And lead us not into temptation?

 Are you familiar with the Lord’s Prayer?

 Ever pay particular attention to the line – “..and lead us not into temptation.”

 In the Lord’s prayer one is praying that the Lord not lead us into temptation – suggesting that it is God himself that leads us into the temptation that is sin.

 Do you doubt the word of God too?

Did the Serpent Deceive Eve?

The serpent did not lie or deceive anyone!

GENESIS 3:1-5

He [the serpent] said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’”

The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

“You will not surely die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil” (Genesis 3:1-5).

Read carefully and you will see that the serpent did not lie.

When Eve eats the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, two things happen, and both exemplify that the serpent was telling the truth!

First, Eve’s eyes are opened and she becomes like God knowing good and evil.

Second, she does not die after touching or eating the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge – as God had said she would. What the serpent has done is to expose God as the crafty one.
