1 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | humbledbyhisgrace | 208142 | ||
Dear Cheri, John and Azure, I was reading through the thread and thinking about all that was said and what the scriptures reveal to us on this matter. Eve's statement in Genesis 3:2-3 (NASB) "From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.' " Considering at this point we are not dealing with the fallen nature and Eve's words are "God has said", should our view of the matter be that God indeed had said "You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die" ? Certainly, if Eve spoke on behalf of God saying something that God had not said, not only would she be lying, but she also would be making God out to be a liar. Steve |

Steve, Good day brother. Compare Gen 2:17 and Gen 3:3. Kinda put-em next to each other. If we're not paying attention it's real easy to not notice the difference in Eve's reply to the adversary. Genesis 3 is huge in the whole picture of where man is today and what God's plan for our redemption was going to be. The first three verses of Genesis chapter three say allot about what people still do today, They will take Gods Word and twist it or they will add some thing to it to make it fit thier own theology. Satan played the full deck here and he plays that same deck of cards today. Satan will do anything to through stumbling blocks in the lives of God's people. (Not to give him credit though.) But God has given us all that we need. 2 Peter 1:3ff. I love this stuff. In Him, lionheart |

Greetings Brother! See my response to Azure in post 208149. I would be interested in your thoughts! I've done front flips and back flips through these passages many times and have reasoned much the same way you have in the past but it seems to me there is much assumption in our reasoning this way. Given the actual text we have available to us and without adding assumptions to the text, and let me add with my limited mind and ability to understand, it seems to me our reasoning on this is done outside of what the text actually says. So I would be interested in my thoughts on this as I have laid out in the post to Azure (208149). Thanks Brother, Steve |

Steve, You and I are pretty much in the same ballpark on this. Read your post to Azure. It explains allot. It's just ( this isn't in reference to your post to Azure.) that when we start going outside the text, whats there we can find ourselves on very shaky ground. I think if we go back and look at the first two chapters of Genesis it will make it somewhat simpler to answer questions like these. In Him, lionheart |
