Eve Got A Bum Rap in the Garden of Eden

I don't know about you but I've always felt that Eve got a bum rap when it comes to that apple in the Garden of Eden so long ago.

Sin didn't enter the world through Eve (woman) although she did bite the forbidden fruit.

Sin entered the world through Adam (man) because unlike Eve he was not deceived.  He knew it was wrong to take that bite but he took it anyway and of course later blamed Eve.

Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man...

Romans 5:15 ...God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!

How blessed we are that GOD rectified the situation through His Son Jesus Christ.

Unlike what's been taught to women for centuries, Adam (one man) was the conduit for sin.  Eve was duped by the devil.  Although if you listen to many men of faith it was all Eve's fault even though the scriptures say otherwise.

Religion like most everything else is a male dominated institution. I'm okay with that.  I'd just like to see Eve vindicated of the bum rap she received and women have had to live with throughout history.
