Ok I was listening to this cd called Captivating. I hate that cd it shines a bad light on men(I was listening to it while I was trying not to hate men so much).
It said that Adam was there with Eve(I don't have the verses off the top of my head) while she sinned. He just stood there and did nothing. Many churches tried to say that Adam was elsewhere. Anyway Adam didn't do anything to stop her or remind her not to. THis cd went on saying that Satan uses men to turn against women and destroy them because women are God's precious jewels and ladeda. So the devil tells men to overpower women, slave them, kill them and rape them just because women are precious to God.
Thoughts?
I hate this cd!! It's bull!

I think it's God's fault for putting humans on the planet to begin with, all we have done is ****** up the world.

Oh my gosh, dear. Throw out that CD. Talk about satan! This CD sounds like it is determined to turn women against men. Like we need any escalation of the war between the sexes!
Eve was "beguiled" by the serpent. She took the fruit and ate it, and then gave it to Adam to eat. So they both sinned. They share the fault equally. By the way, if you want some really good, fair, just and wise bible teaching, look up The Word for Today on the internet. They won't put garbage like this in your head.

Both sexes are equal in God's eyes- no matter what this CD says. Believe in what you believe to be true, not what anyone else tells you to be true.
Even if this CD says that Adam was there with her, which could possibly be the case, they both are to blame, as they were both ejected from the Garden of Eden. Doing nothing is as much sin as actually taking the fruit and eating it yourself.
God Bless

before I start, I am not blaming men or women, I am stating biblical fact.
Women were created to be man's helpmeet. Men however were given charge to love and protect his wife, to be her covering- spiritually and physically. Wherever Adam was next to Eve or away from her- She was not ministering to him so she left herself open to outside distraction and he was not aware of what was going on with her contributing to leaving her open to outside distraction. Afterwards, Eve took the fruit to Adam, at this point, he had the option (as her covering and the head) to say this is against what God has told us, we need to take this to the Lord, and he should have interceded on her behalf. Instead, he , rather than acting as the head, with the authority God had given him, he let her lead him into sin. Both Adam and Eve had a responsibility in this matter but ultimately the man, being the head is responsible for where he leads his family. If he does everything in his power with the authority God has given him, loving his wife as Christ loved the church and she still goes astray, that is between her and God. Since that time, women have been trying to overpower men and steal the authority God has given to men- wear the pants, in essence and men have been trying to take back that authority without the love , mercy and grace that Christ exemplified in His walk. Yes, women are precious to God , but so are men, we each have a role, responsibility and accountibility. Things get out of order when we step out of order of the roles God gave us, men and women!

Eve was beguiled by the serpent. She ate the fruit, and then gave it to Adam. Adam was told not to eat of the fruit, not Eve. Therefore, Eve didn't sin.
Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
It wasn't until after God told Adam not to eat that He created Eve, four verses later.
Gen 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
Gen 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
Gen 2:23 And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Romans says that it was man that sinned.
Rom 5:12 ¶ Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

What is so confusing, in the animal kingdom most males are the dominate sex, humans through taught seem to forget they are members of the animal kingdom. humans are gullible and weak and it would have been easy for Satan to confuse Eve and Adam was thinking about having sex with Eve that it made no difference to him if Eve was doing wrong. He was in love with Eve and to show his strength he let Eve live recklessly and who is to say Adam ever listen to his father or maybe he wanted to get out of that stupid garden. Did god tell Adam & Eve that if they eat from the tree of knowledage it would effect all mankind in a horrible way and did they truly understand that, they were teenagers. Did God create them smart in all aspects of life.

Yes, Adam was there. Genesis 3:6 "When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, WHO WAS WITH HER, and he ate it."
Adam's sin was one of passivity; he was the one charged with caring for God's creation, and he failed. He should have stood up to Satan with the truth, but he did not.
The conclusion that this cd you are talking about reaches is rather absurd, that out of an act of passivity comes the acts of aggression that men commit against women.
Now, I am a man. I am married. I do believe that Satan tries to turn man against wife and wife against man. I do believe that Satan, through temptation, leads men to abuse women in horrible ways. It is one of his methods to bring about destruction, hate, bitterness and, most of all, doubt of God into the world.
My thoughts, except for the scripture, which is true.

Ok, i am not a femenist. But here is how my youth minister ( a male, by the way) put it to me--
Eve ate the fruit. But Adam saw her it the fruit, and he did nothing about it. Then he ate it. I have never thought about Adam not being there, but still, they both knew and did it.
AND NO- ITS NOT GOD'S FAULT! If my mom took my friend and myself to the candy store and told us that we could have any candy except for jawbreakers because they might hurt our teeth, then let us loose with our money, and we bought jawbreakers, it would be our fault...not our mom's. She told us not to buy it. God gave us free will because he did not want us to be prisoners to him--he wanted freedom, just like Satan had the freedom to go. But, as like with parents with children, there are consequences to what we do. Just thank God that Jesus already paid those, and after we sin we aren't dead on the spot, but we can be forgiven!
God Bless!

I would have to say it was God's fault. I have talked to some Christians that have said that it was all in God's plan for Adam and Eve to fail and sin. When I was a Christian I thought it was Eve's fault but the Christians today tell me it was God's so I will go with that.

yeah that cd is wrong and straight from the devil. look the devil hates all people he will use men or women cause he know that together they are a family and a family together or marriage is a tool against jim. an idle mind is a playground for the devil for sure whether it be whomever. in your bible you will read where adam was when eve was tempted with the apple to eat in genesis. try reading for yourself and not letting anyone read for you get your own understanding aol those cds are not tht informative you will love it better.

Eve was deceived to start with . Satan told lies that made her think that she could become like God. After sinning the first time she then went and got Adam to partake of the fruit. He was not deceived. He valued his wife over obedience to his life giver, so partook of the fruit willingly thus sinning.
Adam knew that they would lose their life if they disobeyed Gods one and only "DO NOT". He new he would lose his wife because of what she had done, and chose to go with here.
It was NOT Gods fault, and he DID NOT plan it. We were created with free will. Adam and Eve used their free will to go against Gods law.
Both men and women are equally precious in the eyes of God. He is not partial
