So Eve is the sinner.. And she dragged Adam into her sin? So does it mean women do owe men since from the start?

Eve ate and then gave it to Adam. If you study the account closely you will see that Eve and Adam, although they both sinned, they sinned out of different motives. Eve was truly deceived by Satan and ate fully convinced that what she was doing was the best thing to do. Adam took it knowing exactly what he was doing, he was not decieved, but realized that if he did not eat it he would lose the thing he had come to love the most, even more than God, Eve. It is through Adam that sin entered into the world.
By the way, it was not an apple and God never gave the command to Eve, it was only given to Adam, before Even was created.

This story is more interestng than who ate the apple first; it's the story of how human beings came to have self-awareness, and were separated from the animals from all time.

I don't think it's meant to suggest that God actually punished Adam and Eve, so much as Adam & Eve (all people, really) have awareness of the world that makes them responsible for their actions.

Eve was tricked by the serpant to eat the fruit first. When Eve didn't die instantly, Adam tried it. Part of the reason Eve was tricked was due to the fact that Eve was told not to eat or touch the fruit from Adam secondhand. God told Adam that the fruit couldn't be eaten and never said anything about touching it. When Eve touched the fruit and didn't die she thought that eating it must be OK

Oh, and the Bible only refers to the fruit as "fruit." It may not have been an apple at all.

Eve was first to eat of forbidden fruit,
then she persuaded Adam to take bite.

Both were guilty of disobedience to God,
thus sin was brought into the world, so as
punishment God banished the from the
Garden of Eden.

Firstly, Eve picked and ate after that she gave one to Adam. So both them ate. God punished because he told them not to eat.

If you read the "GIDEONS" version of the bible ADAM was enticed by EVE who in turn was enticed by SATAN(DEVIL, SERPENT, REALLY BAD DUDE) I made up ta couple of those names they aren't really in the bible, any way, they both ate this fruit that was a big taboo , no no, don't do it, I SAID NO, kinda deal. I just don't think that GOD was that petty. I think it had to have been something more vile than that. I think he was betrayed by the things he felt the strongest love for, man.

It's a nightmare out there. Is everyone out there from the Night of
the Living Dead?

A) We don't know that it was an apple. Nor did they "ate" it.
It could have been a pineapple and the Garden of Eden in Hawaii.

B) Well, if one gave it to the other, DUH, in that sense they obviously shared it.

C) Who is GOID? That makes your question null and VOID.

They both ate a different apple. So God punished them both.

Eve ate it, then told adam to eat one. God punished them because he told them no to do it.. and they did. They didnt trust him, or listen. So he punished them both.
