What would have happened if. . . .

True, but sometimes it's fun to fantasize ... like watching and enjoying a movie like Star Wars or Beetle Juice.

True. I call this a mental exercise, or ...seems like there is a better word, but it's not coming to me right now.

The last Adam didn’t give into temptation like the first. So why did he have to die for her?
I believe he had to die to save her because he had to save himself first.

You are an interesting chap, LeviR.

Where do you get your ideas from?

Would the fall have still happened if only Eve sinned?

Genesis 3.

No, otherwise our Redeemer would have had to be a woman fashioned after Eve...

Romans 5:14 NKJV
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.

Romans 8:3 NKJV
For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,

Would the fall have still happened if only Eve sinned?

Genesis 3.

All humanity would still have been lost. Those created in God's image cannot procreate according to their own kind if even only one of the two has died. In point of fact, there was a brief moment of time when Eve was the only one who had sinned. She was the first sinner (1 Tim. 2:14), not Adam. The difference between the two is that she was deceived, and Adam was not. Her being deceived was not an exemption for the consequences of disobedience. Her asking Adam to join her disobedience is evidence of effect. If and when even only one of them disobeyed God, the consequence was not merely the loss of herself or himself in a right relationship with God, but the loss of the entire human race. Two imperfect people do not create perfect progeny.

So, the outcome would have been the same.

But it's also somewhat irrelevant because they were going to die anyway and they only way to get to God was/is by the tree of life. Hypothetically, they both might have died in complete obedience, and then gone to stand before God but the tree of life is the only way to God, and the only means by which the corruptible is made incorruptible. One of the things to be changed about their ontology was their corruptibility. Even good and sinless they were corruptible, and the goal was to become incorruptible. God made them corruptible. God intended to make them incorruptible. Human disobedience is not an obstacle for the almighty God Whose purpose is inescapably served.

Therefore, not only would all humanity still be lost, but Jesus would still have come, death and resurrection would still occur, and the resulting transformation would still have occurred to achieve God's purpose. He's a pretty big God .
