349, I don’t think having a ‘track record’, i.e. multiple sins, was necessarily what got Adam in hot water. It seems clear to me that it only took one sin to be in hot water; it just so happens he had several. I don’t see God mentioning or referring explicitly to a track record, but rather, simply, to sin.

truthseeker,

I agree. And I was using the words “track record” because Adam continued in rebellion by blaming God and his wife.

You say, ‘…having been deceived one time (sin once)’. Are you classifying Eve’s deception as sin?

Yes.
