The Serpent or the Heart of Man
True or False
(There are others who claim that:)
B. “God placed the serpent in Eden and gave him an understanding of the Elohim’s language, in order to deceive and tempt Eve.”
(Both of these present a Personal Devil, regardless of his origin.)
(The Word of God testifies that:)
C. “ALL evil originates from the Heart of MAN.”
The following seven testimonies rule out all claims of a so-called personal devil, other than the ONE MAN:
1. “For out of the abundance of the HEART, the mouth speaketh”
(Matthew 12:34).
2. “For out of the HEART proceeds evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornication, thefts, FALSE WITNESSES, blasphemies” (Matthew 15:19; Mark 7:20-23; compare Galatians 5:17-21).
3. “Every imagination of the thoughts of his [Man’s] HEART was only evil continually” (Genesis 5:5).
4. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?”
(Jeremiah 17:9).
5. “For the imagination of man’s HEART is evil from his youth” (Genesis 8:21).
6. “EVERY man is tempted when he is drawn away by his OWN lust [imagination] and enticed” (James 1:14).
7. “By ONE MAN sin entered into the world” (Romans 5:12).
Of the three foregoing statements, is not “C” the only PROVEN true fact?
