How is sin conceived like a child? Why does the LORD chasten his children? How do we see God’s sovereignty in this? How does the sin of deceit become like a thick web? When the LORD does a work in one of His children do they admit they are sinners?

Great Sermon! I have a question! You stated that "they" saw that the fruit was good, and the sin was already there" implying that Adam was with Eve! My question is, If I were coming to your place to seduce your wife, would I do it in your presence? Would you stand ideally by and say nothing nor come to her defense?
No place does the scripture use the plural of 'they', but only "the woman" was the serpent speaking to! I see her alone and Adam tending the garden doing the will of God, Her being ideal to communicate alone with the serpent!She was deceived, not Adam! Adam wouldn't stand ideally by saying anything for he would have known the deception, but (after) she took the first bite, he was left with the choice of: Do I let her die alone or do I willfully join her in death, as Jesus did for us? Is this a picture of the love for the church, dying with her in sin, to raise her from death and unto eternal life? ETP
