When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Genesis 3:16

Yeah but that's when Eve ate the fruit, not when she was talking with the serpent. So I still don't know either way.

It would be a telling point though. Either way it seems important whether Adam was there when they were talking.

This is an interesting discussion for another thread. I just don't want to derail this thread out of respect for the OP. I especially don't want to feed any trolls looking to derail this thread. Seoulsearch already commented on that.

Whoops! You are correct ma'am, we have indeed derailed the thread.

Or we have derailed the derail into another derail. Or something.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread, hopefully already in progress.

When I was fresh divorced and in my early twenties a man in his 40's was interested in me. I worked for an insurance company at the time as their receptionist and he would come by my desk and ask me to go out with him and I constantly turned him down. Then the next time he'd come in he would lay down his $20,000.00 commission check on my desk to impress me and tell me all about his fancy car and on and on all the while I am saying no.

So I had dreams of moving to Florida and getting away from Kentucky and my married life failure and I had the date set as to when I was leaving the state for my big move and this guy comes by to again ask me out. Now at this point I am in user mode because I know I am leaving the state and there was a fancy restaurant downtown Louisville that I really wanted to go to before left so I said you can take me on a farewell date. Which we went on and the whole time this guy is trying to talk me into becoming a kept woman... and all the things he can offer me....

Let's just say that dinner was good. But any thoughts of living a life like that being someone's Barbie doll or eye candy at that time I could have been I was in my twenties after all and not too bad looking at the time....But it was just gross and disgusting to me to even think of allowing someone to keep me....Yuck....It wasn't because of religion either that I turned this guy down it was my standards of not wanting to do something like that.

I was discouraged and not too happy with church or God at that time so religion played no part in my decision....

I went on to be a single woman for 35 years as in not remarried. I had relationships but I can promise you money was never a consideration in any of them. So I am here to tell you that not all woman can be bought or that money is the main course.... It isn't...because some of us do make it on our own and don't need or want to be kept or taken care of. That is Blonds 2 cents worth.

I feel sorry for men who try to impress women with their money. It only shows that they have low self esteem that without their money they are nothing and with that mindset, they view women as gold diggers. When men earn lesser than their wife, they feel insecure and resentful when its not the wife's fault if her income is bigger. Well not all men but most men specially non christians have an ego problem.

I'm just putting this out there... But, is the money thing an American thing? It doesn't seem to be as big an issue with european Christians? I'm not sure if thats right but sometimes it seems that way.

I wonder about the same thing. I've been working and providing for myself since 18. For a time, I had to provide for my family too. Having said that, I know I can stand financially without a man to provide for me. But if a guy wished to provide for me, after marriage, I wouldn't say no. But if that means I'll be stuck at home playing house. Ugh. No.

I have heard of Christian men who have made their wives quit their jobs because their wives earned more than them. So, yeah, it is all men. And not just men, even women. In fact, everybody in this world has an ego. :)

What's more fragile than a woman's heart?

A man's ego.

Answer is no. Bible says Adam was not deceived.

1 Timothy 2:14

[SUP]14 [/SUP]And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

Of course. We women don't have that.

In every relationship you have some fights. Why men do that nobody knows.

No. Some women can also have an ego problem but men have more tendency maybe because of the way they are wired. Basically they expect to be respected all the time even when they havent earned it yet.

Yes and it totally depends. I dated a jobless guy. The girlfriend he had before me he said he felt like the lowest dust on the earth. If he begged very hard he could get a tiny bit of money and he wore jeans with holes. She had a wardrobe full of clothes. My ex only got 700 euro a month in the good times. It was never a problem. I always said you earn more but I get more. It was just our money, not mine.

I sometimes wonder if Adam had just stayed alone if he would never had sinned and there would be no Messiah since no kids.
