I think God lied when he told Adam and Eve they would die the day they ate the apple. (Of course, that depends what your definition of "is" is...snicker)

You, friends, are twisting God's words. He said they shall die that day.

No. he's the same the day beforehand of this, on the instant and the next day. To lie could be against His very being. No, God has no longer lied. Num 23:19-20 19 God isn't a guy, so he would not lie . he's no longer human, so he would not exchange his recommendations. Has he ever spoken and did no longer act? Has he ever promised and not carried it by way of? 20 hear, I won a command to bless; God has blessed, and that i won't opposite it! a million Sam 15:29 29 And he who's the attention of Israel won't lie , nor will he exchange his recommendations, for he's no longer human that he ought to alter his recommendations!" Titus a million:2-3 2 This fact provides them self belief that they have eternal existence, which God—who would not lie —promised them earlier the international began. Heb 6:18 18 So God has given the two his promise and his oath. those 2 issues are unchangeable because of the fact's impossible for God to lie. My coronary heart and soul already belong to the Lord, for this reason, i can't guess it. even however, in view that there are 4 distinctive Scriptures above (2 OT and a couple of NT) Are you waiting to your bible learn? :o)

The spiritual death process started the day that they disobeyed God and ate the fruit. The physical death occurred later. The one thing that God cannot do is lie.
Men may all lie, but God is always true - Romans 3:4
God is the God of Truth - Deuteronomy 32:4
God will not lie - I Samuel 15:29
God cannot lie - Titus 1:1-2
God promises us eternal life through His Son, Jesus. So He has given mankind a chance to come back to Him for forgiveness, eternal life and a personal relationship with Him, by acceptance of Jesus as their Lord and their Savior.

I do not know of anywhere in the Bible God or Satan lie. God did not lie to Adam and Eve. They ate the apple and they died. Just because they did not die the moment they ate the apple does not mean God lied. Had they not eaten the apple they could have lived forever.

The devil is a liar, a thief & a murderer since the beginning. The devil said Gods Word to Eve then twisted it.
It is written that God holds His Word above His Own Name. That means God is a God of integrity. God keeps His promises.
When Adam ate of the forbidden fruit, they were kicked out of the Garden of Eden & prevented from eating of the Tree of Life. They were like God; body, soul & spirit in the Garden. When they were cast out, they were denied the tree of life. They died spiritually. They were then a body, soul & a dead spirit. Then they died physically within 1000 yrs also. (A day to God is like a 1000 yrs, & a 1000 yrs like a day.) God put their souls where God put their souls.
They died spiritually when they ate of it (denied the tree of life). They died physically within an age (day/1000 yrs).
God doesn't lie. The devil does lie.

The devil gave Eve lies and half truth to deceive her to make the wrong choice. God never do sins, including He never lies.
Death means separation.
Spiritual Death: Be separated from God. (Adam and Eve experienced that when they sinned.
Physical Death: Separation of body, soul and spirit. (They started to die physically since their inmortality ended with sin, and they start suffering from diseases until eventual physical death).

Okay the devil lied to make eve eat the apple......but why did the devil and the lord play ''betting games''? I remember that there was a man who lost everything because there was a bet he would not blame the lord for his losses...the the lord repaid him 7time the amount back......but I thought the lord was honest and rightous as well.....or does he play us like chess pieces to the Inevitable?....which is death and the end of our world as we know it....

Joh 8:44 You are of the Devil as father, and the lusts of your father you desire to do. That one was a murderer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own, because he is a liar, and the father of it.
Satan can do nothing but lie, he is the father of lies.
Adam and Eve died spiritually in the garden, the relationship they had with God before was now broken, and they began the process of dying physically.

Adam and Eve are dead, last time I checked... So who lied, the one who told them they'd die, or the one who told them they wouldn't?
(It ain't rocket science...)
EDIT: And you are twisting God's meaning. If Adam and Eve could not die prior to eating, but they could die after eating, then it was God who gave true information (ie that they WOULD DIE IF THEY ATE IT) while the devil lied (ie that they WOULD NOT DIE IF THEY ATE IT). Again...it ain't rocket science, unless you try to turn it into a semantics game.

Satan lied when he told Adam and Eve they would not die... they did die... they died that second in the spirit and the flesh died later. God spoke the Truth since neither a spiritual nor a physical death would have happened had they not eaten the fruit.

"Again, the Evil One took him up to a very high mountain, and let him see all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them; And he said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will go down on your face and give me worship. " (Mathew 4: 8-9).
The devil was lying, he couldn't give Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them because those things didn't belong to him.
And no God didn't lie. He was talking about spiritual death.
Paz de Cristo
