Hello Browat, no one told her that. Eve expnded on the word of God like many continue to do. She left it open for the Devil to manipulate through her false "interpretation of God"s word. jeff |

Hi Jeff, It's possible that Adam told Eve not to touch the fruit. Adam was told to not eat of the fruit of the tree before Eve had been made. It's entirely possible that Eve knew about God's command only from Adam repeating it to her. And so it's equally possible that Adam added the part about not touching the fruit, intending it for Eve's protection. (Purely speculative, I know.) Love in Christ, Mark |

Hello Mark, Your right of course. My mistake. I should have been more specific to say that the bible doesn't tell us. This is one of those areas where we have to use some discernment. When I read and consider the story I have to take what is given in scripture and draw some fair conclusions. Drawn from 1). The clear instructions from God. 2). Eve's response to Satan; which includes instructions that weren't given by God. So, to be more specific. Someone expanded and/or misinterpreted God's specific word. Whether Adam or Eve we can't know. What we do know, however, is we do have record of Eve stating it wrongly. Thanks for encouraging me to clarify my thoughts. Jeff |
