I voted no, and I am Vocal about one question in particular in the Heidelberg
Q & A 7
Q. Then where does this corrupt human nature
come from?
A. From the fall and disobedience of our first parents,
Adam and Eve, in Paradise.^1
This fall has so poisoned our nature^2
that we are born sinners—
corrupt from conception on.^3
I do not agree that Eve's name should be in there. It is specifically mentioned by Paul that sin entered through one man, that is Adam.
This is a good point. The Westminster Standards have similar language in WCF 6.3 "they being the root of all mankind." It also could appear that WLC 26 "Original sin is conveyed from our first parents unto their posterity" is inconsistent with WLC 25 "guilt of Adam's first sin" (emphases added).
