Is Adam and Eve to be blamed for eating the "apple"?

Question

Look, you put a young man and a young girl together in a garden. Have them naked. There are no body else around, no peepers. Fill them with burning desire. And tell them "you shall not fock" and expect them to twiddle their thumbs all day, everyday? And when as expected, they fock you blame them and chased them out of the garden so that they and their descendants have to carry an original sin and have to suffer hereinafter though no fault of their own?

Answer 1

One wonders what kind of an idiot would put a tree in a Garden with humans in it and tell them "Don't touch it." In this one act, God displays himself as the paragon of complete idiocy. To say nothing of his psychotic, out-of-control, totally nonporportional response.

Answer 2

Weather they should be blamed, or not, It seems that everybody does. And never ever were they told not to fock, as you put it. The original sin was disobedience. They were chased out of the garden because the garden was a place of eternal paradise. With a sentence of death, they could no longer live there. Because of the knowledge they attained (of good and evil), many of mankind followed evil. So in a manner of speaking, evil came into the good creation of God by disobedience, and its here to stay until the last day. Good also continues in Gods creation. We can't have one without the other. And mankind continues to disobey God through all the generations, and will, until the end of the earth age. To disobey is the original sin.

Answer 3

OH HAPPY HORSESHIT.

I'm not some mamby pamby christian who is afraid to tell off someone who is pigheaded. You are pigheaded.

#1 the bible does not tell us the fruit was an apple.

#2 God made them male and female to have children.

#3 They were naked and it didn't matter until they ate the "fruit"

#4 You think the descendants got a bad deal? What about the animals? They didn't sin, they aren't descendants of Adam & Eve. They get sick and die. Imagine what it is like to be a zebra on the African plain and have a lion drag you down. Those big sharp claws digging into you. That monstrous jaw clamping around your throat squeezing the life out of you. Still think you got the worst deal??? I DON'T THINK SO!!

#5 In spite of what you think of God, He was willing to rescue mankind from its sinful, selfish nature by paying the supreme price. He allowed some real nasty, hateful people to butcher him with beatings and pound nails into him so he could have the right to reclaim humans from the sin they fell into.

#6 Be kind enough to go read the bible before you try making any more comments like the one above, it shows how little you know and makes you out to be a sarcastic fool.

Answer 4

First of all, we don't know that the fruit the ate was an apple. The Bible doesn't mention the name of the fruit they ate.

Secondly, Eve was convinced by Satan who took the body of a serpent to eat the fruit. He told her that if they ate the fruit, they would be just like God, and that God didn't want them to eat the fruit because he didn't want them to be like him. The following is Genesis 3:1-7
_________________________________________________
Now the serpent proved to be the most cautious of all the wild beasts of the field that Jehovah God had made. So it began to say to the woman: “Is it really so that God said YOU must not eat from every tree of the garden?” 2 At this the woman said to the serpent: “Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat. 3 But as for [eating] of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘YOU must not eat from it, no, YOU must not touch it that YOU do not die.’” 4 At this the serpent said to the woman: “YOU positively will not die. 5 For God knows that in the very day of YOUR eating from it YOUR eyes are bound to be opened and YOU are bound to be like God, KNOWING good and bad.”

6 Consequently the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was something to be longed for to the eyes, yes, the tree was desirable to look upon. So she began taking of its fruit and eating it. Afterward she gave some also to her husband
when with her and he began eating it.

Answer 5

First, I'd say that's not exactly how it happened. The lord said to be fruitful and multiply, so "focking" was not the sin. "Focking" was not eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Second, I'd say no, I don't think it was their fault. The Devil has been tempting and tricking humans for all time. WE are simply the Lord's innocent creations, and He loves us. The Devil likes to deceive us and tempt us, because it hurts the Lord. It was not Adam and Eve's fault, it was the Devil's fault.

That's just what I think. Good luck my friend. God bless you.

Answer 6

God did not tell them not to have sex. That's what be fruitful and multiply means. They didn't have children until they were kicked out of Eden, and the sin they committed was eating the one trees fruit that they were told not to eat.
It didn't say it was an apple, it didn't even say that it was red. This wasn't said, because it is not important. The important thing is that before their fall, man had the gift of eternal life. They were naked, because like the animals, they had no shame, and were told to be fruitful and multiply. They were enticed to eat from the tree of good and evil by satan. They were not told to not eat from the tree of life that was also in the center of the garden, because man already had eternal life. That's why when they ate the tree of good and evil's fruit, they knew that they were naked, and because they already had eternal life, man had the attributes of God Himself. That's why He told them that as part of their punishment, they would die in their day, and He blocked off the tree of life. God came through Jesus to show man how he could once again reclaim eternal life.
To answer your question, Adam and Eve are to blame for man losing his eternal life status in paridise, not for eating an apple or fruit, but for sinning against God Himself.

Man continues to die, because we are still in the day of man. To have eternal life, we must follow the example that the word of God, Jesus set.

Answer 7

Eating the apple had nothing to do with that.In fact it never says it was an apple.It says the fruit of that tree(the tree the knowledge of good and evil).The whole thing was about obeying God as part of showing your love to Him.He could have made them like robots and programmed them"No touch".but he gave them free will.You can't have love with out the ability not to love.It's sort of like "I give you all this paradise,have at it,name stuff have a ball,but to show your appreciation,just lay off that tree,that's all I ask.What! you couldn't even thank me by leaving it alone!Alright try it out in Satan's world where you have to kill and toil and sweat to eat and live.Don't worry I'll send someone to straighten it out(Jesus) in a couple of days(The bible says "A day with the Lord is a thousand years ,and a thousand years but a day to the Lord")

Answer 8

Before Eve took and ate the forbidden fruit they were not ashamed of their nakedness. They were flawless individuals, still sinless and in complete union with a perfect, holy God. The thought od sexual desire wasn't even heard of .

It wasn't until they partook of the forbidden fruit that their eyes were opened and they realized that sin has entered them. Once sin entered them, they were no longer in union with God and were now separated from Him. Thus, sin entered the world and mankind never was the same again until Jesus came along.

Answer 9

I think you are quite mistaken. Sex was God's idea and His creation. He INTENDED men and women to have sex (within the context of a committed marriage relationship).

God's command was not to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. In other words, until they did this, Adam and Eve only knew good. God wanted to spare them having to know what evil is. When they chose to disobey God's command, they were choosing to put their own wishes over obeying the God who created them. They wanted to be the gods of their own lives and do things their own way. He let them, but there were consequences to their disobedience. That is why they were sent out of the Garden.

They were NOT removed for having sex. Having sex in a committed marriage relationship, one man, one woman for life, is not at all a sin and in fact is encouraged by God.

Answer 10

I believe that they sayit is Eve's fault. She ate the apple, and them tempted Adam. Thus women are doomed to the pain of childbirth, to pay for the sin of Eve. Well I don't know if I believe that or not, sounds very male-influenced. But that is how it is.
