Hi Gabbi,
>According to the Christian interpretation though, eve was punished for tempting Adam, and women were not to be trusted. That's what I was going by According to Martin Luther, ( I think) it was because Eve was made from the rib that turned away from god, it was natural for women to stray from the path of righteousness
Thats interesting, the Snake, Adam and Eve were all punished.
According to the bible, Adam in Hebrew means "mankind" Eve sounds similar to the word "living" which is rendered in the context as "human beings"
So Martin Luther said Eve (Humans beings) were punished for tempting Adam (mankind) and Adam (mankind) was punished because he gave into Eves (Humans Beings) temptations.
Kind regards
Nick
