Questions We've Pondered

By Archie England, PH.D., New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary Professor of Old Testament and Hebrew

Question: Where was Adam when the serpent tempted Eve?

Archie England, PH.D., NOBTS Professor of Old Testament and HebrewArchie England responds: Genesis 3 relates how the first created beings violated God’s command, ate the forbidden fruit, and incurred the judgment of God. This first act of disobedience plunged all of the created order into the fallen estate of sin, thereby shattering the opportunity for God’s creation to exist (live) without sin.
