Subject: Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed |
Bible Note: 1 Tim 2:14 says clearly that Eve was deceived, i.e. she was tricked. To blame her disobedience as an act due to being tricked would be true, although it does not exonerate her. As such, with the bare information as we have it, Eve's sin cannot be attributed any flaw, sinful or otherwise, in her character but only to her deed; it was the act that brought her ruin. I think the same would go for Adam (cf. Rom 5:12-17). As such, I do not think one can contend that it was in her nature to disobey God, that is, to sin. It was in her nature to make choices. Finally, that God knew she would transgress did not make its occurrence necessary or inevitable. |
