Eve was deceived after she added her own words to God's command and Adam was not deceived but willfully sinned when he submitted to his wife instead of God. Genesis 2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die." Genesis 3:2-3 The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.'" I hope that words like: "well-deserved, can hardly be blamed, innocent, DON'T, and justify" in no way indicates that the author regards himself a better judge than God. ____________________________________________________________________________ Question: Can God be more fair in creating woman from man and making men born of women? Question: Is Matthew 5:28 sexist? "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." ____________________________________________________________________________ To those who wants to share with one another the goodness of God and the treasures in the Bible, perhaps we should get together and establish net.bible. ____________________________________________________________________________ To those who do not want to hear this subject discussed in netnews because it ruins your day, pressure those who make unsupported claims and careless slander against God and the Bible. I am quoting from the Bible instead of making claims from my own ideas. The Bible defends itself. ____________________________________________________________________________ To the 4th category - Spirit of Antichrist, which I did not want to mention earlier: a quote from the archangel Michael, "The Lord rebuke you!" ____________________________________________________________________________
