Did the Serpent deceive A&E by lying, or by telling the truth?

I think you have quite an imagination.

Would you refer to yourself as the bride of Christ?

I'm just a Bible believer / defender.

Something else I find to be odd, the curse that is given to Adam and Eve is actually played out between two brothers, their offspring. God told Cain that if he did good he’d rule the younger all the days of his life, and ables desire would be to him alone, but if he did evil,,,, sin was at the door?

Where do we read of God telling Cain that if he did good he’d rule the younger all the days of his life? God said to Cain:

“Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 7 “If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”” (Ge 4:6-7 NKJV)

Nothing about Cain ruling over Abel.

The knee-jerk reaction is to claim the serpent lied.
Let's give this a closer look.

Genesis 2:15-17 NIV
The Lord God took the man and put him in
the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
16 And the Lord God commanded the man,
“You are free to eat from any tree in the garden;
17 but you must not eat from the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil,
for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”

Genesis 3:1-5 NIV
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of
the wild animals the Lord God had made.
He said to the woman, “Did God really say,
‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
2 The woman said to the serpent,
“We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,
3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit
from the tree that is in the middle of the garden,
and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
4 “You will not certainly die,”
the serpent said to the woman.
5 “For God knows that when you eat from it
your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,
knowing good and evil.”

Genesis 3:22 NIV
And the Lord God said,
“The man has now become like one of us,
knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed
to reach out his hand and take also from
the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”

Did the Serpent deceive A&E by lying,
or by telling the truth?

Discussion questions:
- What were the stated consequences WHEN Adam and Eve ate from the tree?
- Did Adam understand these consequences?
- What did the serpent say to A&E?
- Was there any truth in what the Serpent said?
- Why did God ban the man from the garden?

Bonus question:
- What sort of death did A&E die the day they ate thereof?

of course satan lied this is evident he twisted the truth and manipulated, do you not see this?


“You will not certainly die,”
the serpent said to the woman.

this is all about OBEDIENCE.

Nothing about Cain ruling over Abel.

And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
— Genesis 4:6-7

I see, sin is a person, and a male.
