Did Yahweh Set Adam Up?

[Chad32]

 What does a child eating candy have to do with this. Where is your evidence they were not prepared, you've skipped over what I asked. Want to use a child for this, a young child knows when told not to do something it will be punished, yet that young child doesn't know good and evil.

Well apparently eve wasn't told "Hey. If someone tells you something contrary to what I've told you, come talk to me about it. Ok?"


All it took was the snake telling her what the apple does, and that it won't directly kill her, and she ate it immediately. What do you think he might have told her to prepare her for deceit that a short conversation just overrode that? My evidence of them being unprepared is the fact that it was so easy to get them to break that one rule. All the snake had to do was tell the truth. All eve had to do was offer adam the apple. Neither one of them thought maybe they should consult Yahweh about this new development before going ahead with it.


Yes, that's the point of comparing them to children. They know what words mean, but they don't understand why, so it's not hard at all to make them forget that they'll be punished. Especially if they've never been punished before. They have no point of reference.
