Look no matter what a salesperson offers and how beautiful it looks, if you dont trust him you wont buy. Therefore, this is an issue about trust. The bible clearly states that Eve knew God forbad eating of the fruit and said that it would be bad for her if she did. Serpent clearly promised the opposite that it would be good. Eve wanted good, but like i said, no matter what the salesperson offers it dont mean squat without trust. So the issue is trust. Why does Eve trust the Serpent?

Of course she was decieved. Yet, this is not the issue. We can be decieved by a con man. Yet, we would not be if we did not trust him. Why does Eve trust the Serpent? No answers as of yet.

She sensed that this God guy was a total asshole right from the start, so she went her own way. Maybe she regretted it then, but if she could sit today and look back on the history of humanity, I'm sure she would see even more what an asshole he is.

Eve represented the lowest end of spiritual spectrum. Anyway in the issue of trust, prior eating the fruit, Eve, like Adam, had no knowledge of good and evil, therefore, there's no way Eve could question that if she could trust the Serpent or not. We can't even said the couple trusted God. She's just simply being drawn by curiosity, and like a cat, it kills her along with Adam. Driven off from the paradise they learned the hard way. If the Serpent tries to dupe them again, I don't think Eve would fall for that again after having learned and use that knowledge as basis not to trust the Serpent.

Satan chose the woman purposefully.
1. She was alone, away from her husband
2. She was the weaker and easier to tempt
3. She was lurking near the tree forbidden to her out of curiosity instead of avoiding it (see Pro_4:15)
4. Satan tempted Eve, so that he could tempt Adam, as Job was tempted by his wife, and Christ by Peter. Satan often comes at a person from unsuspected others, esp. those that have the most interest in ourselves.
Some have stated that Eve probably entered into a lengthy discussion with Adam to convince him to eat of the fruit, but there is no evidence of this in the bible.
Instead I believe that once Eve ate the fruit and sin entered her, she then prevailed upon Adam to eat, using her position as his wife and thereby join in her sinful nature. We have seen in life how the sinful enjoy corrupting others, so this seems reasonable for me to believe. Nevertheless, Adam willfully ate even while he had been directly told by God not to do so. Adam likely had instructed Eve about God’s commandment. What a poor job he must have done!

Before that god made Adam and eve it knew they were going to eat the fruit, if you believe it to be all knowing. So when it created them it created as such that they would do that, for if he created them any differently he would know exactly what they would and wouldn't do under some other form of creation. It was by design that Eve trusted the serpent. To think it wasn't is to assume god isn't all knowing or that god did so knowingly to causing sin.

considering that i do not see the Adam and Eve tale as something better than a delusion, i will project to wager how authentic human beings might want to behave in the kind of condition... The snake, regardless of if a mouthpiece, develop right into a tangible, a probability entity. that is presence develop into unquestionable. An invisible god, on the different hand, only left messages by the "wind". very resembling the first and 2d commandment of Levitican regulation develop into meant for human beings to "keep god summary", it develop into written because the authors knew that human beings wanted gods that they could contact, see, or relate to in order to beleive in. similar is going with human beings perfect now, putting celebrities as god-like icons really of golden calves.

The serpent promised eve that if she partook of the fruit she would " be like God" She desired to be equal to God and partook of the fruit, Then having taken Evil into herself, she gave the fruit to Adam. Eve had previously only known good and therefore had no reason to not trust .

ALL LIFE IS LOST TO ALL LIFE POSSIBLE IS SAVED
For years all is perfectly prepared to Adam & Eve,
Then the anointed cherub over Eden, grasp iniquity,
As a vantriliquist he used an animal giving speach,
Called a serpent, this animal spoke to decieve Eve,
Adam had told her, don't ever touch the middle tree.
God and her husband was all she needed to listen to,
Adam had only God's word to obey as the total truth,
But Eve touched the tree and fruit and told Adam to,
He did as she said, and God's word came to be true,
If you touch the tree, you die, no one can save you.
Those born to Adam and Eve, face death as parents do,
But this is the foundation of man, one savior is true,
The first creation created, will adopt all Adam seed,
Jesus purchased God's family when he dies on the tree,
Giving all after Adam a right to decide all he will be.
Adam and Eve chose to be on their own, never ever saves,
There's no one to bring them forth from death and grave,
But Jesus as Slain Lamb and His Bride make a perfect way,
To adopt and save the Godly, before Gog and Magog's day,
Some just want to go the way of Satan, but perfect stays.
God allowed his son and his elect who's love is so brave,
To join God and Jesus to save Adam's seed from the grave,
The holy prophets tell of a resurrection of all the dead,
As in Adam, all die, even so in Christ, all made alive,
his apostles said, all believers know that Christ is head.
The world reads about the savior's plan to misunderstand,
It is not heaven & hell, but new heaven & new earth again,
God risk everything to save man, so he must created then,
All that was sacrificed, all perfect to the flood, it did end,
Thousands for new heavens, billions for earth, no more sin.

Because god doesn't talk to women, and always course his message through the male.
Ever wonder why the biblical god seems very active conversing and associating with men during the 'old testament' times; when during the virgin birth - w/c is supposed to be the greatest event in the whole of Christendom - god chose to send a messenger to relay his news to Mary instead of Him personally talking to her?

The way the Christians and Muslims demonstrate women is that they are evil and that its their fault for the suffering in the world. Although God would have created Eve to do what she did. For the scripture says he is all knowing.

You need to step away from the crack pipe. The whole Eve as the bringer of eternal sin fable is only a way to justify centuries of mistreatment of women by men.
