I always thought it was funny how we say we have free will....so we freely sinned...then we turn around and freely blame the devil...even more funny are works based Christianity. If we are saved by works then you can't really blame the devil. Just like humanity, Adam and Eve were doing the same thing...pointing the finger somewhere else
You live by the sword, you'll die by the sword

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Eve blamed the serpent,. That is when the transfer of blame began.
Adam blamed God for providing a defective mate.

Adam blamed God for providing a defective mate.
Not that it's relevant but Adam started the blame game first. He passed the buck to Eve and if you want to include his blaming God, fine but he is still blaming someone other than himself

The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Not a good idea to complain about food. Adam couldn't get home cookin' from his mamma.
We are living in an age of no personal accountability. That is nothing new though.
