Why did the snake entice Eve first but not Adam?

Nah I'm done

I would however like to know where the male offspring are mixed in amongst the "daughters of men"
And where the female offspring are mixed in amongst the "sons of god"

Because it appears you have created two camps
One of men
And one of women
Sons of God took to themselves the daughters of men. Seth's descendants married Cain's descendants. I think generally, the line that followed God would not have allowed their daughters to marry into Cain's line. They would have protected them, while thinking it was no big deal to marry ungodly women. Solomon had this thinking. The Bible said he loved many strange women and they turned his heart from God.

This seems to be how it transpired generally, when people were unequally yoked back then. Like Ahab and Jezebel. Maybe I am oversimplifying this, but I think it is rather simple.

Ahah and Jezebel were suited to one another

Please show me in GOD's WORD where it is written that Seth who carried forward the genealogical line married Cain's daughters

You do realize that Seth can't have a son without his wife

And yet sets seed continues in the genealogical line of sons in the likeness of their father?

Cain did not carry forward the genealogical line

Neither would his offspring

Yet you have Seth marrying cain's offspring?

Ahab should never have married Jezebel. She was an idolater and she caused Ahab to go awry. He should have married a Jew. If he had married a godly woman, he might not have become a Baal worshipper and so evil. I think the Bible is pretty clear that Jezebel introduced Ahab to Baal.

What caused ahab to go awry was that he didn't know the difference between the VOICE of GOD and the voice of lying whispering spirits wgo whispered and muttered everything and anything

The reason and cause of Ahab to fall wasn't really his wife. It was because he liked the voices of lying prophets over Michaiah the man of GOD who never had anything good to say about him

/So

He listened to liars instead

Oh i thought you suggested men were more equipped for heaven than woman and woman were more equipped for earth
Because of something different in their souls

I don't agree with that

No, I didn't say that. I said IN THIS world, man is slightly more calibrated for the next. It makes sense, since both man and woman balance each other here. We are both transformed in the next.

Additionaly, for argument's sake, let's suppose that it's exactly as you understood - that man is slightly better equiped for heaven than woman. If that would be the case, would you still protest?

Why did Ahab listen to false prophets? Why did he not care about God? He was all into Baal worship in a big way. He got into Baal worship because Jezebel was a Baal worshipper.

I Kings 18:4 "For it was so, when JEZEBEL cut off the prophets of the Lord..." Jezebel has the prophets killed, Obadiah hides some of them. Ahab and Elijah have a meet up. 18:3 "JEZEBEL slew the prophets of the Lord..."

18:21 "How long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow Him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word."

Ahab is all screwed up because his wife is totally for Baal. He followed his wife rather than the faith of his fathers.

Jezebel is the one who wants to kill Elijah. After the miracle on Mt. Carmel, Ahab trots off to tell Jezebel what happened and she signs Elijah's death warrant. It's pretty clear she runs the show.

So
Do you still claim that ahah was a son of god and Jezebel a daughter of men?
Or an undecided child who did not know the difference between his right and his left

To answer a previous post "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise,
she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat." Gen 3:6

Yeah. Someone tried to twist that to mean that "with her" simply meant that GOD was trying to show us that time had past since GOD had taken Eve out from Adam and that "with her" meant that Adam and Eve had become intimate

Sorry I didn't see that section or wouldn't have posted the Scripture.

Think it means he was with her because the few words before states she ate of the fruit and the following words state he did eat.
I know. Some people still listen to the wrong voice saying :

GOD did not really say

Basically, they were kids. They didn't know anything but good and had no understanding of evil. Eve took the apple gave some to her husband and they ate it and their eyes, at that moment were opened and they had a crash course on understanding what they had done was not good

Basically, Daddy wasn't present to stop them at that very moment when they listened to the voice of another influencing them to do something that, according to that lying voice, "wasn't really wrong to Daddy. That they had misunderstood THEIR FATHER's VOICE and needed some clarification on what GOD "really said"

Read several years - don't remember the author's name

"For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." I John 2:16

At first Eve stayed with what Yahweh had said but when she began to consider what the enemy was saying, she did all 3

"And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat." Gen 3:6

To me that means that first thought about something might not be mine but just need to consistently stay with what Yahweh said. (Admit not successful all the time but with His help...).

grin that's a tricky one Henry
...i suggest that Adam wasn't some 'influenceble child, cause he was innocent' ;
he knew everything, and was so brilliant that the sumerian tablets tell that the anunna (pre-eden humanoids) were crying of fear because they had no place to flee to, because of him..

- so the Watchers used the woman to get to Adam
since he represented himsélf all of Eden ; and would hé fall, Eden would fall

you know the lizard-statues of Sumer, those snake types,
egypt has the same, calling the Watchers ÁKERU, with snake-det. ;
and they went for his inside, first - cause they knew Adam would 'implode' [since Eve was his sweet inside]

God said that adam would follow the woman, see,
because she was the 'words'['love'] , he the speaking those words [read 'to create by']
(so perhaps read, 'the serpent spoke to she the words)

good news is, it will be again like that, very soon, she being his inside again ; )

Some already don't recognize the VOICE of THE FATHER from the liar and forget of whose spirit they truly are of

And those who haven't grown up into HIM able to discern the works of LIGHT from the works of darkness will listen to the wrong voice and do what should not be done

GOD called HIS SON to gather up in HIS BODY what was taken out from Adam

Children of the world could not be born except through Adam and Eve

And those children (both male and female) are being reborn and our into the BODY of CHRIST

THAT ADAM

Born of THE IMPERISHABLE SEED A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST

And that NEW CREATION consists of both male and female
