If I recall correctly the scriptures refer unto rightly dividing the word of God, yet some confuse that with the NT scripture of 2 Tim 2:15 which refers unto the word of truth. However, how can one divide the word of truth if it is indivisible which all the various translations of 2 Tim 2:15 demonstrate:
- 2 Timothy 2:15, NIV: "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth."
- 2 Timothy 2:15, ESV: "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."
- 2 Timothy 2:15, KJV: "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
- 2 Timothy 2:15, NASB: "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth."
- 2 Timothy 2:15, NLT: "Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth."
- 2 Timothy 2:15, CSB: "Be diligent to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who doesn't need to be ashamed, correctly teaching the word of truth."
The rightly dividing the LORD's word can be read in the passage of Isaiah 28, or at least IMO.
But back to the topic, so in the day the LORD made the male and female as one flesh, and called their name Adam.
Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. Gen 5:2
In Matthew 19:4-6 it continues that for this cause shall the male and female leave father and mother and cleave unto their help mate, and they too shall be one flesh. For they are no more two (plural) but one (singular). So therefore let 'them' that God made in the beginning be not put asunder. Which is interesting since it written that when men began to multiply upon the face of the earth that daughters were born unto them, but I digress.
So how could the female be deceived if the male wasn't deceived since they were no longer two but one flesh, not to mention that the male didn't call his helpmate's name Eve until after eating from the fig tree. Seems like if they ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil then they would have to had sewn leaves of diver sorts together, you know the good leaves along with the evil leaves. But in either case that mean the male must have been there with the female at time since they covered themselves.
But then again is it written in Genesis 1:12 that man could eat of every of fruit tree being the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was its fruit? Or did it say in Gen. 1:29 that man could eat of ever tree, in the which the fruit is a tree yielding seed, known as nuts? FYI nuts are an excellent source of protein which is necessary for healthy diet lacking meat product.
Some claim that fruits are just a gateway chemical to processed sugars which end up in diabetes.
But I thought all scripture was, or maybe is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness the man of God (male or female) may be perfect before the LORD, being educated unto all good works.
