Who lied God or the Devil?

Question

In Genises we read God telling Adam and his mate Eve, the DAY you shall eat off this tree you shall surley die, and the Devil telling Eve you shall not surely die when you eat from this tree but have ever lasting life.

And Adam lived for another 450 years after eating off that tree, so who lied God or the Devil?

Answer 1

God created Adam to live forever in the Garden of Eden. When Adam disobeyed God, he was cast out of the garden, and could no longer eat of the tree of Life, and therefore died. So, who lied?

Answer 2

The story of Adam and Eve is a metaphor for the fetus, the soul of the fetus and the womb. The womb is the garden of Eden, a steady state condition exists therein where there are no opposites. The fetus is without an intellect and thus without the knowledge of good and evil. Adam is the body or red earth, the clay from which mans physical body is made, in other words made from minerals. Eve is the soul or the intangible, invisible, abstract essence that every human body comes into being with. The soul comes into being at the joining of the sperm and the ovum. Without the soul we would not be able to think in the abtract or comprehend the intangible.

When the pregnancy has reached term, generally speaking, the brain of the fetus secretes a hormone, pitosin, into the mothers blood stream which induces labor.

The fetus is ejected out into the world of the knowledge of good and evil, dying to the womb and entering the life of this physical seeming world. The world of the womb can never be re-entered. Its true, you can't go back into the garden of Eden. We may dally at the gates now and then but we can't get back in there.

The physicality of the world is an illusion. Place a pencil eraser in the middle of a football field and a pin head at one end of the field and you have the approximate spatial relationship between the electron and the nucleus of an atom. There is lots and lots of space between the two "things". Those "things" aren't things at all, they are more like tendencies, vibrations, forces than they are things. They are such that they are almost abstract and probably at their root they are nothing but abstract, a Thought.

Of course, God is the Perfect Source of all perfections and does not lie. To lie is to be imperfect.

Answer 3

Genesis 2:17 " But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad YOU must not eat from it, for in the day YOU eat from it YOU will positively die." Genesis 3:4 At this the serpent said to the woman: "you positively will not die. 5. For God knows that in the very day of your eating from it your eyes are bound to be opened and YOU are bound to be like God, KNOWING good and bad. Looks like Satan lied and God was telling the truth. A biblical day is 1,000 years, Adam and Eve died within that day. Allowing the earth to be populated so as we could eventually see paradise on earth again after this issue of Jehovah's sovereignty was settled

Answer 4

Again scripture taken out of context! Satan is the father of lies according to the Word of God and God does not lie. The day that Adam and Eve sinned, they would experience death and they and we as humans still do! God didn't mean that day they sinned they would die. But that if they sinned, they would die and they did at the end of their lives. They would've never died had they not sinned. They were no longer allowed in the Garden of Eden where the tree of LIFE was that they ate from (which kept them alive forever). Since they could no longer go into the garden where this tree was, they could not eat from it again, therefore, they died later on. Please do not accuse God of lying just because you did not read and or understand scripture. Just ask someone to explain next time, ok?

Answer 5

They were thrown out of the Garden of Eden. Adam live a long life but HE DIED. He could have lived forever with Eve in the Garden of Eden. So obviously Satin lied.

Answer 6

The Devil. 450 Years is not everlasting life. Our bodies have been created to regenerate and essentially last forever. Had Adam and Eve not eaten from the tree, they would have lived and eternity, and so would we.

Answer 7

God cautioned Adam to not eat of the tree of knowledge, "or you shall surely die."

Yet the serpent tempted Eve, and she did eat. and gave some to her husband, and he ate also.

God was angry, but He knew that the devil tempted Eve by promising her everlasting life. And so, God had compassion. He sent them out of the garden, and made it hard for them to survive. They had to learn to fend for themselves. And Eve was also punished by having to bear her children in pain. That was just punishment.

Do you see a lie in that? I don't.

Answer 8

A day to Jehovah is like a thousand years. So the bible tells us.
Therefore, Adam dieing at 930 years of age, he died within
that day, by Jehovah's time table.
It was and still is Jehovah's purpose for the earth to be filled with the children of Adam and Eve who will worship Jehovah as their God.
Soon Jehovah will take action to vindicate his name and restore his purpose for the earth.

Answer 9

Satan is the liar. Just ask yourself, Where is Adam and Eve at NOW. They are dead. God told him that they would die and they did. Satan told them that they would live forever and they didn't. And it has been said that a 1,000 years to us, is but a day to God. We do not know God's time. But we do know that God does not lie. They are both DEAD.

Answer 10

wow I never realized that until now.
God created Adam, Eve, The Devil and that snake right?
God is Mr. Know it all right?
So why did he release sin into the world?
Why did he even allow all that stuff to happen?
Why did he even put the tree of knowledge in the garden if he knew (all knowing God) Eve would eat from it?
