In the Bible does it say that Eve was tricked into eating the forbidden fruit by the serpent (the devil)? God banished her from the Garden of Eden as punishment - I can't quite remember how the story went but I remember learning about it when I was younger and feeling that it was totally unfair that Eve was punished for making a mistake that she was tricked into by evil.
I know it's all about not giving into temptation and I'm not trying to question God's jugdement - that's just how I felt as a kid. I realise now that Eve was made to take responsibilty for her actions regardless of why she did it.
Did God forgive Eve for this? Was there anything she could have done to totally redeem herself?

No. Eve was created a perfect woman. She did not have the excuse of imperfection we have. We inherited imperfection from Adam and Eve after they sinned as something perfect cannot be made from something imperfect. What made her sin all the more reprehensible was that she convinced Adam to join her in rebellion against God. She should have discussed it with her husband but instead went ahead on her own ignoring his headship and direction. Adam is no less guilty however. They both knew that if they ate the fruit or even touched the tree, they would be liable to death. By testing God in this way, they were totally out of line and paid the price for their folly.

God obviously forgave Eve for this. The mere fact that we are still alive shows that she was forgiven and her husband Adam. The world is now just a little taste of what Eden was. Adam was also meant to pay the price the whole of humanity. In Genesis 2:17 the Lord told them not to eat of the Tree of Good and Evil for in the day that they ate of eat that they would surely die. They were suppose to die immediately as soon as Adam sinned and yielded to the temptation. But the great thing was the plan of redemption came into play. When Adam sinned Christ immediately took on all for this human race. Adam represented all of humanity he was the first Adam and he sinned and sold us out but the second Adam Christ by his perfect obedience died for us and reedemed us. In Christ there is no male nor female and he is neither respector of persons. Galatians 3: 26-29; Acts 10:34
Romans 2:11. Even though the whole world was under condemnation Eve could have gone unto God for forgiveness and God would have answered her immediately. Now you tell me which you think is fair Adam and Eve disobeying God and sinning and then still not die or Christ who was sinless came and lived a perfect life and then took on all of our sins who knew no sin and died for us a shameful death. Galatians 3:13, 2 Cor 2:21, Romans 5:12-end

Eve and Adam both were because they disobeyed God and that was the only rural God gave them, Yes evil tempted them the same way there is temptation today.The bible is telling you there is a price for sin. After Jesus came he paid that price for us.
But the price of sin can be carried for many generations.
No i don't think there was anything they could have done, they had no knowledge of sin before that. That was the tree of knowledge.

i believe he forgave her thats why he gave us free will but i dont think she could have redeemed herself-if someone gave you paradise and asked only one simple thing from you and you falter do u think u should be given a second chance-the answer is no-you cant have your cake and eat it too

Hey that's why women have periods.
See Eve was only a metaphor for menstrual cycles.

yes she was kicked out forever... and if god ever forgave her for it.. well you would have to ask god about that.... and according to the bible she COULD have redeemed herself if she confessed her sins and repent.
