To those of you who think that Eve believed the serpent and chose to eat based upon her own free will.
The word "believed" does not occur in the creation account - nor does "believed" appear anywhere else in Scripture in relation to Eve.
Eve was deceived, not convinced, for Paul wrote of Eve "the woman, having been deceived, has come into transgression" (1 Timothy 2:14).
Eve was in the flesh because Adam said "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man" (Genesis 2:23).
Deception is a state of being for people in the flesh, and the flesh is against God for Paul wrote "the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. For these are opposed to one another" (Galatians 5:17), so this means that "those who are in the flesh cannot please God" (Romans 8:8) - not even to choose God.
Eve was made in the image according to the likeness of God (Genesis 1:26), and God created Eve without her knowing good and evil, yet God knew what good and evil was when God created Eve, so Eve was not created with all of God's attributes.
God willpowering purported "free will" into Eve, specifically a free will into Eve in the likeness God's will, during the creation of Eve means that Eve could not have used free will to perform evil against God because God will not use willpower in order to perform evil against God's self (Psalm 5:4, Psalm 92:15, Deuteronomy 32:4); THEREFORE, it follows that Eve could not use such a free will in order to perform evil against God. This sounds a lot like Romans 8:20 as shown in post #1101 in this thread.
"I, YHWH your God, am a jealous God" (Exodus 20:5) says the Word of God, and the Word of God says "I will not give My glory to another" (Isaiah 42:8), so God jealously reserves the glory for man's salvation to God alone (John 3:3-8, John 3:21, John 6:29).
Man in man's flesh jealously glorifies the man, and it is here that we find a corollary attribute between Eve and God - see that Eve jealously engaged in self glorification.
God converts man (Matthew 18:3) for thus says the Lord "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3), so then man seeks God’s glory just as Jesus exemplifies to us Christians (John 6:38).
Your deceptions listed
YOU ARE WAY, WAY SPIRITUALLY OFF THE TARGET ABOUT EVE!!!
The devil, the serpent in the creation account, is steeped in deception for the King of Glory says "You are of [your] father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own [nature], for he is a liar and the father of lies" (John 8:44).
You are in the flesh in a state of deception thinking that you are saved from the wrath of God to come.
Still, no free will written in the creation account (Genesis 1:1-31 Genesis 2:1- 25 Genesis 3:1-24), with Paul in accord for he conveyed that Adam “not willingly” subjected creation to futility by eating of the tree forbidden for eating since Paul included all time prior to Paul’s birth by his writing “until now” (Romans 8:20-22).
“YHWH is righteous in all his ways and holy in all his works” (Psalm 145:17).
THE ALL KNOWING GOD (JOHN 16:30) GETS EXCLUSIVE CREDIT AND GLORY FOR MAN’S SALVATION (JOHN 3:3-8), AND MAN DOES NOTHING - NOT EVEN A CHOICE (JOHN 15:16).
The Redemption of Mankind through the Christ is certain, even before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:1-14).
"What I have said, that I will bring about; what I have planned, that I will do" (Isaiah 46:11).
No purpose of God's can be thwarted (Job 42:2).
Just as the original post shows richly in scripture, Adam was not imparted free will, and no man thereafter was imparted free will either.

Your deceptions listed
- your heart evilly adds "believed" into the creation account - even into the Word of God,
- your heart evilly thinks the flesh is capable of pleasing God,
- your heart evilly pits your postulated God-like "free-will" for Eve against God,
- your heart evilly seeks self glorification with your thoughts "I chose to believe in Jesus", and
- your heart evilly redirects glory from God unto man in the eyes of the world - you are a thief, so you are an offense to the ministry of God (2 Corinthians 6:3).
