Eva On the occasion of being alone, walking through Eden, the devil, taking advantage of the solitude of the woman, approached him to use as a vehicle for their evil desires. Thus, finding it without the protective company of someone who could support it in that circumstance, the devil launches an attack, not frontal, but subtle and cunning.
The key question was: "So God said Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?. We note that the devil distorts the Word of God in order to draw attention to women. Simultaneously subtly introduce doubt about the goodness of God: How could a good God you denied the right to eat the fruit of the trees? If he did everything well why the ban?
What do verses 2 and 3 in the knowledge that Eve?
indicate that she did not ignore the express command of God, even when it had received directly from him, but through Adam, who had explained it well.
What is the second step that tempting?
After you have entered a doubt, now the devil denies the veracity of the words spoken by God, introducing his partner in the rugged terrain of disbelief: DO NOT DIE!. But it goes even further. To reinforce his words adds an argument that not only makes the woman doubt about the goodness of God, but convinces her that the Creator "is not playing fair" with them. He is selfish, they do not want them to share the knowledge with him.
How women react?
Now their eyes have been diverted to the tree. She has accepted the words of the tempter. You have not meditated on all the goodness of God manifested to her, his eyes are dazzled with the brilliant arguments of the snake. And above all, with the object of temptation: the forbidden fruit.
As described by John (1 John 2:116) in relation to the tactics satanic temptation, the devil used the same engineering principles, both with Eve, as Jesus. First describe the terms:
World "terrestrial system under which Satan has fallen humanity organized on principles opposed to God "(Unger)
Meat" fallen human nature, the seat of our sinful impulses and inclinations that we enmity against God "(IDM)
TECHNICAL PRINCIPLES APPLIED TO:
" The lust of the flesh ... " It is the wish to have their seat or from the sinful nature of man and in some cases are degenerations of instincts and bodily needs "
EVA:" And the woman saw that was good for food "
JESUS:" Tell these stones be made bread ... "
" The lust of the eyes ... "They are the desires or inclinations of our sinful nature that are activated through the sense of sight.
EVA: "And it was pleasing to the eye ..."
Jesus: "He showed all the kingdoms of the world."
"The pride of life ..." is the ostentatious display of wickedness "(UNGER), which activates the selfish and rebellious nature, arrogance and pretensions of greatness of man"
EVA: "And also desirable for gaining wisdom ... "
JESUS:" I was ... the glory of them and said, "This will give you ..."
also note that both Eve and Jesus were physically alone. Although the temptation may come to us when are accompanied solitude is ripe for the devil to harm us. The devil has always applied the same principles tactical man, as these are perfectly suited to fall and sinful nature of man, or satisfies them.
What lesson we draw from this fact out of the previous lesson?.
A double lesson: first, the devil is not dialogue, is chides. Second, neither the most devastating attack that Satan set against the Word of God gives us the right to alter or to accommodate it. Remember that it is powerful.
The woman's reaction is immediate, the tempter has captured the attention it has managed to incite to a comment liar. Not idle the woman answers: "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat ..." (how dare you say such a thing?, Who says we can not eat the fruit of every tree?). "From the fruit of the tree in the midst of the garden, God said: DO NOT eat neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die" (3:2-3). Here is just the second step of the fall. Eva has added the phrase: Neither shall ye touch it.
took the first step: pay attention to the insidious words of the serpent, now gives the second, in an effort to vindicate the cause of his Creator Eva alters the words of the Lord.
