"I believe that Adam was deceived because he saw that when Eve ate the apple nothing happened - so he doubted what GOD had said - that they would die if they ate the apple."

It was Satan that put doubt in God's Word. The first recorded words of Satan are, "Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"

According to the Scriptures, Eve takes the heat for the transgression.
1Ti 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
1Ti 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

You are very correct - it was satan's suggestion that caused Adam and Eve to doubt what GOD had said. My Pastor always says, "words are seeds" - they're spoken either in faith or in doubt.

But .. the point I was trying to make was the fact that a husband and wife are ONE .. and while Eve had been deceived and ate - nothing happened until her husband got in agreement with her by taking a bite of the apple himself.
