No evidence? It says "she gave to Adam and he did eat" - which means he was standing right there. One thing I have learned is that the Bible can be discerned as much by what is said, as by what is not said. It doesn't say, Eve went to Adam and he did eat - it says she gave - which has to indicate he was there.

Most people don't want to see this because they don't want the implication of being responsible for what happened; it's just so much easier to blame the woman!!

And ... my Pastor IS RIGHT ON!!!

yes dear, of course. so sorry to disturb you.

oh, and let me guess....King James right?

Okay Sueann...perhaps you could enlightened me as to why "the curse" is phrased thus:

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree,of which I commanded thee, saying,Thou shalt not eat of it:

Also, that bit about Adam blaming God..."12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done?"

Talk about only seeing what you want to see...

[Woahhs]

Sounds to me like your "pastor" wants to stay on the good side of "the ladies." If you follow my drift...

Yeah, you are right. Adam should have hit her up alongside the head with a tree branch. Things would have gone much better.
