Actually can I put an interesting idea forward, it’s a bit controversial.
In theory if only Eve ate the fruit not Adam, then any children they had could
still have been sinless.
The reason being that the bible says sin entered the world via one man,
plus it says in regards to the fall it talks about the first man Adam and the
last man Jesus in this respect, as if inherited sin was passed down via Adam and
not Eve.
Romans 5:12-19 NKJV
[12] Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death
through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned-
[13] (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when
there is no law. [14] Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses,
even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the
transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.
[15] But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one
man's offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift
by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.
[16] And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned.
For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation,
but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification.
[17] For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one,
much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of
righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
[18] Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men,
resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the
free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. [19] For as by
one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's
obedience many will be made righteous.
1 Corinthians 15:21-22 NKJV
[21] For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection
of the dead. [22] For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.
1 Corinthians 15:21-22 NLT
[21] So you see, just as death came into the world through a man, now the
resurrection from the dead has begun through another man.
[22] Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone
who belongs to Christ will be given new life.
