But neither Adam nor Eve had eaten of the tree of life. So they were lacking in some respects? They were told to eat from any tree BUT the tree of TNG&E. For the day they eat of it they would die.
But is being like God knowing good and evil (death) or is being like God - image of Christ - (life)? So the devil lied to her more about the nature of being like God?
The devil said:
Gen 3:5 KJV For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and
ye shall be as gods, ["ye shall be as God" - ASV] knowing good and evil.
Is this the same?
Col 2:8-10 KJV Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, (TNOG&E)and not after Christ(LIFE). (9) For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
