What is Wayne T. Richards's interpretation of the fall of man in Genesis?

Wayne T. Richards teaches a controversial, non-traditional interpretation of the fall of man in Genesis.

Instead of seeing the “forbidden fruit” as a literal piece of fruit, Wayne explores the idea that the fall involved a sexual covenant or illicit union. He digs into the word “beguiled” (Genesis 3:13), arguing it implies deep deception and possible sexual defilement, not just simple trickery or eating.

From this view, the fall is about corrupted covenant, defiled intimacy, and spiritual consequences that entered the human bloodline, not merely breaking a dietary command.
