Adam.... outright and deliberately disobeyed God for:
- Gods command not to eat was given expressly to Adam.
(The Lord God commanded THE MAN saying...) Gen.2:16
- Adam was told the CONSEQUENCES if he did eat.
(thou shalt surely die) Gen.2:17
- Adam had a CHOICE:........................ = DECISION
Tree of Life....................... = LIFE
Tree of Knowlege of good and evil.. = DEATH
(By ONE MAN sin and death entered the world)

NO..I’m looking at points in my life where I sin not stumble...
..stumble denotes the temptation or inner battle before the actual sin is acted on.... The struggle to overcome the temptation to do what I know I shouldn’t do but I find myself wanting to do and WILLING to.
I can yield to the temptation....I can even want or desire without being tempted for it’s my human nature to do so.I have a will. God did not remove that.
Isn't that what I stated?

caww - NO..I’m looking at points in my life where I sin not stumble...
Stumbling is sinning. God always brings you back doesn't He?
The struggle to overcome the temptation to do what I know I shouldn’t do but I find myself wanting to do and WILLING to.
Yes, but after you sin don't you feel just a tad creepy that you were disobedient? You sinned because you deceived yourself into thinking that it would bring you fleshly or worldly pleasures; but in the end you learn that it doesn't. In the end you go right back to God, confess your sins, and move on. And in the end you have learned something and you are no longer deceived by that particular thing.
