Adam commanded her not to even touch it.......this may have been the problem , if he told her not to touch it lest she die , and then she sees the serpent slithering all over it , she might have wondered why doesn't the serpent die ? The serpent took advantage of the fact that Adam had......added to God's Word , and he used that against the woman . Hey , look at me ! I'm all over this tree and I'm not dying , u can touch it too and u won't die , your husband lied to u ! So , Eve is tempted to disobey her husband ( not God because God didn't say that if u touch it u will die ) she touches it and thinks : hmph , Adam was wrong , I can touch it and I'm ok . Maybe he was wrong about being able to eat from it also .
This is what the deceiver does , he takes advantage of us if and when we start to mess with God's Word , he sneaks in and encourages to believe innacurasies , he seduces us and leads us into trouble .
I believe what God says , not what humans say , the Bible is the inspired Word of God and there r no coincidences in there , it's a precious gift that helps to bring us closer to our Heavenly Father . If what anyone says to me contradicts His Word then I don't go along with it but to b able to do that I HAVE to read His Word for myself and b convinced of it . What is the condition for baptism that Phillip gives to the Ethiopian in the book of Acts ? We have to know God's Word in order to obey it and there's only one fool proof way for us to get that understanding .
