If it wasn't for you I would be lay on a hammock in the garden of Eden eating grapes. Do you ever feel guilty about this?

U still in the middle ages?? And if Eve was never there you would not be born btw. And poor adam would be stuck with Han Solo. God gave humans free will and eve used it to take the apple from the tree and adam used it to get thrown out of the garden of eden. It is both adam and eve`s fault. And why should women feel guilty its not like any of them asked adam to eat the fruit. EVE DID AND ADAM TOOK IT. All men should feel guilty too.

Nope i don't feel guilty..Adam was the only one given the command not to eat the fruit of that tree (before Eve was created) and Adam was there when the serpent tempted her. He was commanded by God to teach and protect her but he obviously didn't do a great job! They both did wrong, they both disobeyed God and they were both punished accordingly.
God bless

I can't eat apples got no teeth and me falsies don't fit - and if I was Eve I would have hidden the apples just to be mean so there Mr Smarty Pants and I still wouldn't expect women to feel guilty, nanananana! Now can we all get out of the playground?

Why should i feel guilty - i wasn't there....
unlike Adam who blamed Eve - in Gen 3:12 -
" The woman whom you gave to be with me - she gave me the fruit from the tree and i ate"
they both made the choice to eat...
Eve was the one who exposed the first evil in verse 13 - satan deceived her - and women have been paying the price ever since in many ways.

What Mima said is wrong--Muslim women are allowed in Mosques.
Original sin is not a belief of Muslims.
Both Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit and both were blamed for their own actions. They both repented and asked for Allah's forgiveness. Adam never blamed Eve, and Allah did not either. They were both responsible for their own actions.
_"O Adam dwell with your wife in the Garden and enjoy as you wish but approach not this tree or you run into harm and transgression. Then Satan whispered to them in order to reveal to them their shame that was hidden from them and he said: 'Your Lord only forbade you this tree lest you become angels or such beings as live forever.' And he swore to them both that he was their sincere adviser. So by deceit he brought them to their fall: when they tasted the tree their shame became manifest to them and they began to sew together the leaves of the Garden over their bodies. And their Lord called unto them: 'Did I not forbid you that tree and tell you that Satan was your avowed enemy?' They said: 'Our Lord we have wronged our own souls and if You forgive us not and bestow not upon us Your Mercy, we shall certainly be lost' " (7:19:23).
And we do not inherit sins, and we did not inherit sin from Adam and Eve:
Say: "Shall I seek a lord other than Allah, while He is the Lord of all things? No person earns any (sin) except against himself (only), and no bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another. Then unto your Lord is your return, so He will tell you that wherein you have been differing."(6:164)
so no, we women have nothing to feel guilty about!

There is no relationship between a church and a mosque other than it being a place of worship. Women are allowed in churches, whereas women aren't allowed in a mosque (Islamic Law). Christian and Islamic teachings are very different.
And no, I never feel guilty because women are the creators of men!!!

Your question is a good one (though maybe a little snide).
I definitely feel guilty for being a sinner, descended from sinners. But happily, I won't have to suffer for it for eternity, because Jesus died to wash away that sinful nature. I feel so bad, every time I see a picture of Him crucified, to think that I was part of the reason He was nailed up there, but then that guilt is outweighed by happiness that He loves me so much.
So if I have to choose between moping around about missing out on Eden, or looking forward to an eternity in Heaven, I think it's a pretty easy decision.

No one should, we inherited sin from Adam and Eve , thus we are all sinners because of those two. I don't feel guilty for what they did I feel guilty when i sin.

No, not in the least. It causes me great amusement to realise how weak Adam was. If God really did create him in his own image it doesn't reflect very well does it? No wonder the almighty got mad at Adam.

Nope. I don't feel guilty, because if it wasn't for Eve and her little snack, you wouldn't be born, as they were both in a state of innocence....no Garden of Eden for you pal. Sorry!
So meanwhile, suck it up and blame yourself for your problems!
