Who lied, the Serpent or G-d? In the Christian Bible the snake says to Eve, before she eats the forbidden fruit, “Ye shall not surely die.”. This seems to some to make G-d a liar, because Eve does not die when she eats of the tree. However, death did eventually come to Eve and to all humans thereafter. Would death have come to her if she had never eaten of the tree of knowledge? Perhaps not. Therefore, we cannot say... Read more
