- God knew they ate the fruit before He ever confronted them. He is omnipresent = everywhere, omniscient = all knowing, and omnipotent = all powerful. Clearly, He knew the whole scene was going down as it was happening. Why didn't He stop them?
- God called out to Adam first. Why not Eve? Could it be that Adam was the responsible party? Was he, perhaps, placed in authority over Eve? Hmmm ...
- God punishes Adam not only for eating the fruit, but also for allowing himself to be persuaded to do so by his wife. (another hmmm...) Could it be that God's plan is for the wife to submit to her husband, and NOT for the husband to submit to his wife?
"Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing." Ephesians 5:24

God Knew It All Along
I was thinking about Adam and Eve and the fruit, and I came up with a few thoughts.
