The snake convinced Eve to eat the fruit. It was Eve who convinced Adam, not the snake. If we wish to know what convinced Eve to eat the fruit, Genesis 3:4-5 makes out what the snake's case is. The first piece is that unlike what God said, the fruit will not assuredly kill Eve. This sows doubt as to whether the danger that God claimed to be present was really there. The second piece is that the snake said that once you eat the fruit you will know what is right and what is wrong. This would give Eve the idea that she after eating the fruit, she would know how to figure out the difference between right and wrong.

Genesis 3:4-5 (NIV): 4 "You will not certainly die," the serpent said to the woman. 5 "For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

What did god said to Adam and Eve?

i am Muslim but the bible and the quran are almost similar so ok Adam and eve where living in heaven then god told them not to eat from a fruit tree (not really specified which type of fruit) anyways so god told them not to eat from it but then Satan (a.k.a the devil) just convinced them to eat from it so they ate from it and god said that they did not abide by what he said so he send them to earthreal virson:God made the first two people on earth (Adam and Eve) and said to them to enjoy life on earth but not to eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of good and evil. Then the serpent who was really Satan (the devil) convinced Eve into eating the fruit. Eve gave some to Adam. Then, they tried to hide from God. God said to them you have disobeyed me. Adam then said that Eve had given him the fruit. Eve said the serpent made her do it. God punished them.


Who does the storyof Adam and Eve blame for suffering and hardship?

The story of Adam and Eve blames the snake who is sent by the devil to encourage them to eat the forbidden fruit. It is said that when Adam and Eve ate this fruit they betrayed God and then released all the bad things into the world, such as death, murder, thievery etc. Sort of similar to Pandora's Box i guess.

God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the devil's tree so Eve dared Adam to eat from it so that is why.
