Adam & Eve Fell Into Sin Differently



(1Ti 2:14)"And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." As we continue to look at the origin of sin, it's important to see that Adam and Eve fell into sin differently. 1) Eve was deceived. Satan deceived Eve, meaning that he tricked her into responding contrary to the commandment of the Lordthrough deception. Satan is a master at deception. He possessed the body of the serpent, disguising himself as something good rather than evil. He also got Eve to doubt God's Word through the use of semantics. Satan loves to twist scripture, or to leave out parts of it, or he will even take it out of context. Eve was tricked and fell after believing Satan's deception. 2) Adam fell by simply following Eve. Another way that we fall into the trap of sin is by simply following others that are wrong. People do it all the time today. For example, take salvation. Many follow blindly religion, or what's popular, or charismatic men, not really studying for themselves what the truth really is. The Bible says that there is only one way to be saved, through Jesus Christ. Following others blindly will only lead to the judgment of sin and death, which is exactly what happened to Adam .

He is God!!


Was the earth created in six literal days, and if it was does God really need our help to explain this simple truth to mankind when it's specifically stated in His Word? I think not! (Genesis 2:1-2) "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made." It's amazing to me, how many Christians think that somehow God hid between certain scripture verses some type of secret that only the intelligent mind can understand. As if we without their help cannot fully understand God's simple words, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Or even the words, "and the evening and the morning were the first day, or 2nd,3rd,4th,5th, and 6th." God created the earth just as He stated in His Word, in six literal 24 hour days. Why, because He is God, and with God all things are possible. It ought not to be a shock to anyone that with just His spoken word, God created the earth!
