Hi Mark,

I am just popping in to point out two things here… I’ve been reading everyone’s comments, and today I figure I might as well comment myself 🙂

“You said about it only being the man who was banished not the woman by ‘the man’ refence in Gen3. Your view then only suggests that Adam was the only one who became like God, ‘knowing good and evil’ because this is directed only to ‘the man’. But then this is a contradiction to what is said in 3:7 where both their eyes were opened and they new they were naked. You see if it was only Adam who was banished as ‘the man’, then in your interpretation it was only ‘the man’ who became like God. Therefore Eve never sinned, nor did she suffer the consequences.”

God did not say that they would become like him if they ate, but the serpent did – the Liar.

And in regards to whether or not Adam was with Eve when the serpent approached her with a question Mark, did you know that the serpent asks his question in the plural and phrases his lie in the plural and the woman responds in the plural? The whole conversation is in the plural, it’s about “them”, both Adam and the woman. Now if Eve were alone when the serpent first asks his question, why didn’t he then ask her in the singular? (Just providing more evidence showing that Adam was with Eve when the serpent approached her).
