Adam And Eve Adam and eve did not obey god, so they died. genesis 3:6, 23. eve listened to the serpent and ate of the fruit. afterward, she gave some to adam, and he ate it. what they did was wrong —it was a sin. god made them leave their paradise home. life was hard for them and their children. they grew old and died. they did not go to the spirit world. Genesis 3:6 says, “so when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.”. the key phrase, in consideration of our question, is “who was with her.”.

What Is This You Have Done Daily Bible Readings Adam and eve did not obey god, so they died. genesis 3:6, 23. eve listened to the serpent and ate of the fruit. afterward, she gave some to adam, and he ate it. what they did was wrong —it was a sin. god made them leave their paradise home. life was hard for them and their children. they grew old and died. they did not go to the spirit world. Eve’s first mistake was to listen to satan. she should have said, as christ did, “get behind me, satan” (matt. 16:23). eve’s second mistake was to listen to satan with interest. we should never try to dwell on the words and ideas of satan. he is shrewder than we are, easily able to deceive us. Satan didn’t bother to tell eve the terrible consequences for her, her family, and the human race. he never does. satan displays his wares and then lets the attractiveness of the product lure eve to her doom. note the progression of verse 6, which may reflect satan’s sales pitch: eve “saw that the tree was good for food.”. The fact that the garden curses show a differentiation of who listened to who (i.e., eve deceived (listened) to serpent; adam listened to wife) lends itself, i think, to adam not being present. if adam was present for the deception, why would eve, and not the serpent, get thrown under the bus for being the one listened to (gen 3:17).
