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: Eve was deceived by the serpent as we are told in 2 Cor 11:3 But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. Since she was innocent before the fall I personally do not think she was lying. After the fall she knew the difference between good and evil. We know that after the Lord's talk with them - an animal sacrifice was made and its fur was used to cover them. We believe this showed them their sin and that the price was a sacrifice; which pointed to the seed (Jesus Christ). Personally I think that is why when we speak unless we are quoting directly from the scripture we may leave out or add to the word of God. So I think its best to say I believe the word says when not directly quoting rather than God says because we may leave out or add to the word if we don't quote it exactly and that might mislead others.
