I believe we can take that portion in genesis to far sometimes. I believe God wants us to Read his word, meditate on his word, believe his word, eat his word, SPEAK his word and WRITE his word. I can't exactly prove that we are to write it except that paul and his apostles wrote it, but then again they through the holy ghost laid the foundation, so anything that you write has to agree with the WORD already written.
This is my way of thinking.
2Co 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, (!!written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.!!)
Joh 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Joh 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
THE POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD,
Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
psalms like the psalms of david??????????
Inspiration is of the Holy Spirit. If it is in you, it will come out of you.
It way well be the case that God said it, but the entire conversation was not recorded in Scripture. This is the case many times in the Gospels where there are seeming contradictions. eg: Matthew has more of the story than Mark, Luke records a different part than John, etc.
But Paul was "God inspired" in his writings ... and there were places where he said outright, "this is me, speaking, not God".

I see it as Eves lack of understanding of what God desired them to do. Adam should have maybe explained it alittle more to her. Adam probably told her not to touch it because he was responsible for her. I have heard other preachers use this example before and still kinda believe it. Not sure I quite agree with that anymore. Paul sure added alot for us, he didn't have the bible as we know it today. I don't know I often think about this.
Simple question here ... New Living Translation, Gen. 2:16 - 17 "But the Lord God warned him, 'You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden -- except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.'" NOW: Gen. 3: 3b Eve tells the serpent: "...God said you must not eat it or even touch it: if you do, you will die." Seems to me this is the first example of someone ADDING to God's word! I can just see Eve saying this and that sly old serpent reaching out and wrapping himself around a piece of that fruit hanging on the tree... Eve's eyes grow huge, waiting for the serpent to drop to the ground ... he doesn't ... and Eve begins to wonder ... and you know the rest of the story. Just what do YOU think about that little addition? OR EVEN TOUCH IT ... To me it seems that even the very first time a seemingly innocent addition was made to God's word, a KINGDOM was lost.
