The story of Eve, is far different than the story of Adam, because Eve was the focus of God in Eden. She was caught up in the grip of her strong desires for the things of God, BEFORE her time had come for them. The thing that tripped her up, and stalled her destiny, was " Spiritual Knowledge." She wanted to KNOW, what God knows. She wanted the truth, and there was nothing wrong with her wanting it. Her error was TAKING it, before GOD offered it, she took it from satan. And that is the common error of believers, but it is an error that is HIDDEN from their understanding, because they know what they desire is Good.
satan came and preached " Another Gospel", which was layered on the surface as the true gospel, because he USED the truth to deceive. He used the truth on Eve, not lies. And he is still doing this to believers.
2Corinth. 11:4;" For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, OR, you receive a different Spirit which you have NOT received, a different gospel you have not accepted, endure this as best you can." satan cannotgive the Spirit of God, but he can " Offer it", its just a different Spirit, that looks like Gods to humans. FEELS like Gods Spirit, and always is topped off by the iceing of knowledge, our true desire.
We then receive a different Spirit, which is not really receiving the true Spirit of God. But the knowledge of God is being used to lure us into the iceing, the sweet layer of truth. And we grow fat on things that taste good, but are not really nutricious. Fat enough to " Sit on the Knowledge", and swell in our desires for the things of God.
Its Knowledge that we are after, knowledge that we worship, knowledge that we feel set us apart. Knowledge was used to " Lure Eve into the trap." And it KEPT her there. She grew fat the rest of her life, now she " Knew, certain things that God knew", and that was her reward. And Adam shared in thatr reward, and the bible shows nothingelse that God used them for, other than to reproduce children, and the Knowledge they absorbed. And that knowledge couldnot change the world their offspring quickly established.
But the " Fruit in the bottom of the bottle", lured the woman further into her desires. That fruit they were offered, Knowledge of Good and Evil, was NOT a fruit of the Spirit! THAT is the real deception satan very smoothly established. She thought she was getting some fruit off of the Tree of Life, she desired Gods Spirit, which that fruit of Life represented. Instead, she was given " Another gospel", she received a different Spirit, and THAT Spirit has been passed down through the generations.
And if allowed, I want to go into that Spirit which has been passed down to believers. satan has not changed his approach, he still offers the fruit which he knows believers strongly desire NOW! They want to know everything now!
But is that what God is doing, is that what he is giving now? Is he giving everything now?
Peace.
