Bible Question:
Robert, Seasons Greetings to you also, in His Holy Name! I appreciate your insightful answers. I pray you realize that the ultimate answer to this question in Genesis, and many other Scriptures, will come only from Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, when we meet Him in the clouds. It matters not to me whether or not Adam was at the scene, at the precise moment when this conversation took place. What does really matter is, that it happened, and was the cause for our downfall. Since Adam was a type of Christ, if he were there, his action(s, or lack thereof) were certainly not Christ-like attributes. It's illustrative of one of the central themes of Scriptures, in that, man cannot make it in (to Heaven) on his own, without help from above. In spite of having a "one-on-one" relationship with the Father, Adam chose to take the 'easy' way out of situations, and not take responsibility for his own actions. I pray, continuously, that if faced with a similar situation(s), that He deliver me, lest I tend to "judge" Adam too stictly. Again, thank you Sir! Holiday Greetings, and Blessing to you and your family! |
Bible Answer: Greetings hgwill! I tend to agree with Emmaus, in saying that Adam was present with Eve at this scene. However, regardless if Adam was there or not, I believe that he willingly and knowingly (knowing the consequences of his action) took part of the sin and ate the forbidden fruit. Whether or not he was the first one to do it is besides the point- he did it, just like his wife did, and he was therefore the first man to sin. Blessings to you, Nolan |
