Bible Question: What was the First Sin?

Actually your all wrong.Eve taking the fruit was first,Also, the serpant was a false witness or 'liar' suggesting they would benefit from taking the fruit. So the serpant brought the evil and Adam and Eve were tempted. I am guessing I will be hung, drawn and quartered for having this opinion, but thats all it is really.Brian am I correct or am I interpreting again?lol
will I recieve a five page retort from Rhain.lol[This message has been edited by mike the wiz, 08-29-2003]

Fair enough, I just thought I would provoke Rhain, as he seems to enjoy this topic.'Well when I was a Christian the tradtional view was that Eve sinned first.'Its hard to believe you were christian once, am I right in guessing you de-converted.lol

'I know I come across as intolerant of Christianity at times, but that isn't always in reaction to the faith itself, what I dont like is not Christianity per se, but 'Christians' who condemn everyone they meet, and believe that they are much more moral than everyone else.'I also sometimes dislike what christians say. I am a follower of Christ , I dont call myself christian becuse of things like, church, hypocrites, e.t.c I just believe in God. (i think you know my position)'I had my doubts when my mother died suddenly when I was 14, she was an absolute angel, and I wondered why God allowed her to suffer so much pain before she died.'Well, I am sorry about that and something that significant can't really be countered at the e.v.c'I had many good times as a Christian, but deep down inside me I just know that it isn't true.'Its odd, isn't it, your 100% that it isn't true and I am 100% that it is. I guess it really does come down to belief.

'Oh, I see...taking a person's post seriously and providing a thorough response is something to sneer at'It was so obviously a joke!
Do you really want to go on about the serpant again? as we have done that previously, so why go over it again?

'I know. I was pointing out it was pathetic.'I was being light hearted, it was a hint for you to not go on about the serpant again.'SerpEnt. With an e. S-E-R-P-E-N-T.'You are reaching Rhain.'What's to go over? The serpent didn't lie and was not possessed by Satan.'Okay Rhain, you know what; whatever you say!
