What is truth?

Understanding the difference between simulated truths and real truths

Simulated Truths:

Simulated Truths are designed to keep people in Bondage under a lie

The Lie:

Spiritually speaking a lie is anything that is outside of God:

-Gen 2:16-17:"And the Lord commanded the man saying:Of every tree of the garden You may freely eat:But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil You shall not eat of it for in the day that You eat of it You shall "surely die"


-Gen 3:4-5:"And the serpent said unto the woman,"Ye shall not surely die."For God doth know that in the day that You eat thereof then Your eyes shall be opened and ye shall be as gods knowing good and evil.

As You can see from the 1st verse above,God told the man that the result of eating from the forbidden tree was "a sure death"However the subtle serpent,More crafty than every beast of the field made Eve feel that God was lying.He told her thus:"You shall not surely die"The exact opposite of what God told Adam earlier.

Gen 3:6:"And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasant to the eyes and a tree to be desired to make one wise she took of the fruit thereof,and did eat.....

The Main technique used by the devil to deceive Humanity has always been to entice people with simulated "truths"in order to keep them in bondage under a lie.The verse above depicts this.The serpent made the forbidden and destructive tree look "good"to eve.He made it appeal to her senses.He boosted her ego with the promise that she and Adam would "become as gods" if they chose to rebel against God and partake of the tree.

It was "true" that Adam and Eve's eyes(carnal understanding) were going to be opened if they chose to eat from the forbidden tree.(Gen 3:7)It was true that they would know good and evil(self determination and direction) if they ate from the tree like the serpent said Because even God acknowledged it in Gen 3:22.

It was true that Adam and Eve appeared not to die after they ate from the forbidden tree because they became animated by a simulated life(serpent breathe)But the truth is that they died immediately they ate from it.They lost their divine breathe

That is why the Bible describes the serpent as being "subtle"He offers People simulated truths that entice them to accept Him but he blinds them from seeing that these truths are all based on lies and can lead them nowhere.

Hebrews 3:13:"But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin."
