--HER NAME--
"Eve is not her real name:
Adam is called Adam in Hebrew, but Eve is not actually called Eve.
In the Garden of Eden, when addressing her husband by name, she would have used ‘Adam’.
Adam is called Adam in Hebrew, but Eve is not actually called Eve.
In the Garden of Eden, when addressing her husband by name, she would have used ‘Adam’.
Whereas Adam would not have referred to her as ‘Eve’, but as ‘Haw-wah’, her name as transliterated from Biblical Hebrew.
(The opening ‘h’ is a guttural sound, sometimes written as ‘ch’ or ‘kh’.).
(The opening ‘h’ is a guttural sound, sometimes written as ‘ch’ or ‘kh’.).
‘Eve’, the Hebrew word is חַוָּ֑ה. When transliterated today based on the way it is pronounced by modern Hebrew speakers, this is written as Havah or Chavah. (The sound shift of ‘w’ to ‘v’ has occurred in many languages over time.) Havah is linked to the Hebrew word for life.
Jerome translated this from Hebrew and Greek in the 4th century AD. It became the most widely used Bible translation in western Christianity for over a thousand years. In the Latin Vulgate, Havah was transliterated quite closely as Hava or Heva in the Old Testament. The opening ‘h’ later became essentially silent in Ecclesiastical Latin.

In the New Testament, it was translated from the Greek as Eva. From Eva came the later anglicized version Eve.
The name Eve as we pronounce it today would have been unknown to Adam."

--From Adam's Rib--
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man,
made He a woman, and brought her unto the man.
Genesis 2:22
*Some Bible skeptics have falsely claimed that if this were true, itwould mean that “women have one more rib than men”.
---As a result, sometimes they think ‘gotcha’ when they confidently exclaim that men don’t have one rib less than women. Men have exactly the same number of ribs as women—12 pairs.
-This is a strawman argument, however, because the Bible never actually claims such a thing.
-Nor would a difference in male rib numbers even be expected as a consequence of God’s procedure on Adam.-If somebody loses a finger, for instance, during an accident, that does not mean that any of their children will be born with one less finger.
-This is because the number of fingers, or ribs, is genetically determined in the chromosomes (DNA) passed on from generation to generation. With his wife Eve, Adam fathered the world’s first generation of naturally born children, from whom we all descended.
-Even if Adam had been missing a rib all his life, all of his children would have inherited the DNA information (program) coding for the same number of ribs with which he started life—24.
In any case, though, Adam would have only been missing a rib for a few months.

Q: Did you know that the rib is the only bone in the human body that will regularly grow back once removed, providing it is removed carefully?
There is a thin membrane around the bone, suitably named periosteum, that enables regeneration of the bone. If this membrane is not damaged, the rib usually grows back promptly."

--Adam's Clone?--
And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
Genesis 2:21–22
These simple statements have profound implications. ---They put a limit on the amount of diversity we should find in people living today.
---The Bible clearly says the human race started out with two people only.
Q: But how different were these two people?A: There is an intriguing possibility that Eve was a clone of Adam.
The science of cloning involves taking DNA from an organism and using it to manufacture an almost perfect copy of the original.
*Here, God is taking a piece of flesh, with cells, organelles, and, importantly, Adam’s DNA, and using it to manufacture a woman.
Of course, she could not be a perfect clone, because she was a girl!
Q: But what if God had taken Adam’s genome and used it to manufacture Eve?
A: All he would have had to do was to leave out Adam’s Y chromosome and double his X chromosome and, voilá, instant woman!
Your genome is like an encyclopedia (almost literally).
A: All he would have had to do was to leave out Adam’s Y chromosome and double his X chromosome and, voilá, instant woman!
Your genome is like an encyclopedia (almost literally).
And, like an encyclopedia, the genome is broken down into volumes, called chromosomes, but you have two copies of each volume (with the exception of the X and Y chromosomes; women have two Xs but men have one X and one Y).
Imagine comparing two duplicate volumes side by side and finding that one word in a particular sentence is spelled differently in each volume (perhaps “color” vs “colour”).
*Can you see that if Eve was a clone of Adam, there would have been, at most, two possible variants at any point in the genome?
*If Eve was not a clone, however, there would have been, at most, four possible variants at any point in the genome (because each of the original chromosomes came in four copies). This still allows for a lot of diversity overall, but it restricts the variation at any one spot to 2, 3, or 4 original readings.
Q: Does this fit the evidence?
A: Absolutely! Most variable places in the genome come in two versions and these versions are spread out across the world. There are some highly variable places that seem to contradict this, but most of these are due to mutations that occurred in the different subpopulation.

*There are indications, however, that Eve may not have been a clone.
The ABO blood group is a textbook example of a gene with more than two versions. There are three main versions of the blood type gene (A, B, and O). However, many, but not all, people with type O blood carry something that looks very much like a mutant A (the mutation prevents the manufacturing of the type A trait on the outside of cells).
*So here is a gene with more than two versions, but one of the main versions is clearly a mutation.
This is a surprise to many."

--The Fall--
But I fear, lest by any means,
as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty,
so your minds should be corrupted
from the simplicity that is in Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:3
Natural Immortality of the soul was the
FIRST LIE ever uttered on earth:
EVE: And the woman said unto the serpent,We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden,
God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
The Serpent (Lucifer): And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened and ye shall be as gods......
---And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food,
The Serpent (Lucifer): And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened and ye shall be as gods......
---And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food,
---and that it was pleasant to the eyes,
---and a tree to be desired to make one wise,
she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat,
and gave also unto her husband with her;
and he did eat.
Genesis 3:2-6These are his words:
Ye shall not surely die:
Ye shall not surely die:
Genesis 3: 4
--God had warned them that the penalty for disobedience would be death.
--Satan contradicted God, and promised them immunity from the execution of that decree, with tremendous advantages besides.
Lucifer used 5 methods to tempt Eve:--God had warned them that the penalty for disobedience would be death.
--Satan contradicted God, and promised them immunity from the execution of that decree, with tremendous advantages besides.
Spiritism is using all its powers of eloquence and deceit
to prove to the race
--that God told the falsehood
--and Satan told the truth."
Charles Snow1) Performed a counterfeit miracle by speaking through a serpent
2) Misquoted the Word of God
3) Led Eve to depend on human reason & logic
4) Persuaded Eve to follow the testimony of her senses
5) Used Eve to tempt Adam
First Satan casts doubt on God’s Word by querying, “Did God actually say?”
(Genesis 3:1).
Next, he flat-out denies God’s Word, “You will not surely die” (Genesis 3:4).
Lastly, he claims, “you shall be like gods”
Next, he flat-out denies God’s Word, “You will not surely die” (Genesis 3:4).
Lastly, he claims, “you shall be like gods”

For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life,
is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1 John 2:16
--How Eve Broke All 10 Commandments--
1] Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.---EVE wanted to be like "god"
2] Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,...
---EVE idolized the fruit
3] Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain;
---EVE misquoted God thereby giving Him a bad name4] Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth,...
---EVE dishonored her Creator
5] Honor thy father and thy mother:
---EVE dishonored her Father by disobedience
6] Thou shalt not kill.
---EVE's disobedience resulted in the death of future generations for millennia
7] Thou shalt not commit adultery.
---EVE committed spiritual adultery
8] Thou shalt not steal.
--EVE stole what did not belong to her
9] Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
---EVE bore false witness by misquoting God
10] Thou shalt not covet.
---EVE coveted the fruit that did not belong to her
--Eve's Point of Reference for DEATH--
Adam & Eve had no real point of reference for death when God told them they would die if they disobeyed.Q: Was death their eviction from the Garden?
Q: Was death what happened to the withering plants?
Q: Was death the bleeding lambs for their sin?---But she soon got her reference point of death - And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Genesis 4:25
"As they witnessed in drooping flower and falling leaf the first signs of decay, Adam and his companion mourned more deeply than men now mourn over their dead."

--The Spiritual Aspect--
* Eve was taken from the side of Adam.
* Blood & water came out of the side of the 2nd Adam for His bride-His people.
-- Where the first Adam followed his "Eve" into sin, the 2nd Adam refrained from following His "Eve" (His people...Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. Revelation 21:9) into sin and paid the price for "her".
-- Where the first Adam followed his "Eve" into sin, the 2nd Adam refrained from following His "Eve" (His people...Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. Revelation 21:9) into sin and paid the price for "her".
And Adam was not deceived,
but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
