Pinklight,

Problem is Mark, the reason why she could not have misquoted God’s command given to Adam in Gen 2 is because when God speaks to Adam the “you” is singular and logicaly so. But when Eve quotes God she quotes God with the plural “you” since she is not quoting what God told Adam singularily as she wasn’t even created yet when God gave him the command, since there was no way for her to know what God commanded Adam. If she wanted to quote what God told Adam then she would of had to use the singular “you”. And the serpent did not even ask Eve what God commanded the man in the singular “you”. The serpent asked what God said about the both of them because the serpent too uses the plural “you”.

Excellent reasoning from the Scriptures! Bravo!! This is an excellent example of how one reasons from the inspired grammar and follows it through to its logical conclusion in the text.
