Sure Adam had a evil nature, that was made manifested by the temptation of Eve, she had the same nature Adam had, she came from him and they were one flesh. Thats why he ate from her, he was a evil man. If adam would have skewered the devil, why didnt he do that to his wife ? A Holy natured man would have rebuked his wife for the evil and abstained from it. If you say he did it because he loved eve, then that means he loved his wife more than God, which was a violation clearly of the 1 st commandment Matt 22 26-28You fail to understand. Adam was exactly what God made him to be, perfect, and neutral. He had no evil nature, he had no righteous nature, perfectly neutral. He could only do good, since the only law God had in the garden was to stay about from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. That's it. When Adam sinned, that sin corrupted his nature, and thus the sin nature of man was born. It is as simple as that. All of this was in keeping with God's plan, but we should not speculate any further than what scripture has provided. To do that, as you have, is to bring God into question, especially if you are very wrong. Just understand that Adam was not evil, had no evil nature in him when created, for he was created in the very image of God, so...I don't think you really want to go there. He walked with God, talked with God, he would have skewered the serpent. Yet, Eve is the one who met the serpent. The only thing that we can be sure of with how Genesis shares the tale, is that Adam sinned with both eyes open. He was not tempted by the serpent.
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment.
That temptaion God of satan was a test of their Love to Him and they both failed Deut 13 3
thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
But their faiure and evil was unto a Holy Purpose of Redemption in Christ Jesus. Do you know what redemption is ?
