 Created to have dominion, Adam and Eve were placed in the Garden of Eden. They were permitted to eat the fruit from any of the trees in the Garden, except for from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Challenging God's directives, the serpent asked, did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the Garden? Eve replied, it's only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the Garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, you must not eat it or even touch it. If you do, you will die. The serpent lied, you won't die. Both Adam and Eve gave in to the cravings of the flesh and entered a fallen state. I want to point something out here. Notice the strategy used by the serpent. First he asked, did God really say? And then he insisted, you won't die. Before someone will contradict God's word, they will first question his word. Be careful to not do as the serpent did. Be careful to not question God's word.
