What if Adam had refused to eat the forbidden fruit?

[Saint Steven]

Question: What would have happened if Adam
had refused to eat the forbidden fruit?

Assuming that Eve ate it and transgressed the command of God, but Adam did not.
Would she have been saved by Adam's obedience? Would humankind have been in a
fallen state as a consequence of her sin alone? Furthermore, if Adam had eaten from
the Tree of Life instead, how would that have further affected the situation.

Probably wait for Eve to die then re-marry . Man's rib will grow back so why not make Eve version 2.0 .

But you still have no clue what Eve 2.0 would do because both would be created after God created the paradise not prior to that , Adam saw God creating the animals in front of him Eve did not .

That's why Satan went after the weaker link which did not saw God creating stuff .

Adam and Eve could be alredy eating from tree of life prior to that it was not forbidden because they were in sinless state . We have no insight if they did but they could .

True Love requires that those who adore you are not forced into it.
In many cases, that's called rape.
So as to not RAPE mankind, Adam was allowed to Sin and God made
other plans through His only Son to redeem believers.

The whole thing is becasue God prefers voluntary love over rape.
It was all planned as it happened, from the start, in the name of Love.

Yeah and what if God had created life in other planets? And we all group up someday. Let's just talk about it.

There isn't much value in conjecturing.

I’d rather daydrem about: What if I won Mega Milliins? than answer your question.

What about this?

Genesis 3:22
And the Lord God said,
“The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil.
He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also
from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”

Yea after they sinned so they will die and not live like speaking pile of dust

He may well have done it on many planets , there is no way for us to know what else he created , there would be no point is telling us since we have no way going to them in other galaxies .
Early mankind had no way of knowing God did create single cell lifeforms , and microorganisms

You fail to understand the message behind my post.

I would be interested in having an intelligent discussion here.
Maybe I wandered into a bad neighborhood.

No.

Would humankind have been in a
fallen state as a consequence of her sin alone?

Humanity is only in a fallen state when humanity sins....not because of someone else's sin.

Furthermore, if Adam had eaten from
the Tree of Life instead, how would that have further affected the situation.

He would have been immortal and I assume he wouldn't have been allowed to live with his wife as she would be kicked out of Eden and it was Adam's job to take care of the garden.

What about this?

Romans 5:12
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin,
and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—

Sooner or later someone would have sinned, I think.

The last part is what I was talking about, "because all sinned"

Well Eve sins in that scenario. They just wanted to know what would have changed if Adam didn't sin but Eve still did.

First off this would mean Adam truly Loved God more than he loved Eve, but how did Adam obtain such a Godly type Love without first sinning?
Adam had been with Eve long enough to say Adam was "with" Eve which denotes a oneness with Eve.

Not possible.....the Man aways eat after the Woman. This is a story of the way back to eden....Not just how we left......If anything were left out or rearranged, we would not know the way back.....

If Adam had not sinned, He would have been Christ to her. There were no other men no other women. The loss of either meant they would be utterly alone. Adam had experienced being alone. He would be alone if He did not sin but not utterly alone. She would hate him for being a living contradiction against her. He would have to love her through that hate like Christ did us. She would have to accept salvation. He would have saved his generation of being born in sin. There would only be personal sin.
