I have never read this in any translation and I don't believe it to be true. Also many pastors I have talked to don't believe it either.

Juan, Wicca doesn't have a Bible and they don't follow any of the stories and tenets of the Christian Bible.

This was a reply from someone discussing whether kids are born sinful and claimed that Adam and Eve sinned from the minute they were created but God ignored them until they ate of the fruit. I didn't believe that one for a second.

Some faiths say that their having sex was a sin... I don't know of a particular translation, however.
Stand By for a possible edit...
EDIT:
No luck yet... but Genesis 1:25--"The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame."--could be interpreted by some to mean that they SHOULD have felt shame, because what they were doing was wrong.
Personally, if it was just me and my wife, and we had the whole garden to ourselves, we'd run around in the buff all the time! Of course, my wife is a little hottie--people have thought she was my daughter (we're only 6 1/2 years apart... I look old I guess)!

There are NO translations that say that, as far as I know. If Adam & Eve sinned before eating the fruit, it wouldn't make much difference anyway because their first sin was their first sin, period. I firmly believe it was when they ate the apple and the veil of memory was lifted from them, curing them with an imperfect knowledge of the world and forgetting their previous state... but that would have happened at the first sin, regardless.
However, there are debates (and no one knows for sure) is Adam & Eve had a desire to "mate" before The Fall. I say it's possible because in their "perfect" state, it would be "mating" and not "sex"... nature taking it's course like with animals, not lustful passionate love-making. lol. Of course, we don't know if they did.. and some people think that would be sinful too, just because it's two humans engaging in copulation, regardless of anything else.

It does not say that. It says that when they ate of the fruit they gained knowledge of good and evil. thus becoming like God Genesis chapter 3. Satan said to eve: God knows that in the day you eat of the fruit you eyes will be opened and you will be like God knowing good from evil. Genesis 3:5
No where does it say they sinned before eating the fruit. the first sin was disobeying God by eating the fruit then their eyes were opened. They then knew they were naked and were ashamed.

You are correct Wicca does not have a bible and we do not follow the tenants of the bible. I saw that remark when answering that question and wondered whey that person got that idea.
Babies do not understand and we have to teach them. Adam and eve were not taught good from evil they just knew it after eating the fruit. Saying Adam and eve sinned before is like saying a baby sins .

Alot of people believed that the very thought of them being tempted by the devil showed sin. How they were lured into going against what God told them not to do. They questioned God many times when he already told them the answers.
I dont believe that they sinned before hand though God made them perfect like everything else

To my knowledge there is no translation that has this. Every one I have read always speaks of the eating of the fruit as the sin. Scriptually there was no sin by them before this rebellion.

I have never heard of any translation that states this.Maybe it was the person who told you that made this translation. It sure sounds manufactured.

There isn't any. I don't know where you got THAT lie man.
Thanks for believing the truth. You need to always believe in the truth, not some weird stuff you hear around from people.

None...
The ' eating' was the original sin.
Genesis 2; 16.17

I have never heard of this I think that the person who told you this is either misguided or a heretic.

i mean if you read it it's perfectly clear people read things and want to put there on little twist on it instead of reading it for just what it is
