Not to harp on you, Santgem. I'm actually glad you're here because you brought up some great, great questions and I found new answers I never thought possible. But you asked, is there already a law that makes Eve to sin before she did eat the fruit. And the answer is in Romans 8:2: the LAW of sin and death, which Jesus came to free us from through the LAW of the Spirit. :)
God bless everyone. Just working things out. (And maybe I was a little bored. But Ray nailed it -- God saves us from boredom. Praise God! :) )

Thanks and no thanks shortly for acknowledging me..
Actually when you read Genesis;
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Gen. 1:28
God already instructing them to subdue and have dominion to all livings thing that moveth upon the earth. Meaning all upon the earth.
But, the problem is, Eve allows Satan to have a dominion over her, is that not a sin?
This verse translation from NLT is pretty good for me....
Yes, people sinned even before the law was given. But it was not counted as sin because there was not yet any law to break. Romans 5:13
Gina:
Santgem, Eve "allowed" no such thing! She was deceived and tricked! But hey, I can't make you believe the word of God.
But in saying all that you've said, you admit and agree that sin was in the world before the law and they sinned before eating the fruit. So, that's good. We're on the same page. FINALLY! But those sins WERE NOT CHARGED TO THEIR ACCOUNT because the law re coveting/lust had not yet been given.
(It's like talking to a brick wall.)

Rom 7:25 I thank God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
Adam and Eve were made of carnal flesh from the beginning, like all human being are, we are too weak to resist sin, period. When Satan presented this temptation to Eve she succumbed to it and fail for it hook, line and sinker and Adam with her... as we all do.

THE NATURAL MIND OF MAN HATES GOD AND LOVES SIN
When the Scriptures speak of the "carnal mind" of man or "the flesh" of man, it is speaking of his spiritual condition and attitude, until God converts such a person through a spiritual process of repentance.
We have many statements which confirm the weak and sinful condition of the human heart. Here are but a few:
1. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Rom. 3:23)
2. "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, "Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God" (Gal. 5:19-21)
3. "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked : who can know it?" (Jeremiah 17:9)
4. "Because the carnal mind is enmity [hatred] against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be" (Rom. 8:7)
5. "What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one. There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good no NOT ONE" (Rom.3:9-12)
6. "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away" (Isaiah 64:6)
7. "For God hath concluded them all [both the Jews & Gentiles -- that's all humanity] in unbelief, that He might have mercy upon all" (Rom. 11:32)
Notice that God will need to "have mercy upon all" because "all have sinned." God made the human race, and He made them spiritually weak, and as such are not able to obey the spiritual laws of God. Eve failed her first test. God told them what they could and could not eat. Eve immediately gave in to her "lust of flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life" when Satan presented her the opportunity. This weak spiritual mind and heart of Eve did not develop over a life-time of sinning, but was with her from her beginning.

I know that she was deceived and tricked that is why she ate the fruit. What i mean is that it is not herself to allow the situations. Eve submitted herself to be deceived by satan, whereas God told them to subdued and to have dominion to all living things including satan.
Now satan have a dominion over them because they ate the fruit and they submitted themselves to be controlled by satan.
God told them to have a dominion to all including satan, and if ever Eve not to hear satan then she still follow God on the instruction to have a dominion to all, are you still following?
At that time when eve submitted to satan to eat the fruit will she not sin in submission to satan?
for the puzzle; :D
1. No, she did not sin before eating the fruit, no laws still violated.
2. Yes, she did sin because God instructed to have all dominion to all things but submitted
instead to satan to have dominion over her that is why she sinned.
3. None of the above
But in saying all that you've said, you admit and agree that sin was in the world before the law and they sinned before eating the fruit. So, that's good. We're on the same page. FINALLY! But those sins WERE NOT CHARGED TO THEIR ACCOUNT because the law re coveting/lust had not yet been given. Agreed :)
