Bible Note: Azure, Yes you have been clear sister! And I'm working this out myself, not trying to correct :-) What I am trying to do is view this without any speculation and making no assumptions. That's why I'm hung up on the words in 3:3 God has said. One of the problems I have had in the past in trying to understand some of Genesis 1, 2 and 3 is that as you say, there is a lot of blanks so to speak. I can't help but wonder how many of those so called blanks are our own doing though because we end up making assumptions :-) Anyway, it seems to me given what we have before us that it is possible that either God told Eve or Adam told Eve. Problem is, we have no text to back up either in the way of a direct statement from them. Yet we do have text that clearly reveals Eve was told and the text says, God has said. So if we eliminate all assumptions and keep with the text, this is what we have :-) Now, what does that mean???????? Does that mean God told her directly or Adam told her directly? I don't think we can answer that from the text. And it seems to me, anything else is speculation on what she said. I really don't think, at least in my understanding, that we can attribute anything here to Eve's knowledge being inferior. I can however confirm my knowledge is inferior :-) By the way, I'm probably the one muddying the water :-) Steve |
