Genesis:
"Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." 2:16-17
He says that if you eat from the Tree of Knowledge you'll die within the day.
"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." 3:4-5
The serpent says God lied and the knowledge tree will give knowledge, (which in any case the name seems to imply)
"She took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat." 3:6
And she died, right? That's what God said ...
"And the eyes of them both were opened" 3:7
So, God lied and Satan told the truth. Hmmm ...
