I rather ask this in the philosophy section couse its more of a romantic thing than religus. I know its God above all else and i agree with that, i red some years ago "Paradise Lost" by Jonh Milton and in it it depics Adam's decition after he saw Eve and the bitten apple, of how he felt confuse and sad, in the book he decides not to betray God but rather to remain with Eve.
I dont think i could ever pass a chance to remain in paradise...but hey thats just me, doe i could understand how much he love Eve.
What do you think? What would you do if you were in his place? A love one for the loss of paradice, or be true to God?

Think about it ...
If Adam had remained faithful to God, he could have made a new wife for him to remain in paradise with. He needed to have faith & appreciation for God to remain faithful. They both made huge mistakes, but that isn't going to keep future faithful ones from ever experiencing the life originally intended by God! Notice what the Bible teaches about the future ...

First of all, the apple in the story is a metaphor. Second, a definition of paradise is absolute and complete bliss.
Love or paradise? What if Juliet died, and Romeo was still alive ... I am sure he would fall in love again and get married to another woman and live happily ever after with her.
Paradise, to those who believe is never ending, whilst love has its limitation on this earth and is not eternal.
I am sorry but those are the facts.

Though it would break my heart to see a loved one banished, my loyalty would remain to God. He's the all powerful one, and he loves me more than anyone else could. A short separation from a loved one would be nothing compared to eternal separation from God.

one twas no apple mentioned in bible.
second had adam not eaten of fruit of tree ofknowledge good and evil then sin would have stopped there......
Satan's plan would have failed....Eve would not have been lost to Adam nor sin come upon world.
Sin came when Adam partook of fruit offered by EVE........
Adam could have redeemed her by obeying GOD>>>
don't eat...............

always follow your heart, or you will regret it. paradise would be hell without the person you loved.
