Passing the buck

When God asked what happened, he was given history's first buck passing session.
"Eve gave it to me" said Adam
"The serpent deceived me" said Eve
Imagined what might have happened if Adam had said, "God, I confess. I messed up. I'm sorry"
He didn't, and he paid the price. They were banished from the garden of Eden. So do we.
When we sin confess and ask for forgiveness from God with a contrite heart. He will forgive you.
The state of being contrite; deep sorrow and repentance for sin, because
sin is displeasing to God; humble penitence; through repentance.
