I understand that the primary root of "Nāḥāš" is to whisper, hence it BECAME used for snakes and mediums. So maybe the reason Genesis refers to satan as a whisperer is because He was speaking to Eve hoping to keep his conversation away from God's ears. maybe he used a snake to do so, because snakes whisper or hiss.
Predestination is misunderstood...

He chose us before the foundation of the world, could us all meas His chose how he could create us in his image, to have characteristics like God.
God
come on be brave,
Who is the US here, in both scriptures.
He chose us before the foundation of the world, could us also mean He chose how he would create us in his image, to have characteristics like God.
God said let us make man in our image God said
Well who is the us.
Well foundations could also mean heaven.
In the beginning he created the heavens, (the foundations) and then the earth 😊
So before he chose how to create man in an image he talked it through with the foundations ( the heavens).
You know the part where God said let us make man in our image.
Well who is the US
And no it is not the USA 😊

You mean from verse 22 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.' ?
I don't think He meant they were literally like God, but they now had this form of understanding about "good and evil" that they did not have before.
Or are you addressing the living forever part?

God is not presenting a question. He is informing what is going to be done in verse 26 And God said: 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness;
And in verse 27 God does what He informed He would be doing 27 And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him;
Notice verse 27 His OWN Image, the image of God.
So God only made man in His image and NO ONE else.

yep that one of more than person deciding how man should not be created, along with God creating man in his present time also gets rejected, along with God not wanting to watch mans every move in the Garden also gets rejected.
You do realise that God had means and ways of knowing every man's move in the garden, without having to know what they would do before they did it.
But then all this would be rejected because we have hundreds of Calvinists following the doctrine of one man.
Well you see you can be true is some part knowing God, but it's impossible to know God in full.
Scripture confirms the secrets belong to God. 😊

God knew what Adam would do because He is omniscient and omnipresent. And God could have had His Angels there watching.
Think about a miracle. It happens for us in real time. But God knew it would happen and had Angels in place to perform the miracle before it ever was needed. God is the SAME yesterday, today, forever. He never changes. So stop acting like He does.

Ephesians 6:12 tells us there is a struggle against the spiritual forces in the heavenly realms, and therefore we must take up the full armor of God in order that you may be able to withstand (Ephesians 6:13). And 1 Corinthians 2 spiritual wisdom that God reveals to us by the Spirit, which the carnal man cannot hear but is received by the spiritual man. And, having received this wisdom into his own spirit, the spiritual man becomes stronger as the natural man progressively becomes weaker. But if he does not receive this wisdom, which from the Spirit, of which intention is to preserve him, completely, he is left defenseless to withstand the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms, and these forces' aim is to destroy him, completely.

Most of us live in cities or country areas but not far from a city that we're familiar with. And once we enter that city we know this area is known for drugs, this area for prostitution, this area has high crime, this area is wealthy, and so forth. How do you think these areas within every city become a stronghold of evil and some areas are free from it? These are battle grounds Christians should be ruling. Greater is He in me than the one in the world. Christians really haven't done their jobs at all, have they?
