No, he was too lazy to ask where the strange fruit came from and God directed the Guilty Pair to Leave. There is no indication Adam did it out of love.

There is every indication Adam did it out of love for Eve. Eve was deceived. Adam was not. His only motivation for eating of the fruit at that point was to suffer the same fate as Eve. He could not imagine life without her and death would be preferable to separation. He got both. There is no indication Adam was lazy.

Eve was deceived. Adam was not.

That is correct, the scripture supports this.

His only motivation for eating of the fruit at that point was to suffer the same fate as Eve. He could not imagine life without her and death would be preferable to separation.

This looks like an assumption. Where do you find this in the scriptures?

As we often see the shadow of the prophetic fulfillment in the first appearance, so also we can glimpse the motivation of the first appearance through the prophetic fulfillment.

In this case, the Second Adam ‘became sin’ so that we (His Bride) might be “the righteousness of God”. (2 Cor 5:21) In that, we can clearly see that Adam also ‘became sin(ful)’ out of love for his bride.

Thanks for your insight.
