Cheryl, the 3rd interview was excellent as were the first two! Thank you!

You said:

“I connected it to Adam because the first one created had something that immunized him from being deceived. Eve did not have this immunity because she was created after an event that Adam alone was privy to. Knowledge of a significant event protected Adam and his knowledge should have been used to protect Eve. Adam should never have been silent and allowed Eve to be deceived.”

I’m eagerly waiting to learn what the “significant event” that protected Adam is, but in the meantime, I’m not finding scripture to support Adam’s “role” in protecting Eve. When you say Adam should have never “allowed” Eve to be deceived, you put an authority in his hands that is not recorded in the Genesis passages.

Adam was commanded to “dress and keep” the garden. “Keep” has the Hebrew meaning of guarding and protecting, granted, but the charge was to protect the garden against (logically) evil or danger. Eve would have been indirectly protected had Adam protected the garden as commanded by God, but I do not find any hint of a command for him to protect Eve. The command was given prior to her being formed.

Just my thoughts…..
