"For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." Gen.3:5
The big lie of the serpent in the Garden was not that you will be God, but that you will be more than human. He told them that as you are is not enough. His lie is that there is special knowledge that God has and that you do not have. And that knowledge will open your eyes to wonderful and exotic things.
What is the lie told to people today? That you only use 10% of your brain and that AI can do things that you cannot do. That you are not beautiful enough or thin enough or tall enough or strong enough. Men wanted to live like women, and women want to live like men. Men chose to become feminine and women chose to become masculine. And in all of this there is a glaring absence of God.
So the biggest lie of the serpent was that you are not enough as you were made. That God is holding back what you need to be more than human. Satan is always promising things that he cannot deliver on.
Society shows me over and over again why the first word in the Gospel is repent.
