Indeed, the urge to make God guilty, without forgiveness at heart, let alone, was manifested when Adam hid under the brushes telling that he was hidding because he was naked.
God, seeing the projection, asked: how do you know you are naked.
Making God naked guilty is really the wage of sin and death in the creation of God refusing cooperation but strange satanic wishes of overtaking the forces of God.
Now the invitation to test wrong, to do wrong, is the other side of the same coin. In a sense, real men are indeed not so “righteous” as to be so much into a selfish fix and wicked associations (homosesuality) rather than a trust regarding sexuality.
Mankind suffers from a sort of spiritual PTSD and needs to dressed back the way God offered Vine leaves to Adam and Eve, but that is not sufficient to sow a new patch on old wine skin, and, ultimately, it is better to be reborn a completely different person who cares to help Christ through those He loves and who need similar help that Himself and predecessors needed, if, at all, by mere intent.
In my church I preach my self control, so to speak, or, rather I practice my self care, loving and clothing, if none are around willing to listen, at the very least, meditating and praying for His gifts in faith rather than squeezing oranges about for all they got, nipping fruits at the bud before they fulfill or fructify.
Brother and sister rivalry, first child vs. second child syndrome, and incest: I suppose Adam thought it was to be his personal place and his personal woman... after he ate the fruit of confusion, of course. Before that, it was not an issue. He could not even remember or comprehend that it was the effect of biting the fruit in lack of trust of God’s revelation. She did not see God owning the place after she bit the fruit, but she saw Adam as competition and in favor of God, and thus the fruit was given to gain a lock on a co-guilt of politics, what satan wanted in the first place, as a ploy to undermine God in Heaven, or to treat his brother’s work in contempt.
