I am wondering the following: In Genesis, 3.16, it is quite clear that God multiplies the pain of childbirth, in order to punish Eve (and all women) for eating the forbidden fruit.
So, yes, this explains that childbirth is a punishment for this sin Eve committed.
But then, Jesus dies for all sins of mankind, that is, all sins are forgiven.
He revoked a bunch of other stuff in the old testament (thou shall not eat shrimp).
However, if all sins are forgiven, why does childbirth still cause a lot of pain? Did Jesus forget this detail. Or is there another explanation?
