Bible Question: What was the First Sin?

We have to remember that the Bible is simply silent in some matters of discussion, which is why we must rely on the wonderful blessing of human intelligence---it's called, "reading between the lines".For instance, just because Genesis 2:16 and 17 says that God commanded man to eat of every tree except for the tree of knowledge and good and evil does not mean that God might have conveyed his message in further detail to Adam and Eve.In fact, all that Genesis 3:2 and 3 is doing is describing a conversation between the Serpant and Eve:Genesis 3:2,3 "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."Right there, the Bible is simply giving more detail as to what God had told Adam and Eve. If the Bible had mentioned that this is what God had said BEFORE, it would have been simply "repetition".Eve did not lie, rather, the author elaborated these details through the communication between Eve and the Serpant.It's amusing to me how atheists will desperately try to pick on straws to prove their points.LoL, if you guys only knew how silly you sound.No worries though, I forgive ya.

Crashfrog, please don't discredit your intelligence.Even a kid in kindergarden can ascertain that the verse simply implies that is what God told Adam and Eve. By jolly, do you think the Bible is going to describe every detail...(i.e. Adam and Eve visited the south pole...they built a house, they named their favorite pet Lion 'Leo').I know you crashfrog to be intelligent. Even you know very well that the Bible does not have to into any more detail than it has in that chapter for a reader to come to the proper conclusion.

Crashfrog, if the bible gave you any more detail, you still would not believe. And if you did "believe", it would simply be purely out of fear, not genuine love for your Messiah.The Bible has JUST enough evidence designed by God to determine the wheat from the tares. Any truly honest person will be able to discern truth, and what is right.If the Bible outlined everything on a silver platter, the whole world would be filled with unrepentant worship.It's only a matter of time before you will be forced to believe, Crashfrog. The world is going to pots, and all the terrible things that are happening in this world, such as with disasters and wars, is only a small taste of what is to come. It's all leading up to one giant showdown with Armageddon.Unfortunately, then, believing won't do you any good.I guess you'll just wait and see.A good sign for you to look forward to: When the Pope starts calling upon Protestants around the world to start enforcing the observance of the Pagan Sunday Worship, and the increasing disasters will cause people and protestant leaders to demand congress to establish a "National Day of Worship", and when disasters of all kinds start to only increase after that around the world, and Satan himself impersonates Christ (as possibly the 8th Pope since 1798) and starts performing miracles and calling fire down from heaven before the eyes of the masses, then you will remember these conversations, and oh, how you will wish you had listened.
