Genesis 3:1-3:6

The Fall

How did the world come to be in the state that it's in right now? Where did evil come from? The answer begins with a serpent that's very cunning. With the serpent's lie came the fall of man along with a third of the angels. Pastor Lloyd dissects the exchange between Eve and the serpent in the garden, where the Bible records the first lie. The next lie is especially sinister and is reflected in the New Age teaching that we can be our own god. Two Worldviews are represented; who will we trust?

  1. Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
  2. And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
  3. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
  4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
  5. 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.
  6. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
