I really didn't think about the possibility of
the Lord telling Eve something different from what He had
already told Adam because we are just going by what Eve
said that the Lord said to her because the Bible doesn't
say that the Lord said that, and we don't know if the
Lord directly told her later not to eat nor touch the
fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and
evil although we know that the Lord directly
told Adam not to eat the fruit of that tree.
I thought Adam might have relayed the
information to Eve not to eat the fruit from it.
There is no mention of the Lord telling Adam not to
touch the fruit. And of course, the Lord doesn't
lie. If Eve added those words about not touching the
fruit, and God really didn't tell her not to touch
the fruit, then I don't think she would have realized at
that point in time that she had added to the words of God
since she had no knowledge of good and evil at that
point in time. However, after she ate the forbidden
fruit and had a knowledge of good and evil, I think
she would have realized it then. I can't say
that I ever thought about the possibility of the Lord
telling Adam and Eve something different until you pointed
out that possibility. However, I don't see what the
Lord's point would have been to tell Eve not to touch the
forbidden fruit when the Lord didn't originally tell Adam
that. Did the Lord later directly tell both Adam and
Eve not to eat nor touch the fruit lest they die?
The Bible doesn't say. We only have what Eve said
that the Lord said, but it doesn't make sense that
the Lord later told them both not to eat nor touch the
fruit lest they die because in order to eat the fruit, you
have to touch it. Even if the Lord possibly just
told Eve alone not to eat nor touch the fruit, why would
it be necessary for Him to tell her not to touch it
because by eating it she would be touching it which is why
I thought of the possibility of Eve adding the words not
to touch the forbidden fruit.
