Subject: Would Adam and Eve have fallen? |
Bible Note: 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.
