Cheryl,

Is it not legitimate for Eve to say “God said” if it was Adam who told her what God said- i don’t think so, it is still God saying it.

” But “God said” is either the truth and God indeed did tell her, or she lied.”

She is not lying if Adam told her what God said. You are disregarding this possiblity. It could be equally true and not make Eve a liar nor make her a sinner before the fall.

“If God would have told her only the exact same food to eat as He told Adam (He spoke to her and gave her additional foods to eat in addition to what He had said to Adam), and we ignored Eve’s claim that God said, there is still the problem of the additional information that God gave to Eve that is not directly quoted to Adam in chapter 2.”

So you believe Cheryl that God gave Eve some ‘extra’ information, is this correct? Can you explain more for me what you mean by this.

“It isn’t natural at all unless one assumes that God wouldn’t stoop to speak to a woman”

This is barely worth commenting on because you know this is not what i believe. God gives instructions to 1 person all the time, to pass on to others i.e preaching, prophecy, toungues
