Bible Question:
Shalom y'all, The little discussion we had going earlier about lying got me to thinking about this particular scene in Gen. 3:3 when Eve said to the serpent that God said not to even touch the fruit. We know that God created everything perfect, nothing was flawed, so I don't think it could be she was confused or forgetful (after all there wasn't a whole lot to remember, just don't eat from that tree over there, how hard is that?) And she hadn't eaten the fruit yet, so sin has not yet entered the picture. Her spirit was still alive and well. How did she know to lie since that would come with the knowledge of good and evil from the forbidden tree? (I do realize that Adam could have told her that, but then the only change would be how did Adam know to lie?) Does anyone have any thoughts on this, or better yet, done some study on it? Just thinking :-) Cheri |
Bible Answer: Dear Cheri, The woman said to the serpent, "From THE FRUIT OF THE TREES of the garden we may eat; but from THE FRUIT of the tree WHICH IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GARDEN, God has said, 'You shall not eat from it OR TOUCH IT, or you will die.’” (Gen 3:2-3) The LORD God commanded the man, saying, "From ANY TREE of the garden you may eat FREELY; but from the tree of THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL you shall not eat, FOR IN THE DAY THAT YOU EAT FROM IT you will SURELY die.” (Gen 2:16-17) You see the diifference between the verses. I think they do not render the idea that Eve lied, but just that she was not entirely submissive thus expressing God's words her own way. 1 Tim 2:11-14 Shalom Azure |
