true ,adam was not decieved at allbut he put his wifes thoughts ahead of Gods thoughts, and the bible does say to us that we should love Jehovah God with our whole heart ,so he knew the rule was dont eat the fruit from that tree, but he listenedto eve instead. plus , because she was still alive at that point in time he must have thought ,well she hasnt died i will have some to .Quahom1 said:Actually I believe this is where God later came up with "if you love someone else greater than me, you're setting yourself up for a hard fall", type message in the Bible.
Adam knew several things:
1. Eve was lost to death
2. Eve was now alone
3. Adam loved Eve and God, but
4. Adam chose Eve over God
5. God knew Adam would
6. God knew the two would learn the lessons together, in coming back to Him
Adam was not deceived at all. He knew what he was about to do, knew what he was about to give up, yet he did it anyway.

yes, he choose to go against devine rulershipQuahom1 said:Adam knew Eve was dead. He chose to die with her. Adam wasn't thinking he or she got away with anything, Mee. He chose to become "mortal".

Thank you for helping me to sort that out, Curios Mike.![]()
The knowledge becomes evil when I try to hide it from God. When I am not hiding it from God, then the knowledge can be used for God's will....
Unless I'm moving too far away from the concept of the scripture.Does anyone care to correct me? I welcome the ideas....
Faithfulservant said:I would like to add a little twist on this.. My mother has a very close walk with Jesus Christ and everytime she receives a gem from the bible she calls me up very excited to tell me.. this is one of them.
When we read the sin committed by Adam and Eve and the curse from it...The curse to man was to toil in thorns for food and eventual death.
When Jesus was carrying the cross with a crown of thorns on His head (interesting to me that it was thorns) to His death.. He was atoning for the sins of the world which started with Adam and Eve. What did His death also bring.. The promise of eternal life. So His death was that which broke the curse that was laid upon man. We no longer live under the curse. Our sins are forgiven through Jesus Christ.
Knowledge becomes evil when we try to hide from God. What we do with the knowledge as we are hiding will further distance us from God. The end result is disassociation, which is sin, which shall result in death.....Quahom1 said:In all you do - do for the Glory of God... That is first and foremost and I suspect if we followed that command, there wouldn't be many problems with us.
I think knowledge becomes evil when we try to use it to hide or distance, or disassociate ourselves from God, might be more accurate.
