| The Adam and Eve thing is so misconstrued. "Eating the fruit" is not code for having sex. The serpent tried to convince Eve that God was deceiving her. It tried to tell her that she could have power and equality with God and that He was just tricking her into not taking advantage of it just to keep humans below Him. Eve's sin was believing this. It was her failure to trust God, her covetousness of things that God had not provided, and her pride and arrogance to want to compete with God that condemned her. It was her choice and she made a bad one.
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6 |
