?

Is it better to be with sin than without sin?

It's ridiculous to even ask the question, yet that is what your arguments imply.

God created Eve out of nothing, in a perfectly sinless state. How is that not a blessing?

No. It was par for the course at the time.

Is it better to be with sin than without sin?

Well, of course not. But Eve was not without sin.

How so? It is kind of like our nominee in this election- Many would call McCain a hero based upon what he once was. But that is silly. One is only a hero as long as one remains heroic. One cannot be a traitor and a hero at the same time.

It is incidental, It was the state of all mankind at the time (granted, only two of them)- Had not the Fall of Man occurred, every one of us would be in that state even now.

How can Eve be blessed when she and her old man are responsible for every single cursed thing upon this earth? It is silly to even consider.

“God created Eve out of nothing, in a perfectly sinless state. How is that not a blessing?”

Sorry chief - Scripture shows that Eve was created from someone (Adam) God had already created, who was, in turn, created from something (dirt) God had already created.

Genesis 2:

7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
