1 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | stjohn | 208152 | ||
Hi brother Steve: Good question; but we see that the serpent didn't refute her repeating of what she considered to be the gist of God's command, but responded with what is generally considered the first lie in scripture, and therefore makes satin the father of all lies, as Jesus calls him in, John 8:44, he is the source of all lying. when he said to her, "You will not surely die." and then strays further from truth by saying, "For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." so I can't really see Eve as telling a lie. And though we do see God calling His creation "good" because of her pride in wanting to be more then God had made her to be, and so, to be more like Him, was indeed the temptation at hand. It, (Creation, and Eve being part of it) was not so perfect, as in the sense that we attribute perfection to God himself, so we would not necessarily consider Adam, or Eve, as being perfect, obviously, though they were not fallen yet, per-say, but it was indeed in their nature to succumb to temptation. Just my two cents. God bless John |

stjohn, You say, he is the source of all lying. when he said to her, "You will not surely die." and then strays further from truth by saying, "For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." Did the serpent surely LIE to Eve? Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. For God said afterward. Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: "You will not surely die." Yup that there surely is a lie of Satan. In Him Imm |

"behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil." Gen 3:5 "which is generally understood as an irony or sarcasm at man's deception by Satan, who promised man, and he expected to be as gods, knowing good and evil; behold the man, see how much like a god he looks, with his coat of skin upon his back, filled with shame and confusion for his folly, and dejected under a sense of what he had lost, and in a view of what he was sentenced to; yet must be understood not as rejoicing in man's misery, and insulting over him in it, but in order the more to convince him of his folly, and the more to humble him, and bring him to a more open repentance for affecting what he did, and giving credit to the devil in it:" John Gill |
