Paul, do you deny that Eve doubted God's word before she ate the fruit? Isn't it a sin to doubt God's word? Witness Lee actually claimed that Eve denied Adam's authority over here when talked to serpent. Isn't it also a sin to deny the authority over you? Moreover, she lied and misrepresented God, when said that God forbidden her to touch the fruit of the tree of knowledge (Gen. 3:3). Isn't it a sin?
When did Adam die? When he disobeyed! Sin came into his through disobedience, not through the fruit - Rom. 5 is clear about this!
Anyway, as I mentioned in my previous post, I stated my position, and it is now up to readers to decide which view is scriptural.
