Hi Cheryl, yes I have given a lot of thought to it.

“Adam was with Eve when she was being tempted”

The verse doesn’t really say that Adam was with her while she was being tempted. It doesn’t say when he showed up exactly, just that he was there when she took a bite, and when she didn’t dies (Adam thought it would be immediate) he took some.

“Also it isn’t possible for Eve to be quoting Adam since the grammar she used is a direct quote of God. Eve said “God has said, “You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die”. If Eve was quoting Adam directly, she would have said “We shall not eat from it or touch it…” The “you” is plural showing that God spoke to both of them. Although God’s words are not quoted directly except through Eve’s words, we can know that she did not lie when she quoted God. God did not accuse her of lying about Him or misrepresenting His direct words.”

I meant that when Adam taught her about God’s command, HE Adam probably added and don’t even touch it, Even understanding that to be part of God’s command.

“The Bible also describes Adam’s sin as treachery, Hosea 6:7. He does not describe Adam’s sin as goddess worship and this surely would have been identified by God if it was indeed true.”

The seed of goddess worhip was there. I didn’t mean that it was full-blown, but it is a fact that from earliest times, Nimrod right through to Revelation, goddess worship is there. Ishtar (Easter) Aprodite, Diana, Artemus, Venus, Freya……..they are all the same. Led vile rituals of temple prostitutes, ritual sex, and nine months later, the sacrifice of the infants conceived. It was this that God wanted Israel to wipe out in Canaan, a major trade route, to help prevent the proliferation.

“Also God didn’t need to use sperm when Christ was formed in the womb of Mary, since sperm is a human term and Jesus did not have a human father.”

Did God use Mary’s egg? What did He use? How did He fertilize it? We must remember the man Jesus, our Lord, is both fully divine and fully human. In my opinion, her egg was pure, and God simply provided a pure, sinless sperm to fertilize it. This takes nothing away from sonship nor divinity.. The Eternal Son was incarnated into this perfect body, like Adam’s original body (Jesus is the second Adam) God is still the Father and the Holy Spirit was in Jesus without measure, the Three in one. Therefore, He was a physical descendant through Mary, a legal descendant through Joseph, and the Son of God proven by His resurrection from the dead with a CHANGED body which we know has astounding physical properties: solid, yet instantly auto-transportable even through closed buildings. Wounds which remain open to see, touch and penetrate. (Thomas)
