- My answer:

- The majority follows man’s tradition!

- The majority has cut itself from God!

- Jesus said his message would be corrupted!

- The apostles said Jesus’ message would be corrupted!

- It implies many efforts to get away from man’s tradition!

- It implies many efforts to connect to God!

- It implies many efforts to listen to Jesus’ message through all this corruption!

All in Adam were already dead, whether they took from the tree or not, no life was in them. Inside Adams body and soul was only death, even the children he could have which were already in him were dead while Adam was alive on earth.

life then is known and proven to be only in Jesus Christ, as testified..

John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

John 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

- My answer:

- When both Adam and Eve rejected God, they started to die, they started to get older, the body started to lose its abilities, man started to deteriorate!

- But Adam could live 932 years!

- Of course, compared to eternal life, it is nothing!

- Of course, living in a world with more and more violence, it is a nonsense!

- Peace against violence!

- Living in a world of greed and selfishness is a nonsense!

- It is like being dead!

Genesis 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.

Adam and Eve never did get to discern good and evil, that comes only with Jesus Christ..

Hebrews 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

- My answer:

- When Adam and Eve rejected God’s authority, they started to decide by themselves what was good and evil!

- When we do something wrong, we know it’s wrong!

- Then it is different when we keep doing it or we decide to change of attitude!

- God warned Cain but he didn’t listen!

- He kept doing and thinking wrong!

- That’s free will!

- After rejecting God’s authority, Adam and Eve hid!!!!

To be as gods, knowing good and evil, doing good and evil, but not as a creator, as all was created already by Jesus Christ ( the only true GOD.)

Genesis 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.

Isaiah 41:23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.


Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

- My answer :

- Different times, different knowledge !

- We have examples of faithful servants of God and they didn’t have the Bible !

- And they could be excellent examples of faithfulness !

- Through the Bible, we can benefit from such examples !

- Many don’t care and they are believers !

- Believers in what ?

Eve did not think, oh I can be God now.

Eve, as written, saw that the tree can make her wise ( knowing good and evil as gods, but not creating as being God)

Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

- My answer:

- The devil made the comparison!

- We are told about a process!

- It doesn’t happen all at once!

- It is progressive!

- The more you think, the more you want to do it!

- Think about the angels who decided to oppose God and go to the earth and marry women!

- And angels are supposed to be superior to men!

- Everyone is equal in front of stupidity!

- My answer:

- Straighten?

- Seriously!

- I would say studying is required!

- We must never be satisfied!

- If we are satisfied, it means we need to study a lot more!

- The Pharisees and the scribes were satisfied but they were completely wrong!

Its good you can tell the first half of the story, so I can remind us of the conclusion that God has shared.


Eve used no free will, she was beguiled by the devil, instead of knowing simplicity is only in Jesus Christ. ( God)

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.


So Eve did not decide by herself to go away from God, as she had no wisdom to do that with, hance relying only on the deceiving tongue of the serpents subtlty.

Neither could Eve desire wisdom, as there was no wisdom to be found, the devil was only deceiving them.

God judges among the gods( to be as gods knowing good and evil)

They are unjust, and do no justice.

God sums them all up asknowing not, no understanding, and being in darkness, and to be gods, ( knowing good and evil as Adam and Eve) but to die like men.


Then God arose to judge the earth through Jesus Christ on earth..


Psalm 82:1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

- My answer:

- The devil wants every human being to go away from God!

- He is ready to do everything he can!

- Men have been told!

- They have free will!

- The final decision belongs to human beings!

- We are not robots!

- It is always possible to change of attitude, that’s free will!

- Adam and Eve didn’t have the same possibility because they were created perfect!

- The angels who became demons because they oppose God didn’t have the same possibility!

- But we can change of attitude and get closer to God!

- God could have destroyed Adam and Eve and started again!

- But the angels were watching!

- They could think the devil was right, human beings could do without God’s authority!

- And why not, the angels!

- But today we have the evidence that the ONLY UNIVERSAL LEADER IS GOD AND THERE IS NO ONE ELSE!

- And God can put an end to this trickery!

Now it is time to be clothed with salvation, and there is time as testified:

Psalm 132:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

2 Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
6 By pureness, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
13 Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.

- My answer:

- But we must hurry because the time is limited!

- And when it is too late, it is too late!

- If you think you can take the last train, there will be no last train!

- God and Jesus know what is in our hearts!

Today we hear the voice of God by not hardening our hearts, to not fall into all of those same examples of unbelief....

Hebrews 4:7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
