Genesis 3:2-3 (ESV)
2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’”
Eve innocently answers the serpent with a distortion of the word of God. The deceiver uses the word and our understanding of the word to weave a new word of deceit that appeals to the desire of our flesh.
Faulty understanding of Scripture can weaken our witness to the it’s power and truth, thus weakening our armor against falsehood and deception.
