Explanation of Genesis 3:4
Napsal(a) Brian David
Here again the people of the Most Ancient Church, feeling life as their own (the woman) and influenced by the reasoning from their senses (the serpent), question the Lord. They had been told it would destroy them spiritually to use their minds to explore the nature of the Lord. But would it really? They could not, from their senses, see any reason why.

#147 Sin: The Way In, and the Way Out
Napsal(a) Jonathan S. Rose
Title: Sin: The Way In and the Way Out
Topic: First Coming
Summary: Scripture says that sin comes first into our desires, then into our thoughts, and finally, if we let it, into our actions. When it hits the level of action, everything changes. The way it leaves us is the same way it came: first from our actions, then from our thoughts, and finally from our desires.
