God warned Adam

<< < (3/3)

David:

--- Quote from: Linny on March 06, 2008, 05:05:34 PM ---Eve knew what not to do because Adam had told her so. But also keep in mind that Adam stood by in silence as the Serpent spread his lies to Eve and she ate. In my so humble opinion, the sin is shared equally by both Adam and Eve.

Gen 3:6  The woman stared at the fruit. It looked beautiful and tasty. She wanted the wisdom that it would give her, and she ate some of the fruit. Her husband was there with her, so she gave some to him, and he ate it too.

I think this is a great lesson to husbands regarding the protection of their wives.

I also think there are some positive lessons about the way in which Adam behaved towards his wife in this situation.
By eating of the fruit also, he knew he would die.

John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her.
 Eph 528 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.
Eph 5:33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Although Adam was as guilty as Eve, he displayed all of these things in these scriptures. He loved Eve so much he disobeyd God in the full knowledge of the consiquences.
