KJV Genesis 3:5
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.
Let us consider the fact that Satan managed to deceive one third of the angels in heaven, all of whom stood in the very presence of God. He used blatant lies... He used hypnosis... Slander... Subliminal suggestions... All designed to one end, create a mindset wherein God's character is maligned, and His motives misunderstood. By this He incited rebellion, an attempted political coup that divided heaven.
Notice that God at no time rebuked either Adam or Eve for their disobedience. Amy action of discipline that God took subsequently to their fall, was designed to restore them in character and faithfulness. Sin took a massive toll on the human race, it has inflicted upon the minds of mankind a misguided and misapprehension of God's true character.
And in the above verses from Genesis, you can see Satan infusing into the mind of Eve the suggestion that God was holding something back, something that He was hiding from Eve because God was jealous for His power and authority, and wanted no competition. God doesn't want you to eat this tree because of you do, you will become gods like Him, and like another poster said, you can then make up your own rules. The mantra of Luciferianism...do what thou wilt. You don't need God's standard of morality to guide you, you are already holy. You don't need to be a part of God's government, He is arbitrary and legalistic. You don't need God's commandments. You can be righteous without reference to the law. Form your own government. Be your own boss. Make your own laws.
Let us not fall into the same trap, and think to ourselves that we can work independently of the will of God, and decide for ourselves what constitutes right and wrong. Let the Word of God decide. Let the scriptures decide. Let us not be deceived as Eve was, in thinking there is any promise of life in disobedience.
KJV Psalms 146:2-10
2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:
8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
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.
