[QUOTE="Intercessor, post: 30703239, member: 26"] So the devil was “conceited” and his heart was lifted up pridefully and he said “I will make myself like The Most High” — interesting that he used the same lie to tell the pair in the garden that the forbidden produce would “make them like God” — he used the exact same lie that caused him to fall to cause the fall of man (why use something different?). The Apostle John warns of the boastful pride of life — indeed isn’t every “self-made” person in effect trying to be their own god down to this very day??? Even more interesting is the nature of the lie — the serpent promised them something they already had inherent in their own creation — the likeness of God, as it is written in Genesis 1:26-27 “Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Genesis 1:26-27 Like a corrupt salesman “selling ice water to Eskimos,” the devil thus deceived the world, offering them something they already possessed through disobedience, lying it would have no ill-effect of death, “murderer from the beginning” Jesus said in John of the devil, “when he lies he speaks from his own nature, being the father of lies.” [/QUOTE]
