Adams fault??

[FreeinChrist]

IMO, I would have to say that while both parties are at fault, that Adam takes the bigger blame in this situation.   For at least I see that Eve seemed to be telling the serpent, what God commanded them, while if we look carefully at the story we see that Adam just sat back and watch the whole event.

And when the woman, saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

Genesis 3:6

 

For we see that Eve gave to Adam who was with her.  Adam, it seems had a chance to man up, and didn't.  But both man and woman play the blame game.  Adam blamed God for giving the woman, and woman blamed the serpent.  IMO this is one of the many proofs that women often have better spiritual eyes than us men.  Adam the first of the male sex, wanted to blame God, sorry to say for us guys, that is just plain stupid.  At least Eve as the first woman, knew to blame the serpent, and not God.

or  she could have taken it  to where he was and given him. There is literally nothing to say that  he was right there.

The story implies that he was there when she did it, even if there is nothing said explicitly.   But that is really neither here, nor there.

let me clarify. Yes God places blame on adam and yes he took the fruit  while knowing better- not disputing that, but the impression  this lady gave is that eve taking the fruit was somehow his fault not hers.

Apparently, a grown woman  isnt responsible for her actions, so blame the husband because she didnt quote Gods instructions exactly.

The Bible never says whther Adam gave Eve the exact instructions that God gave him(maybe not or maybe he did and she misquoted him) or that if he was there to stop her.

BUT

 

Besides, God said dont eat  it, wouldnt touching be involved in the eating??? So either way, clearly contact with said fruit is wrong.Which she disobeyed.

 

 The lady was adamant on it being his fault that his wife  ignored Gods simple rules and  listened to a talking snake.

 

THATS why i call it buck passing.

Biased because of something i realised about male and female fault  taking, but thats another story

I don't think God blames Adam for Eve's sin, if that is what she is saying.  Eve received a horrible curse from God as a result of her own sin.  God didn't let anyone pass the buck.    God didn't say, "Eve,  you're off the hook."

I would say they were both equally at fault. they chose to sin. Makes one wonder if one hadn't eaten while the other had, what would happen.

The are equally at fault, but not equally to blame for the fall.  Adam is solely to blame in the Bible.  Adam as her husband and head, could have interceded for Eve, mostly likely and Eve would have been forgiven.

Gen 3

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

 

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

 

After reading V3 Im sure she knew; evedently she was told and she was not in the dark on this.

But Paul says she was deceived.  So the question is, in what way was she deceived?
