Atheist mocks God: “God says to forgive everyone but doesn’t forgive Eve for eating an apple.”

Christian response,

First of all,

Biblical forgiveness is mandated for one’s health and welfare and spiritual health; coming to a place of peace – forgiveness with the offense of another is not for the offender but for the offended and their physiological/psychological health and their intimate relationship with our Creator.

Second,

Eve was not held to the same level of culpability for the sin of disobedience as Adam. It was Adam that was held culpable by Elohim as Eve’s culpability was mitigated by the fact that she had received the edict prohibiting compromise with evil via hearsay from her husband but Adam received the edict directly from Elohim; therefore, due to federal headship in combination with Adam’s violation of Elohim’s direct command to NOT compromise with evil, all of Adam’s seed will die in body in the Realm of Time as it is Adam’s seed that transfers the sin-nature (Romans 5:12).

Note that when Eve compromised at Satan’s behest, nothing happened, Elohim was silent, but when Adam compromised, “The Fall” was instantaneous; consequently, both Adam and Eve died spiritually the moment Adam relented to the enticement of his wife and the psychological and physiological ramifications of sin/disobedience immediately manifest in Eden e.g. spiritual separation from Elohim resulting in fear-shame-lying-obfuscation-hiding from Elohim and self-righteous efforts to cover and conceal one’s sin (fig leaves).

Therefore, we see Messiah entering the Realm of Time via the seed of the woman (virgin seed) apart from Adam’s seed as Messiah was not born of Adam but of the Holy Spirit and the virgin seed (ovum) of Mary; therefore, Messiah was born in spiritual perfection absent a sin-nature and subsequently lived a sinless life thereby making Himself the spotless Lamb of God fitted and qualified to take away the sin of the World via blood atonement provided at Golgotha; forgiveness of sin via Messiah’s blood atonement that is actuated by faith in Messiah Jesus as Lord and Savior – believing with a sincere heart that Jesus died to pay our sin-debt owed the Father – a sin-debt we could never pay through our own self-righteous efforts (John 3).
