Adam and Eve question.?

Question

Why does every one blame Eve for the downfall of mankind? Eve was tricked into eating the forbidden fruit, whereas Adam willfully took it. ???

Answer 1

I don't think Eve was tricked at all. Find where God tells her to not eat the fruit. Find where Adam tells her to not eat the fruit.

God told Adam, not Eve.

Answer 2

Eve was not the downfall of mankind. Eve was decieved by Satan, Adam willfully took of the fruit that is true. He did blame it on Eve but that also was a sin.

This was forordained to happen by God and His glorious intention to glorify Christ in the work of the cross, to reveal His grace and mercy and also to reveal His Holiness in hatred for sin.

even as he chose us in him BEFORE the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,

Answer 3

well you are right, Eve was decieved, however Adam who was standing right beside her to see what would happen willfully by his own choice ate the fruit that was given to him by Eve. In the record Adam recieved the blame for its through Adam that all sinned - not through Eve.

Answer 4

The scriptures say that Adam was not deceived.

They are both at fault and Romans 5:12 puts the blame on Adam.

Answer 5

What does "willfully" mean? You have to define this in such a way that Adam's act counts as willful, but Eve's doesn't.

Neither could have done other than that which they did, for both did what they because of forces moving them to so act.

Answer 6

Tricked?
Tempted and deceived is more like it. She disobeyed God by doing what God commanded her not to do.
She did this before Adam did, and furthered the disobedience by offering the apple to Adam.
Clearly, sin entered mankind first through Eve.
Therefore, blame is most often heaped onto Eve...nevertheless BOTH disobeyed and were condemned to death.

Answer 7

Both Adam and Eve were guilty of mistakes/sin.
Eve was apparently the first to be deceived. Eve knew of the 'God command' whether she heard it from God directly or through Adam, before the deceit by the serpent.
As for her being 'tricked', the serpent offered it to her, it was still her decision to obey or not obey the serpent (or God).

Answer 8

The Quran says the devil seduced Eve first and Eve seduced Adam after that.

The way I see it, since no one but God is perfect, they were bound to do it. And they did ask forgiveness and God did forgive them.

Thats according to the Quran.

Which is why muslims dont believe anyone had to die for our sins. Adam and Eve were forgiven when they prayed and asked for it. They were very sad for being kicked out of heaven anyway.

Answer 9

I don't blame either for the downfall. I blame satan. After all the flesh is weak and can be easily deceived. And satan is the master of trickery and deceit. Yes Eve should have never eaten from the tree and Adam should not have eaten either. But they were punished for their disobedience when God banished them from the Garden of Eden. They accepted responsiblity for their sin, so I don't think people should be blaming or judging what they did.

Answer 10

Eve created her own problem by adding to the commandment that God gave them. She said to the serpent that God commanded them not to eat from the tree, or even touch it, lest they die. The 'touching' part was added. Thus, as the midrash says, when the serpent then pushed her into the tree, and she didn't die, the serpent replied that God lied. Eve, unable to admit her mistake, falls for the trap.
