It would certainly explain the obsession with Eve in the book of Genesis (eg. Women are inherently evil and are the ones who caused men to sin by eating from the tree of knowledge. Ergo, women are the root of all evil).
We should not repeat the lies of those so called Christians.
The punishment for eating the fruit was to die of old age, "but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” -- genesis 2:17
Adam got kicked out of garden of Eden because he was a coward and did not follow the man honour code: no rat.
As a husband, Adam was supposed to love and protect Eve. However at first sign of trouble, Adam threw Eve under the bus. "The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it." -- genesis 3:12
Had Adam said "I am sorry I disobey your order", he probably would have stayed in the garden. Instead, first he blamed God put woman there & then blamed woman for his action.
Of course Eve was not without fault. But Adam was the leader and should take full responsibility.
Adam, man up. Admit your fault. Stop blaming others.

Just to clarify the Methodist denomination has no issue with this. Our current pastor is a woman and my mom fills in for her twice a month when she goes to other churches in our area to preach.
