1 | Was Adam there at that moment? | Gen 3:6 | hgwill | 27960 | ||
As you can see from Genesis 3:6, Eve made a decision, based on faulty information, to do something against God's instructions. My question is this. Was Adam physically with her, in her and satan's presence, while satan was making his argument to her? I say no. | ||||||
2 | Was Adam there at that moment? | Gen 3:6 | Emmaus | 27983 | ||
All the Hebrew pronouns and verbs used in the account of the temptation and fall are in the plural (twelve times in seven verses)indicating Adam was right there. This would also explain why Adam so easily accepted the fruit from Eve. He had already heard the exchange between Eve and the serpent. He also failed in his charge from God to "tend" or "guard" the garden. He allowed the serpent to take the offensive and put Eve on the defensive and did not respond to the serpent's misrepresentations of God's words. Consider how differently Jesus, the new Adam, responded to his temptation after his fourty days in the desert in Matthew 4. |
