James,

Let's use your example of Adam and Eve in regards to intention/action. What would have been worse, Adam thinking about eating the apple but refraining, or Adam actually eating the apple?

Remember, if he doesn't eat it, there is no original sin and man is never in a state of fallen grace. so is his contemplating eating the apple as bad as actually eating it?
