Obeying & Fearing God than man
Genesis Chapter 3 shows the followings:
- The serpent deceived the woman (Genesis 3:1).
- The deceived woman misled the man (Genesis 3:6).
- God showed it was wrong that the man listened to the woman and disobeyed God (Genesis 3:17) and sentenced him to death (Genesis 3:19)
The above 1 & 2 are still happening until now:
Proverbs 7:26 says regarding to the adulterous woman,
“Many are the victims she has brought down; her slain are a mighty throng.”
Shortly speaking, deceived women destroy men.
In conclusion,
- Obey God. It is wrong that a man listens to a woman and disobeys God.
As written in Acts 4:19,
But Peter and John replied, ‘Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges!
- Fear God. The woman of noble character fears God.
As written in Proverbs 31:30,
“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.”
Q & A:
Q: Is it easy to know if you may be deceived or under delusion?
A: Even if you are deceived, you may not easily know you are so. If you are under delusion, you may believe in the falsehood as the truth.
Supporting verses about deception & delusion:
The devil is a liar (John 8:44) – Deception is the primary strategy of the devil.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
Believing in the falsehood is like treating the darkness as the light. If your light is darkness, your darkness is great (Matthew 6:23).
