Eve Added to the Word of God ..... ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”

[GeneZ]

And the woman said to the serpent...​

​

“We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree​

which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor ​

shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ” Genesis 3:2-3​

Eve added to the word of God. The command from the Lord never stated, "shall not touch it."
They were only forbidden to "eat" the fruit.

To the disdain to those who always see insight as something to be disdained when it was not their insight?
This is how the Lord opened my eyes to understanding why Eve said what she did...

Adam and the woman peacefully shared many happy idyllic days together in the Garden.
Lounging around without a care. Having sex innocently whenever it moved them...
And always having food supplied for them day and night.

They knew no fear of need before the fall.

All the while..

Satan observed and studied them by watching their pattern of behavior.
One day he noticed that the woman was being intrigued by the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil.
She may have spent many days walking by it and observing it it..
Some call it.... "female curiosity." Its a psychological term that psychologists have done studies about.

Well then............... ( I wonder what heresy this one will fall under)

Back in the Garden.

One day while observing the fruit on the tree out of sheer curiosity she reached out getting her hand closer as to see how the fruit feels to touch.
Adam who was observing her, shouted out.... "DON"T EVEN TOUCH IT!!!!"

And there we have it. That is how she got she was not to even touch it.

I must say much to the disdain of those who hate thinking with what the Lord has given us in writing to think with?

‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”​

That is how she ended up adding to the Word of God!

Satan after observing her naïve innocence and curiosity with the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, chose her as the obvious one to tempt...
After all she was close to the tree when the serpent approached her

And so.. (here come the haters again)

Again...

God wants us to mature in knowledge as to be able to gain insight given to us by means of the filling of the Spirit.

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, ​

so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, ​

filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God." Philippians 1:9-11​

Note what that says....

Such growth in knowledge? When its accurate in understanding? Causes love to abound more and more in the believer.

Its not some cold, calculating, intellectual methodology when insight comes from God!

Meaning.. Your love for the Word should not be motivated by some religious sense of duty simply to memorize Scripture.

Those who study that way? Academically, not in the Spirit? They will react and hate insight because they will project their own deficiency in understanding unto the one having insight..

And, thus? Will be judging themselves as they judged another.


In spite of it all.... The Lord wins every time. And, for that reason?

There comes a point when one must just speak the truth in love, and let the chips (on someone's shoulder) fall as they may.

grace and peace....

I took this as a Adam's inability to teach her.

Interesting.... is that what they taught you in the briefing?

Who taught what using underwear?

It seemed obvious.

Only Adam heard the command, so it stands to reason what Eve repeated to the Snake was what Adam told to Eve. So in a sense, Adam simply wasn't a good teacher.

Notwithstanding, Eve wasn't named yet, since she hadn't yet become the mother of all living.

Have you not noticed the difference between what Adam was commanded?
And, of course Eve was told the command by Adam...
And, what she added in addition to the command as it was originally given?

Here was the command God gave Adam.

​

Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. ​

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely ​

eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that ​

you eat of it you shall surely die.” Genesis 2:15-17​

Do you see anywhere God commanding Adam not to touch anything?

He was only told not to eat.
Eve added to the word "shall not touch."

​

And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the ​

garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has ​

said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ” Genesis 3:2-3​

​

​

Many do not notice that change she made to the command..

grace and peace ..............

I think it is bad logic to assume that because God is not quoted as saying, "...nor shall you touch it" that Even was adding to the word of God, when she claimed he told them that. We simply do not know.

I totally noticed the change, and it was based on what Adam told her.

Eve added to the word of God.

And GOD tells us to: 2 Corinthians 6:17 Therefore “Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.” which is the word of GOd which is also what she said.

The fact that we are ignorant about whether we have a short shortened version of HIS word in the command as Adam spoke it which Eve expanded for us in accord with HIS later revelation doesn't give up the liberty to castigate her without due process...

 

[GeneZ]

That is bad logic..

She did not say... "God told me." Which would have to be the case to make your case.

She was merely repeating something she was told by Adam passing down the command... Like you learn something in Church.

She was told by Adam... who added something that Adam felt needed to be emphasized.

Truth when found is so refreshing to the soul.

Sorry, but, that is assumption. We really do not know all that God told them.

I agree about truth found. But when one's soul is supposedly, or felt to be, refreshed, it is no indication of whether something is truth or not. Again, we are told some, and we don't have warrant to say that we are told all, that God told Adam.

 

[GeneZ]

If it were to be done only the way you demand it to be done?
This verse could not be in the Bible.


And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more
and more in knowledge and depth of insight."

Philippians 1:9

And, everyone would all believe and understand the same things....
And, no one would have to think.

Wait, what? The tree of the knowledge of good and bad was unclean? Who said? How could God declare all he did was good if the tree He planted was bad?

Just the same.. The Lord never commanded either Adam or the woman not to "touch."

Only Adam was told not to eat... No mention about touching said anywhere.

Eve added to the word.
And, we are warned not to add to the Word....

So, do not add to the Word, please.

Paul added to things Jesus never said or taught in the Bible .

 

[GeneZ]

Paul added to things Jesus never said or taught in the Bible .

You just placed Eve on the same level as Paul?

Never seen any commentary say that.
You should write a book!

Apostles by God's delegation WROTE parts of the Word of God by direct revelation by means of the Spirit.

Eve was in the same class of believer?

Come on, Civic.

 

[TedT]

Prove this statement, please...or accept you are indulging in the black swan fallacy that no evidence for a contention proves the contention to be false.

 

[TedT]

Wait, what? The tree of the knowledge of good and bad was unclean? Who said? How could God declare all he did was good if the tree He planted was bad?

In keeping with standard biblical usage of the metaphor of eating to express experiencing something to understand it, Rev 10:8-10, it wasn't the knowing the difference between good and evil that caused any problem as such knowledge was necessary to live with GOD but the eating of that knowledge, the experiencing of that knowledge by ingesting and proving it by the practical method of choosing to sin to see if the warnings were true, ie, to test GOD or to rebel against HIS definitions of the reality of the natural and consequences for sinning.

You may reject that GOD creates evil people by having them to be created sinful in Adam but it is obvious that HE did create a not good in the garden if you accept that Adam was created in the garden because HE tells us straight out HE did it this way:
Genesis 2:18 The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.” Berean Standard Bible
The very good spoken of later was only possible because GOD fixed the not good situation HE had earlier created. Was this not good a part of HIS creation or did Adam introduce it into GOD's plan? I think that Adam's seeking to find his suitable helper among the animals gives us a clue that Adam's being alone and out of step with God was his fault, not GOD's, even before he ate.

 

[GeneZ]

Prove this statement, please...or accept you are indulging in the black swan fallacy that no evidence for a contention proves the contention to be false.

You have debating gimmicks..... Good for you.

I want normal thinking people to dialogue with.

Prove me wrong.

 

[Diserner]

Interesting points.

I've seen people make a REALLY big deal out of this, and say it was some incredible crime.

But to me, it shows how Eve was reinforcing to herself how bad sin was, and really taking away all excuses.
