Mark,

Perhaps this is deliberately done by the author to emphasise a point. I noticed you didn’t discuss this in the video Cheryl. Should we assume in your view Cheryl that God didn’t say what Eve quotes in verse 2?

Mark I think you misunderstand me again. I am not saying that God didn’t say those words to Eve. I am saying that Eve quoted God. She didn’t paraphrase Him by saying “God told me” she simply said “God said” and she quoted exactly what he told her. I believe her. Do you have any reason to charge Eve with sin. I think that you should have a look at clip number 4 to get the full picture. It may clear up any misunderstanding that you may have about what I am claiming.

It is also interesting that Eve follows the serpents lead by referring to Yahweh as ‘God’, not ‘Lord God’. Is this perhaps another subtle insight by the writer? Maybe it is discussed in later videos and i’m getting ahead of myself.

God wasn’t called by Yahweh God until much later in the history of mankind. Eve did not know this term.
