<\/p>\n

While we have seen from part one that Adam\u2019s sin was said to have been a deliberate transgression of the covenant and as a result it was a treacherous act against God (Hosea 6:7) where does that leave the seriousness of Eve\u2019s sin?<\/p>\n

God has made a dividing line between those sins which come from a deliberate defiance against God and those sins which are done unintentionally. Numbers 15:22, 27, 30, 31 says:<\/p>\n

\n

\u2018But when you unwittingly fail and do not observe all these commandments, which the LORD has spoken to Moses\u2026 Also if one person sins unintentionally<\/u>, then he shall offer a one year old female goat for a sin offering\u2026 But the person who does anything<\/span><\/em> defiantly<\/u>, whether he is native or an alien, that one is blaspheming the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from among his people. Because he has despised the word of the LORD<\/u> and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his guilt will be<\/span><\/em> on him<\/u>.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If one sins unintentionally, it is still a sin, but there is provision given for grace to cover this sin. 1 Timothy 2:14 says that Eve was deceived and fell into sin unintentionally through that deception.<\/p>\n

\n

And it was<\/span><\/em> not Adam who<\/span><\/em> was deceived, but the woman being deceived<\/u>, fell into transgression.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Did Eve experience God\u2019s grace along with his justice? Paul alludes to this in 1 Timothy 1 & 2 as he talks about those who were fully deceived but who received God\u2019s grace in the midst of their ignorance. In 1 Timothy 1:13, 14 Paul says:<\/p>\n

\u201ceven though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy<\/u> because I acted ignorantly<\/u> in unbelief; and the grace<\/u> of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In these verses Paul ties in the mercy<\/u> he received from Jesus with his ignorance so that the one who acted in ignorance was eligible to receive mercy.<\/p>\n

Another example of ignorance where a person finds mercy from God is in 1 Timothy 2:14 Paul says Eve fell into sin but because of her deception she found mercy when God promised that the Messiah would come through the seed of the woman<\/u>. Genesis 3:15 says:<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed<\/u>; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Satan\u2019s tactic was to deceive the woman, but by that very act, Satan inadvertently opened the door to mankind\u2019s receiving mercy through the seed of the woman. God did not charge the woman with treacherous rebellion as he did Adam, (Hosea 6:7) but because she had been deceived and had sinned ignorantly in her deception, God had the right to bring the Messiah into the world through her lineage.<\/p>\n

What was meant by Satan to bring all of mankind into Satan\u2019s own rebellion was turned around by God and was used as the means to destroy Satan. It was through the woman whom Satan deceived, that God was able to bring the sinless Messiah into the world and that perfect, sinless Messiah would in turn crush the head of Satan. The promise was made to the woman and not to the man because she was the one who received mercy.<\/p>\n


\nAdam on the other hand was not deceived and since his sin was a willful sin, his guilt remained on his bloodline. Adam was therefore the only one<\/u> who brought sin into this world.<\/p>\n
