Men wrote the Bible; not women. And in the era when the Bible was written, women were clearly second fiddles to men, which is verified many times in Biblical scripture. Therefore the men who wrote the Bible, not surprisingly, decided it would be Eve ( the woman ) who was the gullible one who would succumb to temptation, and be the one who is responsible for 'Original Sin", not Adam ( the male ).I've been asking myself lately - Why did the serpent talk to Eve, and not Adam?
I don't think what transpired between the serpent and Eve was impromptu, or a spur of the moment. It was planned by Satan.
What could be the reason why the serpent had approached Eve and not Adam?

Adam didn't keep a close enough reign on his second fiddle, Eve. Eve was made from a rib. ( "cheaper cut" - Archie Bunker- )Romans 5:12
Death in Adam, Life in Christ
12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men
And yet.................................. it was Adam who was blamed in the Bible for the sin of mankind.

At least the "blame" is being kept 'All in the Family.'Actually, that must be true.
Adam is held held responsible for his household.
See post# 2.But, why Eve?
See post# 2.
A "patriarchal culture" would, not surprisingly, put the blame on the second fiddle, Eve. ( woman ) Control mechanism/agenda. Of course Eve was made out to be the one who "led astray" good ole patriarch Adam. ( the male/patriarch ) Brains aren't derived from ribs.However, the narrative shows Eve to have been the one who had led Adam.
In a patriarchal culture, Adam would be the head of the family, the one who should've led Eve.
Because women bad, and men good. Becuase the Bible is written by men.I've been asking myself lately - Why did the serpent talk to Eve, and not Adam?

The Bible writers weren't attorneys or detectives or DAs, or the sharpest tools in the tool box. No motive needed by the Bible writers. Just attribute the deed to the second fiddle. Who, from that patriarchal era, was going to question/inquire about "motive"? Certainly not women.I think that’s a plausible motivation to “put the blame on mom,” though to be sure the text doesn’t ascribe motives to any character.
Because men were male chauvinist pigs even back then. It couldn't be the man's fault — blame the weak and easily influenced woman.I've been asking myself lately - Why did the serpent talk to Eve, and not Adam?

Thats just stupid. Eve didnt get the blame, Adam did.Because men were male chauvinist pigs even back then. It couldn't be the man's fault — blame the weak and easily influenced woman.
Token lip service from the misogynistic, male bible writers used as a precursor for future biblical scriptures to be used as an excuse to keep the second fiddles ( women ) in their subservient roles. "Fix me a sammie, and don't even think about preaching the gospel in the Houses of our Lord."Thats just stupid. Eve didnt get the blame, Adam did.
That6s false and rather stupid. But its all you got.Token lip service from the misogynistic, male bible writers used as a precursor for future biblical scriptures to be used as an excuse to keep the second fiddles ( women ) in their subservient roles.

Prove your positive claim "that is false." Or are you merely posting your 'personal opinion'?That6s false and rather stupid. But its all you got.
IMHO - these subjects are better taken to a forum/site that is Christian and where mockery of Christians, the bible, and blasphemy toward God are not tolerated - as they are here.I've been asking myself lately - Why did the serpent talk to Eve, and not Adam?

So you are advocating for an echo chamber, not an open 'debate' forum with free speech, in which opposing views are "tolerated", and allowed to be presented. Got it.IMHO - these subjects are better taken to a forum/site that is Christian and where mockery of Christians, the bible, and blasphemy toward God are not tolerated - as they are here.
You arent engaged in discussion, you are posting mindless crap.So are advocating for an echo chamber, not an open 'debate' forum in which opposing views are presented. Got it.
