Christians. Would our view be different if satan had approached Adam?

Question

It seems to me that Adam didn't fight falling in sin. If it were recorded that Adam had culpability in the fall would women have more equal status?

Answer 1

seems satan approached the weaker sex first.

Answer 2

What do you mean? It was Satan that approached Eve and not Adam. But it was Satan! It goes to show that man are weak when it comes to women. It is from the start and it is today. Men inherited that weakness from Adam you know. God said generations of sins don't have to be passed down; you just gotta put a stop to it with YOU. Also women NOW have beyond equal status.

Answer 3

It's all part of the plan. Have you noticed that they were naked and not ashamed before the fall? No sex until the fallen nature came into being. The attraction of man for woman is part of his fallen nature, part of the ego. So the world and human race was put into motion by man falling away from God to the woman, which brought into place the sex drive and the human race. That's why Jesus said in the new life man and woman would not marry, they would be like the angels, sexless. That's why God's seed, not man's, made a perfect son for the true atonement.

The imperfect fall of man through the woman via the devil was part of the perfect plan. It wouldn't have happened any other way.

Answer 4

Some bible scholars believe that Adam may have been standing there, or close by when the snake was talking to eve.

I think that the serpent was just a serpent, and not ever meant to be thought of as satan. In the following verse god is clearly cursing a snake to crawl on it's belly.

Genesis, chapter 3
14: The LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above all wild animals; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.

Answer 5

Satan did approach Adam first.

Answer 6

Adam partook of the apple just as Eve did, and then he tried to place all the blame on her when questioned by God. You know pass the buck. If man had eaten it first, man would be having babies, Ha Ha.

Answer 7

No. God had satan approach Eve because he wanted the male to be the stronger one who protect the woman

Answer 8

One day, God and Eve were walking in the garden. God says to Eve, "How are things going for my favorite creation?" Eve responds, "Oh God, everything is wonderful! I only have one complaint." "Oh, what is that Eve," God asks. "It's these three boobs you gave me. The one in the middle pushes the two at the sides out and I keep catching them on everything." God thinks for a minute and says, "I see your point. You were my first attempt at a human and I see now that you will do fine with only two." So God reaches over grabs the middle boob, pulls it off and tosses it over his shoulder into some bushes.

A few weeks later, God and Eve are walking through the garden, and God asks Eve, "How are things going Eve?" Eve responds, "Everything is wonderful God, I only have one complaint." "Oh," God asks, "What is that?" Eve responds, "I am lonely and have no one to talk to." "I see what you mean. I will make you a mate to keep you company." Looking around God asks, "Now what did I do with that worthless boob?"

NOW, that would have changed the status of the sexes!

Answer 9

They both screwed up. And if any one of us humans would have been Adam or Eve, we would have done the same thing!

Answer 10

this seems the wrong way round to me, i think women are better at resisting temtation than men, if you look at the cheating spouses statistics they are. I think it is just a story written by a man who wanted to tel women that if they cheated, theyd be punnished.

Answer 11

naw, gotta maintain status quo
