Adam and Eve – Causing God to Sin Against Himself!
There is a longstanding question as to why Satan tempted Eve first, but not Adam? There is a simple reason as to why Satan tempted Eve and not Adam. When God created Adam he first created Adam's flesh. Then God 'breathed the breath of life' into Adam. So Adam now had a part of God in him, GOD'S own breath of life. But when Eve was created God took Adam's rib and made a 'copy', therefore Eve had only Adam's 'breath of life' since there is no mention of Eve ever receiving God's breath of life directly.
Now if Satan were to tempt Adam he would actually be tempting God himself, since Adam had God's original breath of life. But by Satan tempting Eve Satan avoided tempting God himself ( Satan eventually did tempt God when he tempted Jesus Christ in the desert).
So when Satan tempted Eve, thereby causing Eve to succumb to Satan's lie and eat the fruit of the forbidden tree, Satan wasn't tempting God directly because Eve didn't have God's breath of life in her.
If Satan had tempted Adam Satan would have been tempting God since Adam had God's breath of life in him.
Since Adam had God's breath of life in him, and when Eve then tempted Adam, she was also tempting God himself, which is a sin. As for Adam, since he had God's breath of life, Adam used God's own breath of life to be disobedient and eat the forbidden fruit. In effect Adam was forcing God to sin against himself, which is a sin. Both Adam and Eve now sinned against God by making God disobedient against himself. Eve, by tempting Adam, represented God tempting himself for Eve had God's image, and Adam represented God acting on that temptation for Adam had both the image of God and God's breath of life.
It is only when both Adam and Eve sinned against God, thereby forcing God to sin against himself, did they begin to see their own nakedness and hide. They both became sinful at that moment.
Again, Eve sinned against God by tempting Adam who had God's own breath of life (additionally Adam had God's image), therefore Eve was temping God himself. And Adam sinned against God by using God's own breath of life to force God to sin against himself by eating the forbidden fruit. Adam was, in effect, a proxy for God in the Garden of Eden.
Satan ultimately sinned against God in the Garden of Eden as well because God gave the breath of life to all the animals. So when Satan possessed the serpent he was also taking possession of God's breath of life and then using it to tempt Eve. Therefore Satan also forced God to sin against himself when he used the serpent to tempt Eve.
Adam and Eve both had God's image and Adam had God's breath of life. Therefore they represented a sinless God in the Garden of Eden. After their sin they both were thrown out of the Garden of Eden for God cannot be represented as a sinful person. Jesus Christ would arrive later and take up the duty of representing a sinless God here on earth like Adam once did in the Garden of Eden.
Jesus Christ was God's own son, God become man, who lived on this earth to bring honor back to the Godhead. Jesus Christ brought honor back to God by never forcing God to sin against himself. When Jesus Christ took upon himself human flesh, with both God's image and God's breath of life, Jesus Christ became what Adam was in the Garden of Eden, a sinless man representing a sinless God.
Jesus Christ never sinned while on this earth thereby he never forced God to disobey his own commandments by giving in to any temptations (like Adam and Eve did). But Jesus Christ did ultimately die on the cross to pay the penalty for all of our disobedience (eating the forbidden fruit) in the Garden of Eden.
The essential question concerning Jesus Christ is.....will God judge himself for the sins committed by those who represented him, namely Adam and Eve and all of their descendants. God answered that question when he sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross.
For those who believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ you will be given eternal life with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit in heaven. Otherwise you will have to endure the penalty of Adam and Eve's sin which is eternal life separate from God in hell.
Everyone who now believes in Jesus Christ will be given a new resurrected body in heaven and a new name so that we'll never be tempted ever again to force God to sin against himself. It'll be the ultimate witness protection program!!!!!!!
Only Jesus Christ can now be trusted in heaven to never force God to sin against himself ever again.
Please choose an eternal life in heaven by believing in Jesus Christ!
God Bless
