Adam was not deceived but chose to eat of the forbidden tree. Why?

You obviously have no idea how difficult it is to turn down a naked woman with food.

Semantics. We know what one believes by their actions: we live what we believe.
The end of Man's sin was rebellion but he acted according to what he believed.

Hmmm. It is Scripture, and you call it semantics? Adam was not deceived.

1 Tim. 2:14 says, “And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being quite deceived, fell into transgression.”

I didn't use the word "deceived".

Man sinned because believed the lie and brought sin to all mankind.

To me it seems as if satan created the first false doctrine and eve spread it which caused the fall into captivity within our mind and heart to sin

You say he believed the lie.

Yet Scripture says and I affirmed that he was not deceived. You called it semantics. What did you mean to say?

To me it seems as if satan created the first false doctrine and eve spread
it which caused the fall into captivity within our mind and heart to sin

Being deceived is not sin.

And yet Eve was punished.

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.

What is a transgressor if not a sinner?

"..and fell into transgression".

That's an action statement.

She was deceived and then ate.

And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 1 Tim 2:14

So if I fall into transgression I have not sinned?

I've never started any serious threads before, so just going to put on my helpmet and crash gear and throw it in there.... And ooo, look at the typo I just happenstanced to make! helpmet? hmm...It's like 'helpmeet' in past tense where I meant to write 'helmet' but... WEll, I can't bring myself to go back and erase it. It's all too fitting for this topic! So...

I've learned there is a school of thought that goes something like this: since Adam was not deceived, he chose death for Eve's sake...

But however romantic this seems to me, for some reason I've found it difficult to fully accept it as anything more than speculation as to why he would, apparently, chose death if he didn't believe what the serpent said, 'surely, you will not die...'

Eve was deceived, yes, as scripture says outrightly, So, I guess I'd have to do a deeper study of the meaning of deceived to get an idea of actually transpired in this event.
Basically, she was deceived because she believed a lie, which is the closest definition I have of it to this point, and we know where that lie came from. However, we also know that Eve was not yet created when God commanded Adam of what trees he may and may not eat (ge 3:16). This is key in distinguishing between Eve's vulnerability to deception in contrast to Adam. Imo, because Adam knew exactly what God said, he could not be deceived. He didn't choose Eve, after all, he threw her under the bus, and henceforth rule 'over' her rather than reigned 'alongside' her, which is love as it is meant to be. He outrightly judged God to be a liar and chose to eat of the tree. So then, it is my position that his sin is greater because he chose 'unbelief' in God's direct word and exchanged it for the serpents lie, and that is how sin entered in through Adam.

Though, as I said before, the former theory that Adam did it for the love of Eve is so very romantic.

Transgression is an action.

here's the pattern:

Enemy lies > man hears > man believes > man acts > man sins

"Doers" of lies are sinners. In contrast, "doers" of the Word are believers. Ironically, they are both "believers" in that they believe what they are told. But before God, only those who follow His word are considered "believers". This is because the standard is the truth of God. There is no value apart from the standard.

Same problem mankind always has......love. When Christ was asked what is the greatest commandment he said love the Lord with everything and the second love your fellow man like yourself. This is what happens at the start we are even introduced to it the garden of Eden and Cain and Abel.

We know that if we love God we will keep his commandments and that is factual and is true. Adam loved Eve more than he loved God. In fact God directly addresses that. He says because you hearkened unto the voice of your wife. God said don't his wife said do and he listened to his wife. He loved her more. As we know the bible has declared if we love him we will obey. Adam had a love problem in that it was not a correct love in loving God first.

Eve had the same problem as John tells us don't love the world and what is in the world, lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Eve saw that the fruit was pleasant to the touch, pleasant to the eye, and would make one wise.

Same problem man always has why God always addresses it first. When Christ addresses Ephesus he says remember from whence you are fallen you have left your first love for me. Man falls when he does not love God first. What does Christ say will happen if you do not repent your candlestick will be removed. If you do repent and love God first that first love the promise is that you will eat of the tree of life in the middle of the garden of God.

There is nothing new under the sun. Man did not love God first and was removed and kept from the tree of life. In Romans 1 God says that they love the creation more than the creator. Paul says if we have the gift of prophecy and all knowledge can understand all mysteries give all our goods to feed the poor, have faith to move mountains we are nothing without love.

Christ says the same in Matthew 7 not every one that says Lord Lord will enter. Even though they prophesied, cast out demons done works in his name. Christ says that unless you do the will of the father. If you love me you will obey me.

He says he never knew them. There was no intimacy a knowing which is what first love brings and is all about. Desiring to know your love to get close to your love to forsake all others but your love. No man can serve two masters either we will hate the one and love the other.

It is circular and complete, correct love where we love God first. John says if we love God we will love our brother. If we hate our brother we hate God. It is circular by this shall all men know you are my disciples because you love one another. If we love God then we love our brother if we love our brother then we love God.

A fall always comes from not loving God first. Why God sums it up all the law and commandments as love God first and foremost and even addresses love first when he had John write to the churches.

Adam and Eve fell because they had a love problem they did not love God first. Because they did not they did not obey him cause loving God brings obedience unto his words. If you love me you will obey me.

Man sinned because believed the lie and brought sin to all mankind.

Adam didn't choose to eat of the tree.

Who forced him to?
