Different Perspective
I read something this week I have read many many times, but noticed a different angle on it.
Genesis 3:12 says "The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” "
I used to assume Adam was putting the blame on Eve for his fall, but he wasn't.
Adam was blaming God. "The woman whom YOU gave to be with me..."
Now that I think about it. This happens a lot in our world. Our favorite game is the blame game and when we begin to realize the blame belongs to us, we'll try to divert it to Him.
We are basically saying that "I am perfect, but my God is not". What could be more ridiculous?

Good point. Adam was blaming God. I guess we all look for a scapegoat. Funny thing is, God actually does end up taking the blame (sin) in Jesus Christ.
