1 Timothy 2:14
And Adam was not deceived (ἠπατήθη), but the woman being thoroughly deceived (ἐξαπατηθεῖσα), fell into transgression.
She Transgressed the Law
The serpent first introduces a question concerning what she can eat, Genesis 3:1
Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
In reply, she brings in the tree they are not to eat from, Genesis 3:2-3
And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”
The serpent speaks against the truth, while using some truth to mask the lie, Genesis 3:4-5
Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
Being thoroughly deceive today
Through empty words, Ephesians 5:6
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
The one thinking he is religious but not bridling the tongue, James 1:26
If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.

For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.

Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.
Concerning the coming of Christ for His Church, 2 Thessalonians 2:3
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
Corrupting the workings of the mind, 2 Corinthians 11:3
2 Corinthians 11:3
But I fear somehow as the serpent thoroughly deceived Eve in his craftiness, thus he will corrupt the working of your minds from the simplicity, the [simplicity] in the Christ.
They seek to corrupt, bring to ruin, the workings of the mind
How Satan’s mind works, 2 Corinthians 2:11
lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.
The minds of the Jews when reading the Old Testament, 2 Corinthians 3:14
But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.
Satan blinds the minds of the unbelievers to the gospel, 2 Corinthians 4:4
whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
We are to bring every thought (working of the mind) into captivity to obedience to the Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:5
casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
God’s peace will guard the workings of our minds, Philippians 4:7
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Corruption relates to the old man - who we were before salvation
The old man is corrupted according to deceitful desires, Ephesians 4:22
that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,

But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves.
Religion, Revelation 19:2
For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.”
The simplicity of the Christ
The Christ is a new creation, 2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Both Jew and Gentile are equal in the Christ, Colossians 3:11
where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.
Neither circumcision or uncircumcision avails, bu the new creation, Galatians 6:15

How They Corrupt, 2 Corinthians 11:4
2 Corinthians 11:4
For if the one coming proclaims another Jesus, which we did not proclaim, or you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different gospel which you did not accept, you yourselves tolerate well.
Proclaiming Another of the same kind Jesus
Cults typically teach a different Jesus
Assemblies claiming to be Christian
Catholicism and all its off branches, Revelation 2:20
Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
Reformed (Covenant) Assemblies, Revelation 3:1
“And to the angel of the church in Sardis write,
‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.
Progressive Assemblies, Revelation 3:15-16
“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
Receiving a different Spirit
Pentecostal, Charismatic Assemblies
Deception through mimicking Spiritual gifts
Speaking in tongues
A sign to the Jews, Acts 10:45-46
And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.
Then Peter answered,
A dialect that was understood by the Jews, Acts 2:7-11
Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.”
Caused itself to cease, 1 Corinthians 13:8
1 Corinthians 13:8
Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will be rendered ineffective; whether there are tongues, they will cause themselves cease; whether there is knowledge, it will be rendered ineffective.
Sign Gifts (Healing, Miracles)
Deception through false prophecy
No prophets today, 2 Peter 2:1
But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.
Prophecy ceased when the full revelation was given, 1 Corinthians 13:8
1 Corinthians 13:8
Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will be rendered ineffective; whether there are tongues, they will cause themselves cease; whether there is knowledge, it will be rendered ineffective.
Deception through a different gospel
One based on law, Galatians 1:6
I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,
Using False Gospels
Repentance of sin for salvation

Accepting Jesus into your heart
Using fear - Judgment, condemnation, hell-fire
