What is The Subtlety Exactly

 2 Corinthians 11:3


3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.


What exactly is the subtlety?


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.


Genesis 3:1-6
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

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.

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.


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:


As I read this, it really seems like the serpent told the truth.

James 4:8

8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.


To understand how they were tricked, you must understand God.
There is an infinite amount of doctrine.


Believing God in faith is the foundation.

One can be wrong, and still not be sinning. That is why Eve was able to say what she said in Genesis 3:3



The reason why it seems as if the serpent told the truth is because God is all, and all is a paradox.

Matthew 19:26

26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.


Matthew 19:26

26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Luke 17:33

33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.


Hebrews 11:6

6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.


God is a paradox according to Hebrews 11:6 & Luke 17:33 together.


So according the common fallen man's standard of what life is, it is simply to be alive in the flesh.


According what the LORD God meant what did He mean however?

To be alive meant He is there in you, while you have faith in Him, and are completely without sin.

Romans 6:23

23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Psalm 51:5

5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.


Adam and Eve were the only ones were not born into sin.



God is life. Jesus is God. Jesus is life. 
We in other words we would live eternally if we lived for Him.


In Genesis 3:22 God confirmed what Satan said, so what is the subtlety?

The entire thing, starting at Genesis 3:1


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.

45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

Today's Numbers: Numbers of False Antichrist Spirit. The number 15

 John 3:16 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Revelation 13:18 18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. If you start with what you can see, it is a lie.

Believing in Spirit and in Truth vs. Believing in Vain Pt. 2

 Jesus is A and Z. He who is, who was, and who is to come. He came into this world to die on the cross of Calvary and shed His blood for the remission of your sins. He was crucified, buried, and God raised Him from the dead three days later. Believe the lamb who was slain for your sins and you will not see a fiery eight eight eight down below which is 24hrs in the lake of fire for all eternity. John 4:24 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 1 Corinthians 15:1-2 1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. A way to believe in vain is to believe Jesus and the Gospel, but accuse him of being an evil man. Matthew 25:24-26 24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where tho...

That's A King

  Daniel 12:4 4  But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Ecclesiastes 8:4 4  Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou? Galatians 2:20 20  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Christ means King. All who believe in Jesus are royalty. See how Gene Kim preaches? That's a king. See who Brother Breaker preaches. That's a king. See how Pastor Brett Meador teaches? That's a king. See how Pastor Jae Joo teaches. That's a king. Where righteousness is found in a man king is found in a man. I esteem all my brothers and sisters in Christ as better than me for you're all kings.
