Eve was deceived
Eve's transgression was that she was deceived to think that we are like animals; she thought that anything we do must be good because God made us that way. [1]
- The woman, representing mankind as the bride of Christ, chosen to learn from him, was deceived by the flesh. The instinct of man is an enemy of God; [2] making choices putting the 'self' in the position of God. It makes choices of 'good and bad' and usurps God's position as the one who declares 'good and evil'.
- ↑ Ge 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
- ↑ Ro 8:7 Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
- ↑ Ge 3:16 ¶ Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
