The Transgression

The Bible refers to the first sin as "the transgression" in 1 Timothy 2:14. Some have misunderstood this passage respecting Eve, her sin, and the consequences for humanity. In this study both the sin of Eve and that of Adam are examined to discover a template for temptation and sin. Attention is also given to the differences between the sin of Eve and that of Adam mentioned in Romans 5 to better understand how it is "by one man's disobedience many were made sinners."
