Disguised and Christianized: On Deception

By: Daniel LaLond Jr. Was it a day like today? Did the dawn chase away midnight dreams? From mountain peaks to valley floors, surely all creation joined nature's chorus as the Almighty's symphony sprang to life. This voiceless choir sang utopian melodies of heavenly ecstasy while lions and lambs shared breakfast leaves.

Not a harsh word or even a weed polluted this pristine paradise. Did the nightingale's breezy chorus awaken our first parents? Possibly their eyes opened at the gentle nudge of a peaceable beast. They rose, they laughed and innocence reigned. Then mutiny. Treason!

By twilight the songbird's refrain shed its felicity, and even the grass donned sullen hues. Sighs and gasps, sobs and moans rushed through swaying blades hunting for consolation but finding none. None. Melancholy waters lay motionless beneath orangey skies as the back of the Almighty's creation bent under the weight of rebellion's abomination. Bedlam seized repose, beasts growled and consciences demanded clothes. Offering rebellion no reward, a holy God, with cherubs and flaming sword, promised an end to sin's vile discord.

If laments ran like mountain streams and dirges outstretched the skies surely this day saw both. Did Eve forget the edict of her Sovereign? Did Adam ponder the outcome of his crime? What went wrong? They spoke with the Almighty each day!Their minds were focused and their bodies unimpaired. They wrestled with only one temptation. One! What was their defense? What was their rationale?

Did our ancestors question the integrity of their Creator's plain warning; "In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die" (Gen 2:17)? Did they think that somehow they could annul the edict of the Almighty, or that He would change His divine mind? Perhaps they hoped for a heavenly case of amnesia.

What dementia seized the minds of the holy pair? Friend, like a cerebral stranglehold, "Ye shall not surely die" fastened its grip on the perfect minds of paradise. If Satan's lying promise duped our pre-fall parents who enjoyed daily, physical communion with their Creator, only our heavenly Father knows the exponentially greater possibility of our deception.

Bear in mind, nothing changes the devil's lie into God's truth. Nothing! Just as nothing can make one plus two equal four, nothing makes, "You won't die," a statement of truth when promised to anyone, professing believer or not, who continues in sin. Gentle reader, be warned, though popular but grossly deceived contemporary, evangelical teachers Christianize and disguise Satan's lie, "Ye shall not surely die," remains hell's drug tragically dumbing the minds and closing the eyes of men!
