From snow-capped peaks to grassy valleys, surely all creation joined nature's chorus as the Almighty's symphony sprang to life. This speechless choir sang lofty melodies of celestial ecstasy while lions and lambs wrestled playfully. Was it a day like today?

Neither sharp words nor even weeds corrupted this unspoiled paradise. Did the bluebird's breezy refrain awaken our earliest parents? Perhaps their eyes opened at the gentle shove of an affable beast. They loved and laughed and honor held sway. Then revolt. Betrayal!

By dusk the songbird's chorus surrendered its felicity and even the meadows wore sullen shades. Sighs and moans ran through bending blades searching for comfort, but finding none. Murky waters lay still under scarlet skies as creation's back bent under the load of treason's atrocity. Chaos enfolded order, lions roared and consciences sought clothes. Offering sedition no reward, with angels and fiery swords God promised an end to sin's opposition.

If dirges flowed like mountain streams and tears outnumbered stars surely this day beheld both. Did Eve forget the command of her Sovereign? Did Adam consider the consequences of his crime? How could such tragedy occur? They physically walked with God every day! They heard His voice and spoke to Him directly. Their minds were sharp and their bodies strong. They had only one temptation with which to contend. Only one! What was their excuse? What were they thinking?

Did our first parents lack faith in the honor of their Creator's clear warning; in the day that you eat from it you will surely die. (Gen 2:17)? Did they think that somehow they could hinder the declaration of almighty God, or that He might alter His divine edict? Perhaps they hoped for a celestial 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!
