Cheryl thanks for the post.

I almost got the sniff though of a comp theology in there, especially when you contrast Jesus faithfulness to stand up to Satan verses Adam’s failure to. It almost sounded like the comp argument that Adam did not fulfill his role in protecting and guarding the garden and his wife. For example you said…

“But the first Adam had no care to expose the lie. The serpent told lies to his wife and it certainly “was not so”, but the first Adam did not take responsibility to correct the error. He remained silent and in silence he allowed the lie to stand without opposition.”

Surely Eve knew the lie aswell if God had given her the direct prohibition as you claim. Why couldn’t she ‘correct the error’? And what exactly is Adam’s ‘responsibility’, i thought there was no headship in the garden?

Just food for you to think about in your descriptions. The rest of your article i found helpful though, thankyou.
