The verse you quoted says whoever this person was was perfect at the time of moses well eden was before moses.
No. No one besides Christ was perfect after man's fall in the garden. God used symbology to illustrate spiritual doctrines. That's
why harmonizing scripture with scripture is necessary in order to find biblical truth.

[1Co 2:13 KJV] 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

Perhaps rogerg would like to tell us why he has just defended satan
Roger did NOT defend satan and it is absurd to state otherwise. If you actually think I did, then you were unable to comprehend anything that was posted. Maybe you need to cut back on your coffee intake.

ok you did not defend him, ok

Ok can you defend what else you wrote.

You said no one was perfect after i quoted Jesus saying satan has been a liar from the beginning.

So you also quoted scripture that suggests satan was perfect

Also the scripture you quoted suggests satan was perfect at the time of moses .

and you used this scripture to say this was satan in the garden

so I would like to know if you could now defend all this

I did that a long time ago. It's not because I don't like him. It's just that he just doesn't makes sense a lot of the time. :)


🎣

Yes this makes sense to me

Stroll on blossom 🙂

So here I am willing to discuss what I consider a grave violation of scripture.

But yet no one is willing because assumptions take priority.

Serpent said, you will not surely die. God said that man had become like Him, knowing good and evil.

“Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil."
Yes but he also cursed man to death and exiled them from accessing the tree of life in Eden

Man was already promised death if they disobeyed. My post was simply correcting what the other had said in error .:)

The Devil is a Liar.
I believe in Jesus when he said The Devil is a Liar.
But upon using my intellect or using Man's Understanding, it seems like Devil is telling the Truth.
Again, upon using Man's Intellect, God the Father is not telling the Truth.

Let us read this verses.
God The Father said if Adam & Eve eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge and Evil, they will surely die On That Day.
GENESIS 2:16-17
16
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

The Serpent said No You Will Not
GENESIS 3:4
4
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

When Eve & Adam ate the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge and Evil they did not die on that day. They live longer until they have children.

Another one:
The Serpent said if Adam & Eve eat the fruit of Tree of Knowledge and Evil, they will become God and they will know the Good & Evil
GENESIS 3:5
5
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

When Adam & Eve ate the Fruit, God The Father had confirmed what The Serpent said.
GENESIS 3:22
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:

Allow me to rephrase Gods' commandment as if the directive given were, "Do not take of and swallow the lie, for surely as soon as you do, it will infect you with a disease that will progress to your death."

Lies kill. And lies are a favorite tool that murderers employ. Even the most 'harmless' lie 'kills' somebody. For example, I think it would be safe to assume that those that lied to the gestapo, did not care much for the gestapo.

Ideally, this is how we are to treat lies.

According to Jesus, he is speaking the truth all the time.

JOHN 14:6
6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Then Jesus express the description of the Devil:
The Devil is a Murderer and a Liar.

JOHN 8:44
44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a LIAR, and the father of it.
allow me to elaborate.

Jesus said the devil has been a liar from the beginning.

But as you've duly noted the serpent told the truth.

The answer is it the serpent in the garden was not satan in the garden, the serpent was an animal, it this simple

As Jesus said satan has no truth in him and has been a liar from the beginning 😊

Hope this helps

Well for me before man there was no time and we know soon (we pray and hope) it will like that again no time. Genesis is sometimes call the book of beginnings. From what I read what ever God creates is perfect. It is written "until sin was found in you" "You were without blame in your ways from the day you were made until sin was found in you” .

Death to us is this body does not live any more yet God said if you eat of this tree "but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for on the day that you eat from it you will certainly die.” Then its written "Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned".

I think we duh can blame Satan when Cain killed his brother yet God didn't blame Satan. My 100cents...well if I say 2cents.. cheap hehe pfft.

What are the verses in the bible showing the Devil is a Murderer and a Liar?

Murderer 'from the beginning.'


John 8:44​
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires.
He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth
in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.


When did that happen? What was that beginning?

Right here!
Its been right before our eyes.
And, unless shown, you would never see it.


You said in your heart,
“I will ascend to the heavens;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,
on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.
I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.” Isaiah 14:13-14​


What was it that Satan desired "in his heart?"

Murder and replacement!


grace and peace ...........

John 8:44
The Devil is also a Murderer.
I know that Jesus is telling the truth.
But upon using man's intellect I can't read a verse in the bible that the Devil is killing people.

What I can read is God sent a Great Flood to kill all people except Noah and his family.
GENESIS 6:13
13
And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Another is what God did in Sodom and Gomorrah
GENESIS 19:13
13 For we will destroy this place
, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.

The message of God is very clear in this verse.
PROVERBS 3:5
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;

5
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Apostle John remembered what God's revealed in Proverbs 3:5
We all know that there are no other books which God's Words are written but The Holy Bible only
Therefore: The book referring by Apostle John is The Holy Bible in our time.
Then John wrote it with the same meaning in Proverbs 3:5
What John said is not in literal meaning.
REVELATION 5:1-5
5
And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4
And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

No Man or Nobody in this world could explain the true meaning of the Word of God but there is who can Reveal to Us and that is Jesus Christ by Divine Revelation.

Are you a devil's advocate?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I am not a Devil's Advocate.
I believe in God that said although he is using man's words but different in meaning. Shall I say Man's Words but Heavenly Meaning.
ISAIAH 55:8-9
8 For my thoughts
are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

If we use our thoughts in reading the Words of God, then Devil is not a liar and Murderer. What come up is God is the Liar and the Murderer.

But if we humble ourselves (means not to use our own understanding in reading the words of God) God will send us A Divine Revelation and explain to us that the Devil is a Liar and a Murderer.

This is why God gave us the warning:
PROVERBS 3:5
5
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;

Look at the Jews in the New Testament.
They use their thoughts in listening Jesus words instead of humbling themselves.
They thought that Jesus is referring to Literal Physical Temple.
JOHN 2:19-21
19
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

Because the Jews leaned in their own understanding they believe Jesus is a Liar.
MATTHEW 27:40
40
And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
