Dave,

Also, if we only go with the command given to Adam, then why could Eve not eat of the fruit? It would be adding to the command to say Eve could not as it was only directed at Adam. Surely she had to have been told by God or at least God must have given further instructions to Adam to pass on that we are not told about. God never said to Adam to tell Eve about it, to tell Eve that she shouldn’t according to chapter 2.

Excellent point! If Mark wants to disavow any conversation that is not directly quoted by Moses, then he is in a conundrum since he has no direct command for Eve not to eat the fruit except for Eve’s testimony using the plural “you”. Puzzling indeed and a hole that I don’t see Mark climbing out of.

I was referring to Exodus 20 and Exodus 34. My point is that not all the commandments are the same. There are two new tablets and the covenant is renewed and some of the commands are the same, and there are 10 commands…but they are not all the same. So, was there something God said regarding the “law” that we are not told about? Or do we assume that Moses is decieved and got the second lot wrong? Or is there more info we do not have? Or is our understanding of the law fundamentally wrong?

Excellent point one that I will have to remember! Thanks!!!

As I cannot view the videos I can only involve myself in the conversation at a level that the discussion makes appropriate.

I do hope that you will get to watch them eventually. If there is something that I have missed responding to, then perhaps it will be pointed out to me.
