Maurie,

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,

The passage is written as a sequence with no indication that Adam showed up. This would indeed be a major part of the story if Adam was not there with his wife as the entire sequence happened. It is one long sentence that includes Eve “seeing” the fruit, understanding the wisdom she would gain, taking the fruit, eating the fruit, and giving to her husband. There is no place that one can add that Adam only showed up when she was taking a bite. And God could certainly not charge Adam for treason as not protecting his wife if he only showed up after she had eaten.

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.

If that was true, then Eve would have had to use different grammar. For if God spoke directly only to Adam, then God’s grammar would be the singular you, not the plural you. The Hebrew grammar in Eve’s quote is plural and it is worded as a direct quote of God’s, not a secondary quote through Adam. I think it would be wise to understand Eve as having heard the words from God just as she said.

You said:

The seed of goddess worhip was there.

The problem that you have to overcome is that there is not a word given in the Genesis account that Adam was doing goddess worship. In fact if Adam was worshipping Eve as a goddess, then surely he would have protected her as his goddess. And God’s words to Eve in warning what Adam will do by his willful act of ruling over her, doesn’t make her a goddess, but a slave.

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.

The egg was fertilized with God. The sperm is humanity, not God. God doesn’t need sperm because the Spirit is not human nor tangible.
