Actually, no. God does not hint at responsibility. God does not play with us with insinuations but tells us outright our responsibilities.
”Finally regarding Hosea 6:7. You said that God calls Adam’s sin treacherous, but have failed to show 1 verse which explicitly has God saying ‘Adam’s sin was treacherous. The prophecy is targeted at Israel not Adam, so to emphasise Adam as the primary interest is wrong.”
I don’t think so Mark. If it didn’t exist, then Adam’s treachery couldn’t be used as a reference and a comparison.
”Where is it recorded that God call her ‘woman’ and not Adam.”
That is a decent question Mark. I will ask in return, where did Adam learn the woman’s origin? There was no way Adam could know that she was ‘woman’/from-man unless God told him. Adam was only repeating in prose what God told him when God presented the woman to him.
