Bible Question: Why did Adam eat the apple too? |
Bible Answer: Because of his desire to be like God; He wanted the power he thought the knowledge of good and evil would give him. Some people like to imagine it was out of love for Eve - he didn't want her to leave the garden without him, but God had not set that punishment yet, plus as soon as Adam was confronted, he blamed Eve for the sin. Romans 5 teaches that it was through Adam that sin entered the world. As the head of the the family, when Eve showed him the apple, he should have instructed her not to eat it. Instead they ate it together and sin entered the world as a result. |
