"And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"
The serpent was certainly in the loop and was aware of the commandment of God. So he puts the credibility test. He does not deny God's word outright but instead how convinced she was of the word of as the final say on the matter of eating. She was for answering him. In a roundabout way he set out to see the whole matter from his standpoint. The alternative truth or contextual truth as a teacher holds on laity who is his captive audience relies on the same gambit. God says,"Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:/ Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me./ Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein." Without sticking to the holiness of God and his Covenant in his Son, the credibility test as the serpent set before the woman was to loosen her commitment, the imposter churches steer the congregation away from the total commitment. It is how the nation who rejected the Son and set out to save their way of life embraced the Pagan overlords. The same trick works and CUFI and such organizations are to sow tares among the faithfuls.
In vv.4-5 we have the serpent's thesis:" And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:/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."
Cleverly he avoided from setting the knowledge untethered to truth. Without it what have we? Carnal wisdom. It is not knowledge of the holy but contentntious and devilish. "This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish./ For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work." (Jas.3.15-16)
"And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat."
The Spirit in the previous chapter the relationship of man and woman. "because she was taken out of Man" they were one flesh. What was Adam 'after our likeness' he was in frame of reference to the Word became flesh. Adam and Eve were one flesh as Christ and the Bride are of the self spiritual body and by the Covenant tied to the Word, 'Thy word is truth.' Without it what knowledge did eating of the fruit give him? He pointed his finger at his helpmeet. Carnal wisdom is devilish and cause divisions. We see the devil at work because his seed is sprouting already. He takes the role of a victim and blames his wife for setting the temptation before him. Notice he does not mention that he was so besotted with Eve and ate the fruit when she shared it with him. Where was his right to say,'no'? This is how Satan has created a trail of his progeny through the generations of man. Alternative truth is where you can argue from both side equally well. In order to fight the slow staining contagion of evil God sets for Noah the standard squarely based on the gospel. "And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years." (Gen.6.3) Man's life is set in multiples of 10. God says, for 'that he also is flesh' the number 10 workes as the number for condemnation. Since the fall the flesh is synonymous with law of sin and death. In order to indicate a generation, the Spirit has the tag of 100.
2.22-34 "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Jesus said,He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." This is how God sets holy family and it concerning his body. 'This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh;
