Cheryl, you put up a straw man. I did not say God gives permission and then withdraws it. I said God can make exceptions and that not all exceptions are necessarily recorded in every place. My example was to back up my own point, not to answer your straw man.
You seem to be arguing with me about Adam’s motives. Bottom line,
Adam sinned. I never said Adam’s sin was not willful. I don’t have anything at stake with his motives.
You brought up Hosea to refute my suggestion that Adam was influenced by his wife to take the fruit. Another straw man. Being influenced by his wife (I did not say coerced. I did not say she begged him.) did not make him guiltless. He willfully sinned. I am not saying, I never said, he did not sin. Please note that I said it SEEMS Adam was influenced by his wife. That is what it seems to me. It may not seem that way to someone else. Adam took the fruit his wife gave him, not one he plucked himself. Being influenced by someone else doesn’t absolve a person’s guilt. I was not saying one way or the other about the state of his heart. I don’t know why you think I was. I must have touched a nerve there without realizing it. Please don’t misunderstand me. That has nothing to do with my contention that you are making an assumption when you say that scripture is bound to record in chapter one the exception to what was edible. We disagree.
Are you saying aquatic plants are not edible because they are not upon the face of the earth?
Pinklight, I take the phrase that Adam “was not deceived” to mean that his sin was willful.
Don, my point was precisely that scripture does not contradict itself. So we look at all of it, not parts.
