Hello Nina,
I guess it's say to assume you haven't read through many of the threads around here, but that's okay. The idea you've brought up above has been discussed many times across these boards, and in this thread I believe, I'm to pressed for time to check. In fact I predict jar is right this very minute composing a reply that will say the same basic things as I'm about to, with my luck jar will also have posted before I finish.
Anyway the details of the argument change from person to person but the punchline is this. You say that the decision to disobey that A&E made was the first sin. But sinning is an act of volition, so how could A&E's decision have been a sin when they had no understanding that it was wrong.
