Bible Note: Greetings Imm, Ah, it looks as if you have worked your way through this also :-) These are the type discussions I love to see! Lot's of good thoughts and questions by all who have attempted to work through this. I love it! First, let me address the beginning assumption. I'm not clear on what you are trying to say here. I will say this, I personally don't see any reason to assume anything. After all, that is what usually leads us astray from the text in the first place. What we do know is that God commanded Adam, and according to the written word, Eve said that God said etc... So, I'm afraid I don't see the need to assume what they might have thought on the matter. What is clear is that they were disobedient to what God had said. Perhaps I misunderstand your first comments??? Your comment... "It sounds to me as though she was in transgression before eating, she picked it, at that point she didn't die, she had just told the serpent, God said don't touch it! Jas 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." If in fact God told her as she stated in 3:3, then it would seem to me she would be in transgression before eating. Your comment... "This scripture might be stretching the point, but she was now looking at the tree with desire, and curiosity can it be applied in different situations? Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." This would seem to attribute a fallen nature to Eve before she had disobeyed so it doesn't seem applicable to me. Your comment... "I believe Satan went to Eve, as the weaker vessel, knowing he stood a better chance, than with Adam. Jas 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed." Can we actually apply this passage to this? Would it be true if we are dealing with lust in the heart of Eve then she was fallen even before satan appeared? Same as above, it seems to attribute a fallen nature to Eve before the transgression. Your thoughts? And thinks for the post! It's interesting working through this and the differing views and thoughts are good to work through. I've always found the first three chapters of the word interesting and I love trying to understand it all! Steve |
