11. The Temptation Things we know:
• The exact words of God regarding the prohibition are recorded.
• If we accept the order of events as chronological, Eve was not created when Adam received the command not to eat of the tree of knowledge.
• Adam and Eve were not sinners at the point Eve is conversing with Satan.
Things we don’t know, but are possible and would be relevant:
• How Adam repeated and represented God’s command to Eve, and if that was a subject of ongoing discussion.
• Whether Satan had been repeatedly approaching Adam and Eve, what that involved, and whether that came up in discussions between Adam and Eve. 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11

13. Dispensation of Innocence
• Man was created & existed in a state of uninterrupted innocence and fellowship with God whereby he lived in righteous liberty.
• Man did not derive his righteousness by works or obedience to any righteous standards; he faced only the loss of spiritual life and righteousness through the disobedience to one command.
• Nevertheless, man, by created nature as a rational being with free will, even in innocence, was vulnerable to temptation. God created us in His image, including a measured degree of independence whereby we may truly respond to and toward Him in mutual relationship. His desire and provision is that we align with the His standards for that relationship, but we may resist and reject. 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13
