What would life be like today, if Adam had taken his wife directly to God and manned up saying, “she has been tempted and is now suggesting I partake of the knowledge you forbade”.
I’ve always considered this situation to be a test. Due to the location (specifically in the center of the garden), and suggestion of enticement (having access to everything except the tree of life) and the description (the most beautiful of all things in the garden) shows God giving free will at the onset of existence.
The word temptation is defined as that which lures, entices, attracts, excites and pulls us towards a person place or thing.
According to Genesis Chapter 3 versus 4-7 we understand that Eve tempted Adam with the suggestion to partake of the tree of life. Having already been given instruction, their actions became an individual choice.
This entry is a description of the kind of man I want in my corner. Not perfection, but truly a man after Gods own heart, a man of righteous thought and actions favorable. One who will place me, not on a pedestal but will acknowledge my wrongs, not enable my actions nor partake of the negative I chose to bring that is not of good because this is the kind of woman I am and ignorance is no longer a defense.
