That’s actually contrary to what scripture says. Sin entered the world when Eve chose to disobey God and eat of the apple.

You're wrong.

Read and learn...

Genesis 3:3-7 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” 4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.

Romans 5:12 12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin,

Romans 5:17-19 17 For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. 18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. 19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.

I know Catholics like to say that sin came through Eve so that Mary can be lifted up as the redeemer, that she rectifies Eve's sin just as Scripture says Jesus did for Adam's, that is NOT what Scripture says. It does not say that sin entered the world through Eve.

Here's a link to the rest of Romans 5 which addresses it.

Pssttt.... The Bible doesn't say it was an apple, either. Another myth people have been duped into believing. Your ignorance of correct Scriptural teaching is showing again.

“You’re wrong.”

No, you’re wrong here. I’m sorry. Are you saying that Eve did not disobey God?

Are you saying it wasn’t sin when she disobeyed God and then ate of the fruit of the tree of life?
