  • Essay / Satan's Lies - 1756

    Satan's Lies. The first lie ever told was told by Satan in the Garden of Eden. In Genesis 2:7, God said to Adam and Eve, “You shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” » Later, Satan lied to Eve, telling her, “You will not surely die” (Genesis) 3:4.

Who is lying, God or Satan? One of Satan's most popular lies is the concept "Once saved, always saved." Once saved, always. saved says you cannot lose the grace of God and be lost.
