I am confused, Is eating of the fruit the original sin? Or disobedience to God? Or the resulting knowledge?

Question

What is the relationship of all three? Can one exist without the other? I am truely looking for a righteous answer. Peace and Love

Answer 2

Was Eve’s sin inevitable? By no means! Put yourself in her place. The serpent’s claim completely distorted what God and Adam had said. How would you feel if a stranger charged someone you love and trust with dishonesty? Eve should have reacted differently, showing disgust and indignation, even refusing to listen. After all, who was the serpent to question God’s righteousness and her husband’s word? Out of respect for the principle of headship, Eve should have sought advice before making any decision. So should we if we are ever presented with information contrary to God-given instructions. Yet, Eve trusted the Tempter’s words, desiring to be her own judge of what was good and what was bad. The more she toyed with the idea, the more it appealed to her. What an error she made by entertaining a wrong desire, instead of dismissing it from her mind or discussing matters with her family head!

Adam Listens to His Wife’s Voice

Eve soon induced Adam to join her in sin. How are we to explain his limp acquiescence? (Genesis 3:6, 17) Adam faced a conflict of loyalties. Would he obey his Creator, who had given him everything, including his beloved mate, Eve? Would Adam seek God’s direction on what he was to do now? Or would the man throw in his lot with his wife? Adam knew very well that what she hoped to gain by eating the forbidden fruit was illusory. The apostle Paul was inspired to write: “Adam was not deceived, but the woman was thoroughly deceived and came to be in transgression.” (1 Timothy 2:14) So Adam deliberately chose to defy Jehovah. His fear of being separated from his wife was evidently greater than his faith in God’s ability to remedy the situation.

Adam’s act was suicidal. It also amounted to the murder of all the progeny that Jehovah mercifully allowed him to father, since all of them were born under sin’s condemnation to death. (Romans 5:12) How great the cost of selfish disobedience!

Adam and Eve did not die physically during that 24-hour day. However, they died in a spiritual sense. Irremediably alienated from the Source of life, they began a decline into death.

After that, comparatively little is known about the first human couple. Their third son, Seth, was born when Adam was 130 years old. Adam died 800 years later, at the age of 930, after fathering “sons and daughters.”

Answer 3

Eating of the fruit was a test of man by God. He told man not to eat the fruit. When Adam took the fruit take a bite, he choose to disobey God. The knowledge that came after was one of I disobeyed.

And man has been doing it since. So really it was the disobedience by eating the fruit that caused man to realize that he disobeyed God.

Answer 4

I believe the first sin was the disobedience of God. I think that at that moment we, as pepople, realized that we are separate from God and are free to make our own decisions. Which I think makes us less fulfilled beings. We are now searching for the way back to Him, to rejoin him. Perhaps not a totally Christian view point, but it is mine.

Answer 5

I think it was the first sin. And we've been sinning ever since I'm afraid. Don't want to get into the relationship of all three. I have work to do.

Answer 6

They are all connected. God tested adam and eve's obedience. They decided instead to become their OWN masters. l believe any other human would have made the same choice after being tempted. The moral of the story is that we cant do anything on our own or else we "self-destruct" eventually. (p.s look at all the wars,etc. in history)

Answer 7

the pride of lucifer is the original sin
