I see obviously where Eve disobeyed God, but I don't see her sin any worse than many of us do every day.

Curious, gullible, yet some of the selfishness we associate with sin doesn't seem to apply here, as she shares with Adam any benifit she thinks she will recieve from the fruit.

In fact Adam comes accross as more self serving as he quickly shifts the blame.

I find it interesting too, that the first sin is not in your face defiance, but cohersion with immediate shame.

Just some thoughts!

Eve was just like most humans and assumed she had the ability and the right to question her creator. I don't know where people get off. That is how Satan deceived her. He introduced into her mind the idea that she had the capability of judging God. “Has God indeed said,". And if he said it he really didn't mean it. 'you really won't die'. She rejected God's sovereignty and truthfulness. And this is out of somebody that had the priviledge of Christ coming and walking in the garden with them everyday. People are arrogant, the sin of Satan.

Then she entered the blame game instead of taking responsibility for her own thinking. Another thing Satan is good at,,,the accuser of the brethern.

Man and woman were designed to rule over the earth. Part of the consequences of sin was her becoming subject to the man's authority and 'your desire will be for your husband'. Women's focus remains on their man. Men's focus is their work.

Why not use Sarah as your example. Of all women in the bible she was closest to the ideal.

Hi Princess Ellie,

How about doing an internet search on Eve, and then writing down your sermon?

I'm sure there are a lot of cool and insightful websites about Eve.

Try typing 'who is Eve in the Bible' or something like that in your search box?

Sending love and blessings back!

p.s. There were other good posts here, I just happened to be writing and submitting mine the same time you all were! That happens sometimes -- we all post at the same time BEFORE we get to read what others wrote... so I just wanted to say good insight all! And, yes, I agree "the ye old shift the blame game" started in the garden. Eve blamed the snake, Adam blamed God and Eve... all were punished equally by God.

Here's that same thought in a humorous way:


God blamed Adam,

Adam blamed Eve,

Eve blamed the snake,

And of course he didn't have a leg to stand on!
