What Actually Went Wrong Between Man And God After Creation? by Emusan(m): 7:40am On Dec 19, 2013
In our world today you don't need to be told before telling yourself the truth that something is truly going wrong somewhere somehow which is causing all these chaos.

Bible reference was taken from the book of Genesis 3:1-5
To minimized space I will only quote verse 4&5.
4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.
5 For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”


Previous verses show a conversation between Eve and a serpent which scripture later revealed that the serpent is "Satan"

After God created Adam & Eve, He gave them instruction not to eat from a certain fruit among the trees in the garden but with this instruction Satan made an accusation against God by called God a liar, how? He told the woman you will not die. It means Satan was claiming God is lying to you, but I'm the one telling you the truth. This is an issue that require time to settle to know who is truly honest about his word.

When Adam & Eve died, doesn't it prove that God is the one telling the truth and Satan is the one who is lying? Obviously, it did! But there was more to Satan's challenge.

Looking at verse 5 "...then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be like God, knowing good and bad" So Satan claimed that God was withholding something good from humans. This is the major challenge because by his words, Satan implied that Eve -and by extension(because God has said be fruitful and muitiply), all humans- would be better off without God's rulership.

When Adam & Eve finally hearken unto Satan's voice, the best way to address this by God, is to allow time to pass. God then polluted the universe in form of a curse by withdrawing some of His powers that substain the universe and allowed Satan and man to be in charge as Satan has already claimed.

The major point is not that God is playing any game with Satan but just to let Satan knows that he can never ever be like Him. Satan first rebellion is that he wants to be like the Most High having his own dominion this is the same impression Satan puts toward man that made man fell.

All the suffering we're seeing today i.e earthquake, hurricane, diseases, death, including Man causes are as a result of Satan thinking and opening man's eyes to be like God, ruling his own affair without God's control.

God has condemned Satan already into everlasting destruction by his actions, the eternal fire was not made for any human but for satan and his fallen angels. Then how can human be part of this eternal destruction? Anyone who still lives under Satan's lie will be one of his angel which God has already condemned with him.

From his lie flows out;
*All sort of immortality,
*murderer,
*evil knowledge (Man think there is no God and he can better off without God)
*inventor of evil things e.t.c

But as for those who are ready to be free from all these lies, God has given us a brief on this through His word-Bible and about 2000years ago a lamb shielded his blood for purification on the cross of Calvary. It only takes faith to believe and have assess to the promise of the Father because God has chosen a day in Himself to destroy Satan and his angels.

Will you be among the angels of satan who have already been condemned or being among those who God has reconciled unto Himself through Christ to escape the destruction?

who says there is no wisdom for man?
James 1:5-6.
5. If anyone of you lack wisdom,let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally,and unbraided not;and it shall be given him.
6. But let him ask in faith,nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
God is a wise God,there is nothing He will gain by not answering anyone who ask for the same with FAITH in HIM.
If He wanted you to be an animal,but He would have created you as one,but He didnt-He made you far higher than the animals.

See what God have for you and read with an open mind.
14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.
15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
