Mark

So pinklight,

so essentially you are saying that the command we have recorded given to Adam by God doesn’t really count, because at some other time which is not recorded, God gave them both another command which was similar to the first but with all this extra stuff? Is this what you are saying? I’m not sure whether Cheryl thinks this new command was given to both or to just Eve, perhaps she can comment? Therefore you don’t need to reconcile the differences? Why do we even bother having the command given to Adam with such a view? I think you need to better than this to reconcile your view. You have not discussed why Yahweh is dropped by the serpent and Eve, nor have you discussed the grammer of the double verbs which are used for emphasis.

This whole argument is based on theories of some conversation we do not even have recorded
