Adam and Eve's Knowledge

[Cutter]

God caused Christ to be born of a woman without an earthly father.

How true, but Mary still had to be born.

God's Word says "God cannot be tempted" - James 1:13 neither does God get hungry or tired or thirsty. Hence the texts I selected that point out the flaw in your position.

Your avoidance of the text - is leaving you with a bit of a problem.

The only problem I see is that you never answered my question.

I asked you if He, God, could sin? You went into a temptation rabbit trail. I know your game. I have debated with you much.

So it is you who avoids questions by posting red-herrings. My question is not about temptation, it is about actually sinning.

Here it is for the third time....

I asked you if He, God, could sin?

It is a simple "yes" or "no".

I'll not banter this topic any longer, but I will ask one more time for Cutter and for BobRyan.

I would like the scripture passages that state that Adam......

• Had to "stoop" to Eve's level to "save" her.
• That Adam's intent was to "save her through childbearing".
• That he made a "conscience choice" to "save his wife".
• That his own sin "blew up his plans for saving his wife".
• That he was acting out of "love and compassion" for his wife.
• That he was "heartbroken over what she did and in innocence, was only trying to save her."

I understand all about Eve being deceived, but I do not see anywhere in scripture where that let's Adam off the hook and automatically insinutates that he must have been this romantic hero who "stooped" to the level of his wife to save her because his heart was broken.

Just one scripture will suffice.

Those were not my claims.

• That his own sin "blew up his plans for saving his wife".
• That he was acting out of "love and compassion" for his wife.
• That he was "heartbroken over what she did and in innocence, was only trying to save her."

Cutter has already pointed to the statement of Paul that Adam was in no way deceived - only Eve was deceived. I did not mean to say that Adam was working out a way to "save Eve" - I meant to say that he wanted to avoid being separated from her.

If you have some "other idea" as to why he - being fully informed of the problem and not deceived - chose to eat of the fruit, feel free to state it.

in Christ,

I believe "scripture"

Heb 4.
15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.
16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Matt 4
1Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry.
3And the tempter came and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."
4But He answered and said, "It is written, 'MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.'"

God's Word says "God cannot be tempted" - James 1:13 neither does God get hungry or tired or thirsty. Hence the texts I selected that point out the flaw in your position.

The only problem I see is that you never answered my question

I asked you if He, God, could sin? You went into a temptation rabbit trail.

So invent the fiction of "sin without temptation" to the direct contradiction of James 1 - and then accuse me of a "rabbit trail"?

Your avoidance of scripture on these topics is not serving you as well as you seem to have imagined.



Many readers will see the significance of the fact that "God cannot be tempted" and the fact that Christ WAS tempted in all points as we are.

You are welcome to continue ignoring scripture as it pleases you to do so.

in Christ,

Bob
