SOG - When Eve and the serpent were engaged in their diabolical and ill-fated attempt at coup d'etat, Adam may have been privy to the conversation or, for all we know, he may have been playing a round of solitary golf. Scripture isn't absolutely specific as to Adam's wereabouts when the serpent was engaged in his satanic attempt to deceive the first lady. What we do know is that Eve fell for the serpent's lies and ate of the forbidden fruit and so did Adam. We see nothing in Scripture to indicate that Adam in any way exercised his role of husband to protect his wife from being deceived or to set an example for her by refusing to eat the forbidden fruit himself. When God called them to account, Eve blamed the serpent and Adam blamed Eve. Neither was willing to admit even to God any personal responsibility for the acts of disobedience both of them engaged in. The sad story of Adam and Eve is the first, and remains the classic, story of buck passing and refusal to admit personal responsibility for sin. The same tragic drama has been replayed on the stages of human history ever since, and remains as current as any play being performed on the Broadway stage this very day. --Hank | ||||||

Greetings Hank! Loved your reply! Do you think that anything would be different had Adam eaten the "forbidden fruit" first? Why is it that we tend to lay such a guilt trip on Eve? Just wondering . . . mommapbs |

Mommapbs - Thanks, dear heart, glad you like the answer. I really don't think anything would have turned out to be any fundamentally different had Adam chomped on the "apple" first: it would still be a fallen world. Adam could have blamed the serpent and Eve could have blamed her husband, of course, and that might make my wife happier :-), but it wouldn't have changed the course of human history very much. --Hank | ||||||
