Full Truth
I’ve never understood this.
The real problem I see in this first conversation is something intersting and actually speaks to the intense freedom we have as human beings.
From the beginning God gave humanity the power of choice.
Choices are influenced by all sorts of things.
(commercials)
A touch of truth.
The best way to manipulate someone is to tell them a bit of what they know and add a bit of what you want them to know.
If we look at what the serpent does he uses a touch of truth to hide the lie, he puts a question into Eve’s mind that she knows isn’t true but now she’s thinking about it.
Now suddenly God has become the mean parent that doesn't want you to have any fun.
Starting out strong!
We don’t mean to slip.
No one sets out to fall.
No one sets out to fail.
We start out not only knowing what’s right, but trying to do what’s right, and when the first suggesting fails there’s always another one that ups the stakes.
The Lie Deepens!
At this point in the conversation the serpent has thrown all truth out the window, but he already has eve on the hook and he follows up with a “good” lie.
Lying to ourselves.
The serpent offers a good thing, arguably a thing that will make service and doing the right thing easier.
There are a few half truths in here.
Remember what we talked about last week.
Lets look at it.
There are a few half truths in here.
Remember what we talked about last week.
Lets look at it.
We were created in the image and likeness of God, and while we will never be God Adam and Eve were already Like God.
What the serpent is offering here is not being “like” God what he is telling Eve is you will be a god.
As if the only thing that makes God different is knowing right from wrong.
We know better.
We understand that God is more than knowing right from wrong.
Eve has gone into some self justification.
Good does not mean right!
Why we fail!
This Weeks Challenge
Take stock.
How much are you self justifying your actions, how many half truths have you embraced?
Write them down on PAPER.
Talk to God about them, make sure you listen then on Saturday afternoon burn the paper and ask God to help you lean into the full truth of what God has.
