Eve's Choice


In the " Genesis " passage, Eve made a choice to eat the forbidden fruit from the tree that god told her not to eat. Both Adam and Eve didn't know right from wrong. If we assume that Eve had a choice, was her choice a good choice or bad choice? Well the answer is that she made a bad choice. God Specifically told her not to eat from the tree and she did. God punishes Eve and just because of that, the whole Human race changes.

In paragraph 2, there Is evidence in the text that god specifically told her NOT to eat the forbidden fruit from the tree. That was the only rule that god gave Adam and Eve, still she proceeds to touch and eat the fruit. In my opinion, that should most definitely be a sin. It is appropriate that god punishes her for eating the forbidden fruit that he told her not to eat.

Reasons for not blaming Eve for the choice she made is pretty easy to make, but also blaming Eve for the choice she made is easy as well. For example, we could all say that she didn't know right from wrong because in the passage it says " The two of them were naked, yet they felt no shame." We could also say that she did not know that dying was a bad thing so she didn't realize what her choice of eating the forbidden fruit was bad or good. Still god told her not to eat the fruit and she did it anyway. God gave them both paradise with no rules what so ever except for that one rule and she broke it.

I think that it is fine to blame Eve. God told her not to eat the fruit and she did. It doesn't matter if she didn't know right from wrong. She shouldn't have ate the fruit. All bad choices have a punishment so its fine for god to punish Eve for her " sin ". She clearly made a bad choice.
