Where was Adam when the serpent tempted Eve in Genesis 3?
In Genesis 3, Adam was not in proximity with Eve when the serpent tempted her. The devil caught her at a moment when she was by herself, though she was probably close enough to get a good eyeful of the forbidden tree.
Les teaches that Adam was not in proximity with Eve during the temptation. He firmly believes the devil caught her at a moment when she was by herself, and she was probably close enough to get a good eyeful of the forbidden tree. This connects to the wider discussion of truth and lie, where the commandment against bearing false witness in Exodus 20:16 shows that lying is being false, and the serpent's deception began that pattern.
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
