I have several questions. First, How can an unfallen woman not hear or understand correctly what God clearly said and told them. Yet, doesn’t Eve say, ” You shall not eat from it or touch it, lest you die.” Clearly, that’s not what God said. Secondly, How is it that an unfallen man can blatantly sin and an unfallen woman be deceived and all the while neither one think, before we do anything, shouldn’t we clarify and confirm with God the actual truth of the matter ? Thirdly, just as a question, why shouldn’t God be there to protect them from a Deceiver in the garden ? As God, He absolutely knew it was going down. And this has always bugged me…. How did sin come about in the deceiver ? Originally, it wasn’t there……as that’s not how God creates things. He creates things perfectly and w/o sin. And since He knew it was going to happen, why not show Lucifer (perhaps in a vision) what terrible things would happen to creation, to Lucifer and to at least 1/3 of Lucifer’s brothers ? Seems like a big mess that might have been prevented. God would have many better ways of explaining and showing and convincing Lucifer and Adam and Eve than my feeble attempts, so I wonder why He didn’t ?
