1 | Again, was Adam there? | Gen 3:6 | hgwill | 27965 | ||
I realize the first rule for interpreting Scripture is to "read-it-like-it-is." The argument I was attempting to use is this: "If I were out with my wife, and someone attempted to get 'familiar' with her, the outcome would not be the same." Secondly, some other versions read that she took it to her husband. If Adam were there, at the exact instance that the conversation was going on, I contend that the situation would have been different. I also realize that other factors like, jealousy, envy, and those other things had not yet entered the picture. But, common sense, or unction, was clearly still on the scene. | ||||||
2 | Again, was Adam there? | Gen 3:6 | Robert Nicholson | 27968 | ||
In Gen. 3:6 it would appear that Adam was not with Eve when she was tempted by the serpent. The seductive conversation in which the serpent questioned the Word of God by using part truths occured between Eve and the Serpent. In addition in Gen.3:12 when the Lord asked Adam "What hast thou done" Adam blamed the woman not the serpent. Have you given any thought to the love which Adam had for his wife. He was not seduced by satan, but willing took of that which would bring him spiritual death to God. In fact, it is Adam not Eve who is cited in Romans 5:23 as the one whereby sin entered the world. This reminds me of the love that the Lord Jesus had for the church in that he willing partook of the awful death of the Cross, knowing full well the cost and yet he turned not back and offered himself as a sacrifice for our sins thereby satisfying a Holy God. Through his death he has removed the separation which was ours by sin and has brought us to himself by his precious blood. Seasons greetings in his precious Name. Robert |

3 | Again, was Adam there? (Part II) | Gen 3:6 | hgwill | 27975 | ||
Robert, Seasons Greetings to you also, in His Holy Name! I appreciate your insightful answers. I pray you realize that the ultimate answer to this question in Genesis, and many other Scriptures, will come only from Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, when we meet Him in the clouds. It matters not to me whether or not Adam was at the scene, at the precise moment when this conversation took place. What does really matter is, that it happened, and was the cause for our downfall. Since Adam was a type of Christ, if he were there, his action(s, or lack thereof) were certainly not Christ-like attributes. It's illustrative of one of the central themes of Scriptures, in that, man cannot make it in (to Heaven) on his own, without help from above. In spite of having a "one-on-one" relationship with the Father, Adam chose to take the 'easy' way out of situations, and not take responsibility for his own actions. I pray, continuously, that if faced with a similar situation(s), that He deliver me, lest I tend to "judge" Adam too stictly. Again, thank you Sir! Holiday Greetings, and Blessing to you and your family! |

4 | Again, was Adam there? (Part II) | Gen 3:6 | Makarios | 27988 | ||
Greetings hgwill! I tend to agree with Emmaus, in saying that Adam was present with Eve at this scene. However, regardless if Adam was there or not, I believe that he willingly and knowingly (knowing the consequences of his action) took part of the sin and ate the forbidden fruit. Whether or not he was the first one to do it is besides the point- he did it, just like his wife did, and he was therefore the first man to sin. Blessings to you, Nolan |

5 | Again, was Adam there? (Part II) | Gen 3:6 | Searcher56 | 27996 | ||
Scripture ... Genesis 3:6, Romans 5:12 ... Merry CHRISTmas ... I, too, think he was there. -there is no apparent time delay -she apparently doesn't have to say anything about about the food of the tree -he apparently didn't ask anything It wasn't her act that caused sin to enter the world ... it was his fault.

6 | Again, was Adam there? (Part II) | Gen 3:6 | Makarios | 28035 | ||
Thank you Searcher56, I agree with you, and Merry Christmas to you as well! Eve may have been the first one to actually fall to the temptation (by being the first to eat of the fruit), but I believe that Adam was right there with her, in full knowledge of everything that was happening. Blessings to you, Nolan |
