Concerning eternity, what have you been promised, and who promised it?
"And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:" (Gen 3:22).
I strongly believe that there is no man (dead or alive) that doesn't want to live forever. Sin brought death to man that knew no death, and since then the unredeemed man has been under the bondage of sin and death.
This SIN is the knowledge of good and evil, the knowledge that says: "God is not up to it..God is not telling the truth..God can't and will not..God can't be the omnipotent(unlimited power), omnipresent(present everywhere at the same time) and omniscient(all knowing)..Etc." This sin is simply saying that God is not who He says He is.
The Great Deception.
At this point, the question on everyone's mind is: "How then did man fall into Sin?"
It's a very interesting and very subtle one indeed.
"And the serpent (that is, the carrier of the devil) said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." (Gen 3:4-5).
Here the devil presented another option or will to man, which is a possibility but still not the will of the Father. The will of God for man wasn't to become as evil gods, but as the sons of God. You become whatever you know and hold to be true. To have the knowledge of God, you will become "like" God, that is, a god.
But what kind of god?
Is it the one that knows and will do no evil ( sons of God), or the one that knows and do evil (sons of perdition)? This same deception and its promises is being championed by the same antiChrist spirit today. BEWARE.
