Episode notes
Evil Preexists Adam and Eve
- Evil existed before the fall as Satan, the serpent, was already in the garden.
- Satan's temptation targeted Eve, subverting the headship of Adam by attacking the 'weaker vessel'.
Satan Twists God's Word
- "Did God actually say?" is a timeless tactic of Satan to challenge God's word.
- Even Christians can adopt gospel plus errors by adding to God's commands like Eve did with the added 'don't touch' rule.
Adam Abdicated Leadership Role
- Adam was present during the temptation but did not intervene or intercede for Eve.
- His abdication of responsibility as leader contributed to the fall and its consequences.
