Did Adam or Eve?

[Anthony]

Adam allowed Eve to eat the fruit. Adam was there standing and watching. He is just as much too blame as Eve. Sin is not always in the doing, it is also in the allowing something to happen.

I think it's also worth noting that their eyes were not opened until he ate.

1 Tim 2:14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression

Eve was decieved... Adam was not... ergo Adam's actions came not from deception but from willingness. Therein lied the admittance of willful sin.

Also, the entire race had not sinned originally, just Eve. When Adam sinned, it completed the entry of sin to the race. [/B]

Quaffer

Their eyes were opened to the fact that they were helpless without God.

Could we have been saved? if there was no sin?

Doesn't sin have to exist in order for us to learn the lessons of sin?

 

[paulewog]

That question went over my head, Anthony what do you mean?

Sin does not "have to exist" for any reason, really....

Before Adam and Eve sinned, there was no NEED for salvation.

 

[Anthony]

God knew we would sin, if it wasn't Adan & Eve, it would have been someone else. God planned for man to sin, and the salvation to remove it. Not that God wanted us to sin, but he knew we would.

Umm, thats a good one, I can't wait to here the answer.

My guess would be that Adam was a man, and as such was supposed to be the leader of the "family", in eating the fruit, he took the sin on himself since he should have questioned where it came from.

Thats the best I can do.

I have another question, this is more opinion though. Do you guys think the fruit they ate exists in todays society? I personally think that it no longer exists and it was so special because only one tree held it.

 

I like your avatar. I like the Megaman stuff too. Forte (or Bass) is my favorite, but I like Zero too. X is ok.

Eph says..

We wouldn't need to be saved from a sin we didn't commit...We would have stayed with God..and not been seperated from him in the first place...! Thus as I see it...salvation wouldn't have been needed..!

Anthony asks...

Doesn't sin have to exist in order for us to learn the lessons of sin?

Eph replies..

Not if your with God who can teach you about it...!

Better put your question would be worded.."exist in HUMANS"...Since Lucifer "sinned" and fell..and is now referred to as Satan..We could learn lessons from God about sin using satan as an example....and not have to actually experience it in order to know or learn about it..!

Whew..my brain is heatin up after that one...time to put on the "cool shades'...!

 

[HolyGuardianAngels]

The bible says that thru one man sin entered the world and thru one man sin was paid for. This is refering to the man Adam and the man Jesus.
But Eve was the first to sin. So why say thru Adam and not Eve?

GOD isn't kidding . . .
EVE sinned and lied and sinned some more . . .










Happy Easter

Maybe Adam should be blame more as the bible say.In 1 Timothy 2:13 - 14 show why Adam should be blamed more then Eve

It's not entirely Adam and Eve's fault. It's Satan's fault.
He tempted Eve(and "man" refered to the human race), and even today humans give in to the temptation.
