The Woman WAS dying.....and Adam WAS painfully aware of this.
THEREFORE Adam ate the fruit to be with the woman (become a sinner!) that GOD GAVE HIM.
Which of course is why Adam is later honored as being a type of Christ.
Likewise, Christ, being in agonies seeing His Bride suffering and dying, BECAME SIN FOR US (the Bride that God gave Him!) so that we might live.
Get the picture?

In Romans 5, Adam is juxtaposed with Christ. Adam introduced sin and all that befell mankind as a result. Christ, on the other hand, introduced righteousness, overcame the world, paid for sin and reconciled the world to God. They seem a little different to me.
