Romans 5:12-15
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 15But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
2 Timothy 2:13-15
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
I believe the Bible is trying to tell us something. Paul talks about Adam's transgression, but the author of 2 Timothy says that Adam was not deceived and that Eve was the one in the transgression. This cannot be a contradiction. The Bible says tha Adam was a figure of him that was to come. He was a Son of God and there is no sin in God. There was nothing physically or spiritually imperfect with Adam. He was formed and directly breathed into his nostrils, the breath of life by God. Eve on the other hand, was taken out of Adam. He was given an element directly by the Lord God, Eve was the only element in creation at this time that could have been susceptible to the serpent. She was of the flesh of Adam. I believe the physical act of the sin in the garden was a sexual act. And I believe Adam did what he did to save his wife! Adam had sin imputed upon him to save his wife through chilbearing.
Jeremiah 3:1
They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD.
Genesis 3:17
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: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Adam, by law could have divorced his wife.
Matthew 5:31-32
It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Though he could have, he didn't. He was a son of God and the figure of Him who was to come. She was flesh of his flesh, and bone of his bones. He did it out of love for his wife!
Malachi 2:13-16
And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.
14Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
15And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. 16For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
Adam had knew God. He walked with Adam. He knew fully what he did but had faith and hope in the God he walked with to deliver not only him, but his wife as well! If Adam had diveorced Eve, she would have been eternally lost!
Romans 8:19-21
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
I believe what Adam did, he did it out of love for his wife. I believe none of us in a sense, would be here today if it wasn't for Adam. He layed his life down for her in the hope that God would raise them up again in faith!
Sounded pretty though!
