If Jesus' life and death paid the toll for all sins, why do women still endure pain during childbirth?

The pain of childbirth was the punishment for the first sin. Read your Bible.

Apparently, all life pays for the first sin. Everything dies because two people got caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
You know they found a lost scripture that stated we suffer from jaundice because the first rabbits ate the forbidden carrot?

hello, pain in childbirth was a punishment for a sin. I agree, I don't understand.
BTW, what is up with idea we can't sin? I thought the price was paid. If I pay for something from Wal-mart, I get to do what I want with it.
And most importantly, how do we know what the true sins are. The Bible wasn't written until over 300 years AD. It was then gone over by a pick and choose of what should be in the Bible. What happened to the Apocrypha? Men decided it wasn't right.

If you want to be very exact about this, no not every single sin in the world was paid for by Jesus. If that were the case nobody can go to hell.
Sin and the consequence of sin are totally different.
The sin may be paid for so that the person would never come under eternal damnation for it, but the consequence of the sin can continue to remain.
Take for instance someone who lived a life of fornication then came to know the Lord but later on found out that they have AIDS or some other fatal disease. It's the same thing.

Without the pain of childbirth, you'd never know the joy of motherhood.
Pain is not a sin, it's knowledge and it's necessary.
If you didn't know pain, you would experience damage from burns, to sickness, to death, all without your knowledge. If you never knew any pain you could never appreciate any joy at all.
edit
You are so focused on the sin, that you have missed the lesson and forget where man has fallen from. What does that matter? You do not trust God anyway.
Reading has nothing to do with understanding. Reading is not believing. There maybe no cause for your distrust, no truth that will ever absolve it. That certainly isn't my fault.

Because Eve ate from the forbidden tree of knowledge first and then Adam. Eve caused the pain in childbirth and Adam caused the sin. If everyone would read the Bible you would know. The Bible is the truth to everything. God Bless

The pain of childbirth was one of the punishments for the fall of man. Though Jesus came as a sacrifice for our sin man is his mortal status is still a fallen being. Only in immortality are we not fallen and subject to the punishment of being fallen.
so you don;t believe in God, big deal. Why not speak of something else religious or spiritual rather than be rude about what people believe. try doing something productive.

it's the same line of question as why do people still die? The effect of sin was death. Why do people still die after Jesus? Why are there sin still in this would and effects of sin? Answer is simple. If there wasn't any, no one would know that birth come with a pain. For us Christians, being born again causes and caused much more pain by one man, Jesus.

Because just like Adam brought death into the world.Eve brought pain in childbirth into the world. It was the penalty forever. Pain in childbirth will never go away. People will never stop dying. But we can still be saved despite both of those things.

We still have labor pains, man must still toil in the fields (so to speak), because it is a fallen world. That's still our consequence, whether we accept Christ or not.
But I bet a lot of women would be accepting Christ if it took away labor pains!!!
Edit: Regarding your edit that refers to everyone being punished because "two people got caught with their hand in the cookie jar" - EVERY person who has ever lived would have eaten from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil at some point. Just because you weren't there to do it yourself doesn't mean you wouldn't have done it. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23

I know my bible! The pain of childbirth is ONE of the many things that humans have to suffer because of sin. It's NOT the punishment for the first sin, but one of many things that we have to suffer from because of ALL sin -not just one.

His sacrifice did not "pay the toll" for all sins. That is not Christian doctrine. But even if it was, the sacrifice of Jesus did not remove the consequences of sin. But even if it did, the opening of Genesis belongs with the poetical/philosophical books of the Old Testament, and has to do with ancient cosmological and metaphysical speculation, not literal talking snakes or literal birth pangs.
