Bible Question (short): Why did Eve react like that? |
Question (full): I know and understand perfectly the account of the talking snake, I know and believe, of course, that it was not just the animal there, but a wicked spirit talking through it. But my doubt is about the Eve's reaction... I would like to know WHY she was not afraid of seeing an animal talking, so as Balaam... if we, today, saw one of those things, we'd run away immediately but they didn't, why? I read in John Gill's Exposition that good angles used to talking through animals with our original parents, so as Jewish tradition says about it, and by being accostumed to it, both (Eve and Balaam) didn't get afraid in front of an animal talking... is that right? |
