They would have to be, for them to even enter his mind would make his love "conditional" and thereby not as pure as his existence was. Even just telling God on her would be a self-interest act, something he had no need to be able to comprehend until he already consumed it. As would hiding it.
Every other choice he could make he wouldn't have understood until he ate of the fruit and learned all the sinful human flaws that granted him true freedom of choice.
No to all of those lol. You don't sin (or diminish your love) if you give up your spouse for murder
You are thinking with a mindset already given the sin of knowledge, which allows us that much choice and nuance and morality.
He had none of that, because he hadn't eaten the fruit yet. All he saw was the thing he loved most, and he followed her to hell out of love for her.
Probably so. I was just stating there was no sin in abandoning Eve.
No, but to abandon her he would have to already be sinful. The very notion of going against her, his love, and that unblemished existence would require sin to already be part of his mind.
Choice and conditional love are parts of a flawed human mind he didn't have until the knowledge granted him that freedom.
