1 | Would Adam and Eve have fallen? | Gen 3:13 | ebrain | 186916 | ||
Continuation. From the Satanic view point of wishing to destroy God's creation, he had 3 possible approaches, 1 the pair when they were together, 2 the man when he was by himself, or 3 the woman when she was by herself. Now which of these 3 do you think would be the most likely to succeed from the Devils' point of view. What is needed here of course is commentary, Divine commentary not man's opinion. Lets have a look then at Romans Ch 5 v 14. and also 1st Tim Ch 2 vs 13-15. We learn from Romans that Adam was a Type (Pattern)of Him who was to come, remember that The Lord Jesus who knew no sin permitted Himself to be made sin to save His Bride. 1st Timothy says that She(Eve) shall be saved in the childbearing. Now how much childbearing had she done?, non, can she fertilize herself ?, no. Now assuming that Adam was else ware at the time of the temptation, when he returned to his wife, he was horrified to see that she had fallen into temptation, she is now cut off from him, and lost for ever, as she is going to hell. Adam is still sinlessly perfect (As God had made him) and sinlessness can have no contact with sin. He loves his wife with a pure and holy love as no fallen man can have any idea of. The next generation of the Human race has not yet been started, and if it were not to be started then the kinsman redeemer could not be born into it. The only way in which mankind can continue, is if Adam becomes like Eve, a sinner, remember, he is not deceived, he knows just what he is doing. he does not go to the tree as she had done, but takes the fruit from her hand and partakes thereof. Symbolic of Jesus taking our sin to Himself Now what sort of likeness of God do we get. A Self sacrificing Hero who became sin for us, or a Wimp. I know which likeness I prefer, how about you. In Him stbrain I find myself in complete, and total agreement with what "stbrain" had to say. There are, however, two points that might be worth mentioning. Firstly some people will point out that Gen Ch 3 v 6b. says that "he was with her". Well of course he was with her, how else could he have taken the fruit from her in the first place?. He had to be there. Why is there no mention whatsoever of Adam in all the six verses, until after the fruit was taken by Eve?. Why is The Holy Spirit telling us the obvious?. Well perhaps He is not, it might just be His rather subtle way of telling us that Adam was not there all the time. Now the second point, Who told Adam how to save Eve?. I will tell you the answer to that one, when you tell me how Noah knew the difference between "Clean", and "Unclean" at Gen Ch 7 v 2. Yours in His service. pabrain. Note. Let me explain why I sometimes used "stbrain", and at other times "pabrain". The material above is taken from contributions I made some time ago to www.BibleStudy.com for some technical reason it was not always possible to go on line using pabrain, if that was the case I would then use stbrain. |

2 | Would Adam and Eve have fallen? | Gen 3:13 | Brian.g | 186982 | ||
ebrain I have reviewed your analysis and I would like comment on it. Your comparision of Adam to Jesus is interesting, but incomplete. Jesus never sinned. Adam sinned. Jesus took on the weight of man's sin with the purpose of uniting man with God - but he did not sin. Jesus was united with God and trusted God, he was not afraid to be seen by God. Adam joined with Eve in sinning against God. If his intent was to protect Eve, then it was to protect Eve, against God. Jesus recognized that mankind does sin, but through true repentence and by seeking God's foregiveness we can again unite with God. Adam took a defensive position against God and tried to hide his sin. In Gen 3:8-9, Adam and Eve hid in the bushes. Jesus never advocated hiding from God, but to repent so we can be with God. I hope this helps Brian |
