Sin and excuses

Genesis 3:12

The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.”

What is Adam saying here ?

He is saying: God its your fault, because the one you gave me tempted me...

But who actually did sin ? It was Adam, sinning freely. Satan cannot force someone to sin, he can only tempt.

We are without excuse.

Does Jesus teach election ?

From Matthew 24
For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23  Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

31
And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
