Hearing the pleadings of his wife to eat the forbidden fruit. What form her arguments took, how Adam met them, or to what extent he resisted before he yielded is not known. The theory that he would have been required to live seperate from Eve and not have any children by her is not biblical. If he had lived true to God, he could have had children and they would have been accounted sinless, for it was reckoned that sin passed to others by the father, not the mother (Ex. 20:5;Ezek.18:2-4;Rom.5:12-21). The mother would have merely been the means of bringing sinless children into the world in the same sense that Christ was born sinless by a sinful mother and a sinless father (Rom.8:5)

Note that during pregnancy, the mother's blood doesn't get into the child, the placenta only transfers nutrients and minerals to the child.


Lastly Adam was there when Eve ate the fruit. Why he didn't caution her, is unknown to me but why he followed suit shows the great extent of man's vulnerability to a woman's persuasive nature.
Gen.3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food....and also gave it to her husband with her; and he did eat.

He clearly loved his wife hence, he didn't argue with her before taking a bite of the fruit.

By the way, I'm not sure Adam was there when Eve was eating the fruit. It was only after having eaten out of the fruit that she sought out Adam to share in her 'iniquity'.

I do not know the details of what happened. The bible just said she gave to her husband. It didn't even say if adam was there or not.

He was there, read the Bible passage I gave.

He was there and he should have exercised his authority as a man..Don't blame the woman alone blame tha man also.

lf Adam had not eaten of the fruit the wife gave to him, then Eve would discontinue being our mother. In fact she and satan would have died the moment God passed judgement on them only. Adam would have fallen asleep and another woman made for him. Sometimes I think we are all the same Adam come on Earth to show where our allegiance belongs. That is, you and I are the same Adam of Eden- now imperfect- with freewill.
I don't think Eve ate that fruit in the presence of satan. After the brief argument with satan, she must have kept thinking of her coming godship, because it was the 'You will be like God' utterance that broke her defences. It could have been an hour later that she did the act (and with Adam by her side).
Whether Adam was with her or not does not matter much. The fruit was distinct from other nearby fruits, so there was no excuse to save Adam's head. Adam could have resisted a little, then fell for godship bait. Both of their eyes were opened at the same time. Take time to read God's sentence on Adam and you will arrive at this conclusion.
