Proverbs 2My son, if thou wilt receive my

words, and hide my commandments with thee;

2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

Psalm 12:6-76 The words of

the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Deuteronomy 4:22 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command

you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of

the LORD your God which I command you.2 Peter 3:2,16

2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets…

16 …in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and

unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Genesis 29 And out of the ground

made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

• What was in the midst of the garden of Eden?

Genesis 216 And the LORD God

commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

• When could they eat of the good trees in the garden?

• How certain was the punishment?

Genesis 3

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

Genesis 32 And the woman said unto the

serpent, We may ___ eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden,

Genesis 2

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

3 … God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it,…

… lest ye die.• The serpent helps Eve with

her Bible..4 And the serpent said unto the

woman, Ye shall not surely die:

Genesis 2! Umm, really Eve, Chapter

and verse?

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Genesis 3

The Devils concern.

• Do you know what God said?– Gen. 3:1– Mat. 4:1-11

• Will you accept a religion of self over God.– Gen. 3:6,13

Devils battle ground

Matthew 1318 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

2 Corinthians 11

3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

2 Corinthians 11

13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Galatians 1

6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

Jeremiah 23:36And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no

more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of

the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.

Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my

path.John 8:12

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Psalm 119:130The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth

understanding unto the simple.

Matthew 6:22-2322 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore

thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

Ezekiel 28 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty,

thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I

will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

2 Corinthians 217 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God,

in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

1 Peter 1:22-2322 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying

the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
