So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Genesis 3:6
While blame has been laid upon Eve, it is clearly seen in this verse for today that her husband was there with her. And therefore, we can see that the first sin against our Lord God was decided by two consenting adults. Many Bible stories tell us of two consenting adults deciding to commit a sin, sometimes more than one. It would seem that two can get into sin trouble at least as fast as one. So perhaps the best indicator of whether something is a sin or not would not be the decision of two consenting adults?
Of course we cannot leave it there. Tomorrow, if the Lord is willing, we will see what a partnership can do when it is centered in Christ Jesus.
Grace and peace to you in Christ Jesus!
