Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground – trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (Genesis 2:8-10)
And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die.” (Genesis 2:15-17)
When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. (Genesis 3:6)
So goes the tragic account of the fall that has led to death.
In America with each passing day this explanation for the human condition in the world is scoffed at and replaced with the fariy tale of evolution and millions of years. The replacement history is opposite of the truth in nearly every aspect of life. In the evolutionary story, death, disease, and suffering are all good because they line the path by which progress is made. A person's only hope is through the passing on of his genes to the next generation.
Do not be tempted to accept any aspect of the lie. Your only real hope is through acceptance of the “way, the truth and the life” of Jesus Christ (John 14:6).
