Bible Question: Did Adam and Eve know the meaning of the word evil before biting into the forbidden fruit? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Wonbyone... Any answer would be speculative. However, Paul gives us some insight when he wrote, "And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." (1 Timothy 2:14) Even though deceived, I would say it was fairly clear that they understand what it was to obey or disobey. The question they answered was, "Who will be the one lay down the rules?" The consequences of their decision has been more horendous than we can realize, for in this act of our original parents, sin was imputed to all humanity. By the way, that question is the same question that we must answer each and every day. There is only one right answer, and anything else is evil. In Him, Doc |
