Thr way I percieve Eve is changed forever
-
NAME INFORMS CHARACTER AND QUALITIES
WE EVEN HAVE SOME REMAINING CONCEPTS FROM THAT LIKE "DON'T SLANDER MY GOOD NAME" ETC
-
JUST MAKING NOTE THAT SHE ONLY GETS NAMED EVE ONCE SHE HAS CHILDREN BECAUSE EVE MEANS MOTHER, AND BEFORE THAT ADAM JUST CALLS HER WOMAN OR ISHA
-
Ok that jusr broke reality for me
-
I MEAN UNIRONICALLY TOO
I HATE DOING THIS BUT AKSHCHUALLY THE MEME LINES UP WITH THEOLOGY HERE
HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN CHARGE AND THE TEXT IMPLIES THAT HE WAS STANDING AROUND WATCHING EVERYTHING HAPPEN TO SEE IF EVE WOULD GET BLOWN UP BY THE FRUIT OR SOMETHING AND WHEN HE SAW THAT SHE DIDN'T DIE HE WAS LIKE OH OK
AND BY THE WAY GOD IS ALSO THERE AND THEY BOTH KNOW IT
SO ALL THE CONVO WITH THE SERPENT IS NOT LIKE OOO ITS IN A PLACE OR TIME WHEN GOD ISN'T PRESENT (LMAO)
I MEAN ITS BAD
ITS REAL BAD WHEN YOU START THINKING ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCE OF IT
EVEN WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT ADAM AND ISHA ARE BASICALLY TODDLERS MENTALLY AND MORALLY
-
>isha
Is that a weird fancy name for eve orthos have
-
A LOT OF GODS NAME STUFF FROM THE SCRIPTURES IS LIKEWISE
LIKE ITS NOT JUST A LABEL BUT A REVELATION OF WHO GOD IS AND HIS CHARACTER
GOD ALSO LIKES TO CHANGE THINGS NAMES TO INDICATE THEIR TRUE NATURE
LIKE SIMON TO CEPHAS OR SAUL TO PAUL OR THE BABYLON THING WHERE ITS SUPPOSED TO MEAN "GATE OF GODS" BUT GOD SAYS IT ACTUALLY MEANS "CONFUSION"

You're right in the main, but Adam may not have just been thinking about the fruit and its effects. He listened to his wife and ate: this tells us that he gave greater weight to his wife's words than to God's words, effectively being an idolater/hypersimp.
Adam listened to his wife, but he was not deceived the way she was - he knew better per 1 Timothy 2:14. We can almost hear him say, "if Eve shall die, I shall die with her" before he takes the first bite.
