Satan was able to successfully tempt Adam through Eve because Adam changed God in his heart.
When Adam relegated God to second place, he became a renegade.
Adam was right there throughout the conversation between satan and Eve.
There are two possibilities:

2. Adam blatantly defied God.
Either possibility points to the relegation of God.
When God is out of sight in the heart, satan thrives.
Compare Adam’s temptation with that of Jesus in the wilderness. Jesus resisted each temptation with the Word of God.
Instead of saying: “It is written: ‘Thou shall not eat from the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil’”, Adam probably said: “Eve has spoken. Thou can eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil’”.
