Archive Fun Fact No.3 "EVE DID NOT TEMPT ADAM"

The book of Genesis has two subtly different tales of Eden, but neither one holds Eve alone responsible for the original sin because Adam is with Eve when she is tempted by the serpent. The Book of Genesis clearly says that “When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, she took from its fruit and ate, and she gave also to her husband who was with her.” He stood beside her and listened to the Devil, the same as Eve. Not only is Eve held accountable for the original sin, but also Adam the one who is responsible for taking care of his wife and just fails as he did not stop her from committing the sin.

Adam could have told Eve not to listen. He could have refused the fruit. Instead, Adam is just as entranced by the snake’s lies as Eve. She simply happens to be the one standing closer to the tree and able to reach the fruit easier. Eve does not seduce Adam into taking the fruit. He shares it with her willingly.

Archive Fun Fact No.2 "JESUS DIDN'T WANT TO DIE"
As he approaches his death and prays hard in the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus says, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. It's a blunt prayer addressed to the father, suggesting that Jesus as a man is afraid of the idea of death.
