CHAP. XLV.

Why Satan didn't fulfil his promises.

THEN Adam rose and prayed unto God,
saying, "See, this fire has made separation
between us and the cave in which Thou
hast commanded us to dwell; but now,
behold, we cannot go into it."
2 Then God heard Adam, and sent him His
Word, that said:--
3 "O Adam, see this fire! how different the
flame and heat thereof are from the garden
of delights and the good things in it!
4 "When thou wast under My control, all
creatures yielded to thee; but after thou
hast transgressed My commandment, they
all rise over thee."
5 Again said God unto him, "See, O Adam,
how Satan has exalted thee! He has
deprived thee of the Godhead, and of an
exalted state like unto Me, and has not
kept his word to thee; but, after all, is
become thy foe. It is he who made this fire
in which he meant to burn thee and Eve.
6 "Why, O Adam, has he not kept his
agreement with thee, not even one day;
but has deprived thee of the glory that was
on thee--when thou didst yield to his
command?
7 "Thinkest thou, Adam, that he loved thee
when he made this agreement with thee?
Or, that he loved thee and wished to raise
thee on high?
8 "But no, Adam, he did not do all that out
of love to thee; but he wished to make
thee come out of light into darkness, and
from an exalted state to degradation; from
glory to abasement; from joy to sorrow;
and from rest to fasting and fainting."
9 God said also to Adam, "See this fire
kindled by Satan around thy cave; see this
wonder that surrounds thee; and know that
it will encompass about both thee and thy
seed, when ye hearken to his behest; that
he will plague you with fire; and that ye
shall go down into hell after ye are dead.
10 "Then shall ye see the burning of his
fire, that will thus be burning around you
and your seed. There shall be no
deliverance from it for you, but at My
coming; in like manner as thou canst not
now go into thy cave, by reason of the
great fire around it; not until My Word
shall come that will make a way for thee
on the day My covenant is fulfilled.
11 "There is no way for thee at present to
come from hence to rest, not until My
Word comes, who is My Word. Then will
He make a way for thee, and thou shalt
have rest." Then God called with His Word
to that fire that burned around the cave,
that it part itself asunder, until Adam had
gone through it. Then the fire parted itself
by God's order, and a way was made for
Adam.
12 And God withdrew His Word from
Adam.

I thought you were quoting Bible at first

your delusion is that you think the Bible is complete. forgetting that there were books that didn't make it to the Bible.
ask yourself why ?

How did you get these from my comment? You're being paranoid pal. I don't give a sh!t about your Bible

your problem not mine. sounding arrogant doesn't mean you are good, great and the best person to listen or emulate. all I see is a dude with garbage .
not being mean but showing u a mirror of how horrible u look from within

Why are you paranoid? I never claimed you should listen to me or emulate me. Are you projecting? My first comment was a joke. Why are you taking it too serious? Who offended you ?

I don't get. After all said, what was the promise Satan made to eve?

not everything in life is a joke. your foolish jesting was unnecessary and was hindering the efficacy of what I posted for others to read.
judge by urself whether or not u thought it was right.

sometimes we do things thinking its ok without knowing how irrelevant and sometimes discrediting it can be.

I would have loved to participate in the on going discussion but please i'm sorry my trust (believe) is only the 66 compiled smaller books that made up the Bible.

Thanks!

I understand and am not countering the bible in anyway. it is the greatest book ever written and I learn more about God through Christ's teachings.

the matter here is the loop holes in Genesis which has led many doubting or seeking answers about the creation, the fall, the aftermath of the fall, God's role as to how everything played out, etc.
its up to us Christians that are called to win souls to clarify and reveal the those hidden books that should have complimented Genesis just like we had books complimenting each other in the new testament

Where did you get the idea that the Adam and Eve story is a literal one?.. Or a factual or historical?

where did you get the idea that what you think you know is not delusional, factual or historical.

is it from Man..the fallen man and his deceitful ways like Satan.

u may call it a story but the science of the story is what's real. seek understanding and revelation. facts only gets you thus far..but revelations make you walk of a cliff.

I will limit my understanding of the Bible to what God's son said!

Can you quote any word of Jesus that's not found in the first 39 books but found in the book you're now quoting?

I'm asking this question because i believe that Jesus knew all the information about the creation and it's not possible for him to forget mentioning what's important in any given document!

So if Jesus had quoted from any other books apart from the first 39 books, then we can conclude that those books are also inspired of God and BENEFICIAL {2Timothy 3:16} but if not then a Christian (follower of Jesus Christ) should be cautious quoting UNRELIABLE sources as authentic with regards to God's word!

I could not make head or tails of your comments.. Please can you be more explicit..

I agree but not every teaching or acts of Christ were written in the new testament. but significant ones.
Christ had a lot to say /to tell us. and reminded us that the Holy Spirit will teach us further.

many unbelievers we have today are because they couldn't comprehend the events at Genesis ...with so many questions that need answers that could be key in believing in God

facts to note:
1) me and you don't have all the knowledge
2) There were some books deliberately left out in the bible by the Roman Catholic (you know their role during end times ?), even scriptures are being omitted in king James version

playing safe sometimes can lead to ignorance of history. in my part I will be cautious but in your part come out of your comfort zone
