we find God asking adam and eve "where are u" .... when they were hiding themselves after the sin of disobedience... clearly points out that "just disobedience" was not the single deciding factor. if disobedience was the only factor then as soon as the woman ate that fruit we could have had a scenario where an angel met them with judgment instead of God himself coming down and asking them something like "where are u"...
we find similarities with this instance and the life of king Saul, when samuel questions saul after the war ... saul point to the people and says "the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God" ... and God removed his fellowship from Saul - and we know the punishment that came upon him was great
in davids life .... even though his sin was great, he immediately repented when the prophet met him .... ofcourse he had some punishment .... but God did not remove his presence from David ...
and to get back this fellowship between God and man ... Christ had to offer himself as a sin offering.
