<li><i>The Tempter</i>. The woman was approached by the serpent, Devil (<a id="si-Gen 3:1" onClick="return mV('Gen',3,1);">Gen 3:1</a>; <a id="si-Rev 12:9" onClick="return mV('Rev',12,9);">Rev 12:9</a>; <a id="si-Rev 20:2" onClick="return mV('Rev',20,2);">Rev 20:2</a>).</li>
|
|
<li><i>Means</i>. He approached her by speaking in her own language and by falsely interpreting the law of God (<a id="si-Gen 3:1-5" onClick="return mV('Gen',3,'1-5');">Gen 3:1-5</a>; <a id="si-Jhn 8:44" onClick="return mV('Jhn',8,44);">Jhn 8:44</a>).</li>
|
|
<li><i>Points Tempted</i>. The woman was tempted in
|
|
<ol type="a">
|
|
<li>the lust of the flesh,</li>
|
|
<li>the lust of the eye,</li>
|
|
<li>and the pride of life (<a id="si-Gen 3:1-6" onClick="return mV('Gen',3,'1-6');">Gen 3:1-6</a>; <a id="si-1Jo 2:16" onClick="return mV('1Jo',2,16);">1Jo 2:16</a>).</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<br><li><i>Results</i>. The woman was deceived (<a id="si-2Cr 11:3" onClick="return mV('2Cr',1,3);">2Cr 11:3</a>); the man was not (<a id="si-1Ti 2:13-15" onClick="return mV('1Ti',2,'13-15');">1Ti 2:13-15</a>), but the eating of the fruit brought the speedy sentence of death (<a id="si-Gen 2:16-17" onClick="return mV('Gen',2,16,17);">Gen 2:16-17</a>; <a id="si-Rom 5:12-19" onClick="return mV('Rom',5,'12-19');">Rom 5:12-19</a>). All the guilty parties were involved in the results.</li>
|
|
<li><i>General Results</i>.
|
|
<ol type="a">
|
|
<li>The serpent was doomed to disgrace and destruction;</li>
|
|
<li>the woman was doomed to sorrow in child-bearing and subserviency to her husband;</li>
|
|
<li>and the man was doomed to sorrow, disappointment, and hard labor (<a id="si-Gen 3:14-19" onClick="return mV('Gen',3,'14-19');">Gen 3:14-19</a>).</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><i>Remote Results</i>. Man's will power was doubtless weakened by transgression, but he still had the power to partake of the Tree of Life and live forever (<a id="si-Gen 3:22-24" onClick="return mV('Gen',3,'22-24');">Gen 3:22-24</a>). His memory was doubtless weakened by sin, but he remembered all the circumstances of the temptation and transgression (<a id="si-Gen 3:1-13" onClick="return mV('Gen',3,'1-13');">Gen 3:1-13</a>). His reason was doubtless weakened by disobedience, but he was able to attempt to shift the responsibility from his shoulders when confronted with the results of his crime (<a id="si-Gen 3:12-13" onClick="return mV('Gen',3,'12-13');">Gen 3:12-13</a>).</li>
|
|
<li><i>Important fact—Causes of Sin and Death</i>. Sin, death, and their terrible consequences were brought about by
|
|
<ol type="a">
|
|
<li>hearing,</li>
|
|
<li>believing,</li>
|
|
<li>and yielding to a lie.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<li>Beware!</li>
