Injustice is just one!<BR/><BR/>With regard to Adam and Eve, I've come to believe that:<BR/>1. Adam was right there with Eve and saw and heard the whole exchange between Eve and the serpent.<BR/>2. Adam did not fully know what it meant when God said "you shall surely die," because he had never seen death in the Garden.<BR/>3. When Eve ate and Adam saw no visible change in her (she didn't "die") he ate as well.<BR/>4. This did not excuse Adam's lack of leadership. He could have and should have intervened when God's word was brought into question. He was the one to whom God gave the command and he should have assured Eve's understanding and adherence to it.<BR/>5. Notice that when God came looking, He asked Adam what he had done (not Eve).<BR/>6. Notice that Adam immediately set an example for men to follow throughout the ages: he blameshifted on Eve and God.<BR/><BR/>How's that for musing?

I always notice that the text says "and the man was there with her." Hmmm... what do we make of that? My father once said he thought maybe Adam was letting her do a taste-test. You know, if she keeled, he'd refrain. If not, dig in. Something to muse about...L.L.
