Whose Fault Was The Fall?

Credit :

Apart from Scripture, there is no reason to believe Adam and Eve actually existed. Thankfully, God chose to tell us about the first man and woman He created. And He didn't stop there. God supernaturally delivered a record of human history in His "love letter" to His children. The Bible reveals many things to us we would never have known about God and His dealings with man.

And so my starting point in considering Adam and Eve's sin is Scripture. How else could any of us have a clue about sin, and God's redemptive plan of salvation?

Now either Adam and Eve chose to sin with their own free will, or God caused them to sin. Those are the only two options. I suppose a person could argue that it was a joint effort and God "caused part of their decision," but even then, God would be the One who caused them to move in the direction of disobedience.
