Bible Question:
In Genesis 3.22 and 23 said: 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:Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken." When Adam become sinner, become like God or like Satan and his angels ? Who is this voice talking with the first couple? Satan can lie, masking himself to looks like or speak like God? Adam and Eve was blind spiritual or not? |
Bible Answer: Ricardo, I added (parens) to make your questions clearer for me. Let me know if I am wrong When Adam become sinner, (did he) become like God or like Satan and his angels? ... None of the above. God is perfect (Mat 5:48). Both Satan and angels on both sides already have chosen (Eze 28). We are nort perfect and can choose. Who is this voice talking with the first couple? ... The Godhead is talking with each other in these verses. Satan talked with Eve (3:1, 4-5). God also did (vv 9, 11, 13). (Can) Satan lie, masking himself to looks like or speak like God? ... He did pervert God's word (vv 1-4). He is a liar (John 8:44). He also starts false doctrine (1Ti 4:1-3). We need to check out whatever we hear (Acts 17:11). (Were) Adam and Eve was blind spiritual or not? ... I think they both were not paying attention. Steve |
