In the O.T. book of Leviticus 24:10-16, there is a story about a fight where a half Israelite blasphemeth and curses the Lord. Subsequently, the Lord speaks to Moses and He commands that those who heard him curse, shall stone him dead. God continues to speak and spell it out that any that blasphemeth the name of the Lord "shall surely be put to death"(in the Hebrew this is a polyptoton,a figure of speech-dying he shall die-for emphasis) Any! Now if someone didn't believe in God, the Lord Jesus Christ, or His divine word. Which I know a few of you out there don't, Will you still die for your blasphemy and cursing of the Lord Jesus Christ? If your answer is no-I'm gonna rename you Eve because,like she did, you're already believing the talking serpent in the garden GEN 3:4 when he said "you shall not surely die(not dying you shall die-polyptoton)
Imagine that you believing a talking snake, but not the creator of all things! The fruit of disobedience, there is no apple in this story.
