Adam and Eve???

Question

Whose fault was it? Eve ate it first, but some people say that it was adams fault because he wasn't watching over her. What do you say?

Answer 1

The Bible seems to indicate that Adam was standing with her when she ate the fruit. He didn't stop her, so he was just as much to blame as she was. It was both of their faults.

Answer 2

It was both Adams and Eves fault. Eve was tricked into eating it by the serpent and Adam didn't make any attempt to stop her and ate it also after Eve offered it to him. They are both to blame, not one or the other. Anyone who believes that is was either Eves fault or Adams fault has some serious sexist issues....

Answer 3

To me it was Eve's fault that she ate the apple because she had the ability to say no. At the point that Eve ate the apple she became a sinner. It was Adams fault that he ate the apple because Eve was a sinner and he should have turned away.

Answer 4

Technically, God only told Adam not to eat the fruit. If you read the story, Eve wasn't created until after those instructions were given. Since she was never told not to by God, how is it possible that she sinned? Disobedience implies knowing the will of the person you are not obeying.

(And if you say Adam told her, well, that's not in the Bible. :-P Kind of an important point to leave out, for God not being the author of confusion and all.)

Answer 5

In the bible the fault was Eves fault. that in the old testement.
In the Koran the fault was Adam and Eves fault , Satan told them that if you eat that tree you will angels or immortals and thay both ate that tree ( which is unknown tree not apple).

Answer 6

I have answered a similar question before. Please read my 360 Blogs.

If you read Revelation it will reveal to you almost all about Genesis, Why? Because it is said there: I am the Alpha and the Omega.

Only in Revelations and Genesis is spoken about peoples and nations with the name "Creatures, or Beasts". If you read carefully, it is said in revelation that there was going to be a wedding, yes, the wedding of the Lamb. It was in this form a woman who was unfaithful in a spiritual realm, now this woman seats on people who are in the field.

That is: the snake, "subtle, intelligent, smart seductive and manipulative people" was used by the satan (the dragon and angels in Revelations) to eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil (self smart, away from God as we have it today).

This applied for men (Cain-Nimrod, Israel-Arab, Old Atlantis-New Atlantis-United States, and angels (Religions-Cults and ideologies) then as it applies in Revelations today.

Jesus was (Genesis) and is (Revelations) the tree of life, offered even after the end of times.

Yes my friends we are reliving Genesis, and Genesis was Per Se and Apocalypse that is why you find different versions of Genesis named as for example: Apocalypse of Enoch.

There have been also apocalypse at small level also in different civilizations, some in spiritual meaning, some in normal realm, as the flood of Noah, the Tower of Babel, the rise and fall of many Empires.

We are living again the major Apocalypse, Perhaps our first major Apocalypse happened with the legend of the Atlantis, perhaps was not a legend in deed, Atlantis, although it was not maybe so much a great civilization as ours today, if seemed to have come to some development, even with works on genetic alterations (rudimentary or Alien assisted) Point is today we are heading the world again to a cataclysm. Now if we are smart, and listen and eat from the fruit of life of Jesus, this time, then we could switch to the right energetic cycle of enduring life.

There are also two types of floods, The first one, as described by the Sumerians was perhaps caused by the sinking of Old Atlantis, the second, that of Noah, was whether real to the existing world, or both figurative and real, (When angels are thrown down from heaven it could be considered a flood unto us.)

Answer 7

This doesn't exact;y re;ate to the specifics of your Q, but I'd like you to take a look at it and get back to me please:


I'm glad you brought this topic up, also, because it allows me to call upon your response to the work I recently published via Xulon Press.com, “TWO BIRDS ... ONE STONE!!” [by Denis Towers], which, my experience has been, during its brief and limited exposure so far, has proven a powerful faith-promoter.
It actually illustrates, following a 9 year research into the fact – one Heavenly-inspired [I believe] – a discovery I made 10 years ago, being a long-time specialist in Kinesiology and applied anatomy, that the typical ground snake presents as the precise antithesis of Man in ALL aspects, both – anatomically-functionally and psycho-behaviorally.
For many, this has proven quite an eerie finding!
But once one has recovered from the sheer gravitating shock of this perfectly central, yet simple, discovery, it is usually immediately realized that only a true and absolute brilliant Master mind could possibly have engineered such – that such an outcome could only be the result of meaningful deliberation and conscious decision, and, therefore, that “random mutation” [per the belief of ‘evolutionary theory’] certainly wasn't 'random", if at all!!
Overall, it has proven a highly intriguing, most fascinating and enormously revelatory study.
Of course, this finding not only tends to disprove 'evolution', but it also Powerfully supports the Biblical Adam and Eve account, wherein it was the very serpent – through whom Satan (a spirit only) was able to speak to Adam and Eve in the natural world – that same serpent which first set Man in opposition to God; and it was the serpent, therefore, that God chose to “curse above all the beasts of the field” [per description in holy writ] for its trouble.
As indicated, as 'fruits of its labor', God cursed the serpent 'above all the beasts of the field' ... hence making significant changes to it (a passing few recorded in scripture).
What this study appears to show is that those changes made were so as to symbolize or represent this very act of opposition of the snake as described – an act which effectively became the most transcendent single decision and most significant event among ALL events in the entire history and progress of Man, barring the All and Most important of all – that of redemption from this very event – the Atonement of Christ Himself.
Meantime, as stated, it seems that the Creator has temporarily signified, in effect, the serpent’s complete opposition to Man and God [in whose image we were created] … so that, in typical life-ironic fashion, what has tended to be the most unbelievable account concerning Man in the entire holy record: that which claims that a snake spoke to a man (all the more so since today the creature cannot even vocalize) – has become the very one that we have most scientifically proven took place (or supported)!!!!!
… but isn’t this, though, just so typical of the genuine ironies of real life?!

It has, indeed, become a most intriguing, diabolical world since the snake expressed its opposition to Man and God.
It has, likewise, been a most encompassing, intriguing and faith-promoting study to undertake.
From the reader’s viewpoint, I have known people so inspired by the work as to read it twice in the first week or so that they had accessed it.

I personally invite you to search it for yourself, and inform me of your experience.
Thank you very much.

Answer 8

Both. She ate the apple after being told not too, but Adams as well because he is suppose to have been the "protecter" and he wasn't there.

Answer 9

If he had been watching her close enough to keep her straight, wouldn't they now call that stalking? She told satan they weren't supposed to eat from that tree so Adam had warned her. Both sinned by eating. You can only guess what she offered him if he would take a little bite!! They didn't get fig leaves until later.

Answer 10

No one's fault. Eve was the smarter. She know that in order to obey God's other command -- multiple and replenish the earth -- she would have to partake of the fruit.
