As i post the scripture(s) of the Apostle Paul AND of the LORD Himself speaking, if it does not hit you immediately, let it digest
.
There are 3 witnesses to Adam not being present
1.) Genesis 3: 1-6 = Only the Serpent and Eve are engaged and mentioned. Adam only comes into view when Eve brings him the fruit.
2.) Apostle Paul understood this and wrote: 1 Timothy 2:12-14
And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
And Adam was not deceived,
but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
3.) the LORD confirms that Adam was not part of the conversation between the Serpent/Satan and Eve
Genesis 3:9-17
Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where
are you?”
So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
And He said, “Who told you that you
were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”
Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave
to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”
And the Lord God said to the woman, “What
is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
So the Lord God said to the serpent:
“Because you have done this,
You
are cursed more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And you shall eat dust
All the days of your life.
And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
To the woman He said:
“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
In pain you shall bring forth children;
Your desire
shall be [e]for your husband,
And he shall rule over you.”
Then to Adam He said,
“Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
NOTICE the CORRECT ORDER of EVENTS as given by the LORD Himself
1st - Serpent
2nd - the woman
3rd - to Adam
NOTICE that the LORD does not mention Eve by name but HE does mention Adam by name!!!
This is the TRUTH that God laid as a Foundation for the rest of scripture all the way to Revelation.
