Wisdom of God or the Serpent. Which one Roused Eve?
Wisdom is a much sought after commodity. Imagine being around wise and loving people. What more could we ask for? But what is wisdom?
Wisdom is what the Serpent offered Adam and Eve. It told them, your eyes will be opened, you will be like g/God, you will know good and evil. The result is, you will not die. Whopping promises. This wisdom would lead to a wonderful life, even life without end. What is the meaning of wisdom? Is this wisdom to be sought out and cultivated?
The Serpent aroused Adam and Eve’s emotions and mental faculties with fantabulous promises. You’ll get this, and this and this, including the fairy tale ending, and they lived happily ever after. Here are Eve’s first impressions.
Genesis 3:6
And when the woman saw (H7200) that the tree was good (H2896) for food (H3978), and that it was pleasant (H8378) to the eyes (H5869), and a tree to be desired (H2530) to make one wise (H7919), she took of the fruit (H6529) thereof, and did eat (H398), and gave (H5414) also to her husband with her; and he did eat.
