Subject: Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed |
Bible Note: Hi brother Steve: Good question; but we see that the serpent didn't refute her repeating of what she considered to be the gist of God's command, but responded with what is generally considered the first lie in scripture, and therefore makes satin the father of all lies, as Jesus calls him in, John 8:44, he is the source of all lying. when he said to her, "You will not surely die." and then strays further from truth by saying, "For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." so I can't really see Eve as telling a lie. And though we do see God calling His creation "good" because of her pride in wanting to be more then God had made her to be, and so, to be more like Him, was indeed the temptation at hand. It, (Creation, and Eve being part of it) was not so perfect, as in the sense that we attribute perfection to God himself, so we would not necessarily consider Adam, or Eve, as being perfect, obviously, though they were not fallen yet, per-say, but it was indeed in their nature to succumb to temptation. Just my two cents. God bless John |
