Adam And Eve  Q. My question is two fold:  if Adam was created
first in God’s Image, in perfection, why then would he need
“help” from Eve? Is there a lost translation here?   Secondly,
is there any biblical reference for why the enemy targeted Eve
first, not Adam?  A. All the other species had both male and
female so they could procreate.  Even though Adam was created in
the image of God, he was still a man and couldn’t make a baby
without Eve’s help.  Adam needed a woman to help him populate
the Earth.  As for Satan attacking Eve first, We learn from Paul
that God’s “chain of command” placed Himself at the top followed
by man and then woman (Ephesians 5:22-23).  Had Satan deceived
Adam, Eve would have had an excuse for taking the forbidden
fruit.   “I was only obeying my husband,” she could have said. 
“Isn’t that what I’m supposed to do?”  By approaching Eve first,
Satan accomplished the utter fall of both.  Print Friendly
