I don't care what your gender is, the Bible still says "by one MAN sin entered into the world, and death by sin." so forever man will be blamed for death and hell.

preppy, check these verses out
Romans 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit.
1 Timothy 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
1 Timothy 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

Both broke God's order and sought forgiveness from God, and God was merciful He forgave them long long back..I am not living in sin of Adam, because those who repenteth shall not die.

If you put an innocent toddler in a room with a teddy bear and tell him not to touch it then leave the room he will touch it. Only an idiot would think otherwise. God wanted them to eat the apple nothing could have started if they hadnt.
The sin isnt the apple. Here is the sin are you ready because 2000 years of Christianity NO one gets it.
THe sin is that EVE blamed the snake Adam blamed EVE the sin was they didnt take responsibilty and pointed there finger at someone elses sin.
Preachers wouldnt make much cash preaching that Nothing to talk about at the pulpit
SO they miss the point.

Read Genesis. God didn't talk to Eve, he spoke to Adam. He told Adam to not eat of the Tree of Knowledge. Adam turned around and told Eve, "don't even touch the tree". The serpent deceived Eve by showing her that she could touch the tree and not die (which was not part of God's rules for the Garden to begin with)... Sin, in this case, didn't enter the world through Eve, but through Adam because he was taught, Directly, by God himself... whereas Eve listened to a man and got the wrong information to begin with.

In the story, they both broke the rule.
Paul was making a rhetorical argument. He was setting up the Christ as the New Adam. So, for the sake of the argument, he says that we have a parallel situation - one man brings death and sin through disobedience, another man brings life and salvation through perfect obedience.
Bringing Eve into the argument would have thrown off the entire symmetry of Paul's rhetoric which depends on a one to one comparison/contrast.
People who don't study biblical literature are unaware of or underestimate the literary nature of even Paul's epistles. You cannot understand the New Testament without some understanding of Greco-Roman literary forms.

The Bible says that Eve was deceived while Adam knew better than listen to Eve. Then Adam told God he should be ashamed for sending him such a defective mate.
I want to know why women have been compared with the snake in seducing men to do evil ever since then. Adam and Eve weren't without sin and neither are we. Why do we have to pay for either one's transgression? What ever happened to free will and curiosity and knowing things God didn't tell us? Lets just start over.

Eve took the first bite, but Adam was right there, not protecting his wife. Then, when he saw that she was OK, he followed her lead into sin.
Eve was deceived, but Adam did nothing to correct the situation or prevent her from carrying out the temptation. He and Eve share the general guilt of disobedience, but Adam allowed Eve to disobey in the first place. Then, when God confronted Adam, his first response was, "This woman you gave me..."
Eve was deceived. Adam messed up.

Sin entered the world when Adam was tempted by eve to eat the fruit and he did eat the fruit.
God is just and would never punish a person for someone else's sins.

Eve was decieved not Adam. Adam was the head and was held responsible for HIS decision because HE knew that eating the apple was wrong. Eve thought she was doing right but Adam knew better....hint* by one MAN sin entered the world....NOT woman.

Eve heard God's rule second hand. If you read carefully, you will see that God gave Adam the commandment, then created Eve. Not only that, but Adam was the head of the relationship and should have refused even when Eve told him to eat it.

Because Adam made the same choice to disobey God. He failed to be a spiritual leader. If you read Genesis, Adam was there when Eve was tempted. He heard Satan, too.
Genesis 3:6, "When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it."

They use the word "man" as in "mankind", just like we say, "help your fellow man." Means humans in general, not just men.
Eve and Adam were both punished for what happened. Eve for breaking the rule and Adam for letting her convince him to do the same.
People imperfect, our sins make us worthy of death (physical and spiritual death), but God offers us a way to avoid spiritual death, by accepting Jesus as a sacrifice in our place.
John 3:16 "God so loved the world he gave his only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."
