This is actually the title of a best selling book written by Bruce Feiler. I just got the book today and I have not read it yet. Although he does have a hour long video on YouTube where he talks about this subject. In another thread I was asked the question about what made Adam and Eve's relationship with each other so special. Compared to the relationship people had with each other before Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden. Does anyone feel they can answer this question before I make an attempt at the answer?

It was so special until he blamed God for giving him that woman for causing him to sin?
Genesis 3:12
Genesis 3:12
God answered in Genesis 3:16 that Adam should not have listened to the women. Perhaps this was some sort of a test for Adam to see what he would do. There are people that say Esther had all the same choices that Eve had, only Esther made the right choices. Queen Esther was able to save her people. Haman is considered to be a type of the serpent.
Adam and Eve were created in the image of God, an innocent nature in flesh, and could not sin if an outside source did not tempt them, so God allowed Satan to tempt Eve and she sinned, and Eve was the outside source that tempted Adam by showing him she did not die and was not hurt and he sinned.
All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
The tongue is the most unruliest member of the body, and no person can tame the tongue and it is full of deadly poison.
Husbands and wives have fought over something or another, and did not act right at sometime or another.
So the special thing about Adam and Eve is they had the best, and most loving, and perfect relationship before they sinned then any other couple in the history of mankind for they had an innocent nature and their behavior would of been Christlike the entire time they were together before they sinned.
But after they sinned and had a choice between good and evil, well you know how it goes, and they probably thought about the good ole' days, and Eve saying it was so nice when we were in the garden, and Adam saying oh shut up woman, and tell Cain to leave Abel alone for if they do not stop their fighting I will clunk their heads together, and Eve saying you changed so much Adam for you used to be so loving and kind, well the same to you woman.

What people and what relationships BEFORE Adam and Eve? Don't allow fantasies to override the truth.
1. Adam and Eve were the first created human beings, and the entire human race has descended from them (regardless of ethnic diversity).
2. We do not read of any love story in the Bible regarding Adam and Eve.
3. We do read that even though they had absolutely no reason to disobey God, they did so for their own selfish desires. Thus the human race and all of creation came under a curse.

We know that Adam was not deceived but Eve. Adam knew what he was doing. So why did Adam eat? Because God said it’s not good for man to be alone. They had become help mates, married and joined by the flesh.
The Bible also says that’s there is something different about Adam’s transgression that made him a type of Christ.
Romans 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
How was the first Adam’s sin similar to the second Adam, Jesus Christ? Both gave up a lot to be with his bride out of love.
Both became sin.
Both left their perfect home.
Both gave up their dominion.
Both would end up dying.
The only difference is what the first Adam could not do in rescuing his bride, the second Adam accomplished.

She knew what God had said, thus she knew what she was doing, Eve was deceived in that no she wasn’t going to live forever
Gen 3
2The woman answered the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden, 3but about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You must not eat of it or touch it, or you will die.’”

Eve was deceived as Scripture says.
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 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.

One of the Hebrew letters: Peh represents the mouth. This is the only Hebrew letter that actually has a letter inside of a letter. The letter inside is the Bet and this represents our tent or dwelling. We know that God spoke creation into existance. We are told that the reason He did this was because of His desire to become a part of His Creation. This was to be His tent or dwelling place.
I believe Adam knew Eve had died. God told Adam in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die (Gen 2:7).
In the Hebrew, the words thou shalt surely die are derived from the same Hebrew root word muwth and the word is repeated ... so the verse says in the day that thou eatest thereof muwth muwth.
The verse could be read in the day you eat thereof, dying you shall die.
In the day Eve ate, she died. And that death resulted in her physical death later. Adam died when he ate, which led to his eventual physical death at age 930 years (Gen 5:5).
I also believe what you stated in Post #11 ... that Adam was a "type" of the Lord Jesus Christ, that Adam "joined" Eve in death similar to what Jesus did. Jesus took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men (Phil 2:7). However, what Jesus did far exceeds what Adam did. Adam was a "type", not exactly the same.
