THE LIE IS AN IMAGINATION OF MAN (THE LIE IS NOT REAL)

The lie is responsible for all our problems, turmoil and confusion. Mankind has created a lie, an imaginary god, which is himself, but this imagination is not true, he is not god, therefore is not real, that is why God has not part in that. If the lie is not real, what is it then? It’s nothing but an imagination of man, it only exist in the mind of man. It is a vain imagination.

Can anybody tell me why was Adam and Eve formed (created), with the ability to lust after the tree and God not been blame for their sin? Gen 3:6 “And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise…”

The word pleasant is H8378 ta'avah: longing. A delight. Satisfaction. A charm.
KJV: dainty, desire, X exceedingly, X greedily, lust(in), pleasant.
And the word desired H2530 chamad. To delight in.
KJV: beauty, greatly beloved, covet, delectable thing, (X great) delight, desire, goodly, lust, (be) pleasant (thing), precious (thing).

Those two words give us the certainty that she had the ability to lust after the tree. Was that a sin? No, it wasn’t, there was not even a law against that; Rom 7:7 “What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.”

She lusted (covet), after the tree, there’s no doubt about that, she was created to lust after the tree, the sin was not in lusting but in not believing God, calling God a liar and believing Satan, the rest was just the effect of the cause.

God is not responsible for their sin, the act of believing Satan rather than God. Nevertheless, the LORD God designed everything to work out like that. She believed that by taking of the tree she would be as god knowing good and evil. That bring us to the conclusion that what really matters is not what we do but what and who do we believe; John 17:17 “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”

The Truth is salvation, the lie is damnation. If we believe the lie (we are gods), everything we do is sinful, we would be upside down, even if we are the most religious, law abiding “Christians” in the world; Rom 14:23 “… for whatsoever [is] not of faith is sin.” So, what is being as gods?

To understand that we have to go to the origin of sin and that is with Satan; Ezek 28:15-17 “Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee…. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness:”

The heart being the intellect, the mind, the will was lifted up because of his beauty. First of all, we find that this is the only place where God gives the creature free will, that is in his mind, to imagine or believe something that is not real, to create an illusion that only exist in his mind, and it all happens according to the plan of God because, ultimately, it was the LORD God who gave him that beauty. Therefore, Satan corrupted his wisdom by reason of his brightness. After that or outside of that he has no more free will, he can’t do anything that is not or has not been designed by God to be so.

If we go back to Eve, we can see that she imagined something that was not real, she believed she was a god. Was that a true (real) fact? No, it was not, it was just an imagination and God is not responsible for that because He does not exist in the realm of the imaginative, He only exists in the realm of Truth, and outside of Truth there’s nothing. The lie exist only in the imagination of man.

Rom 1:21 “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

The word vain; G2756 kenos (ke-nos') adj. empty.
KJV: empty, (in) vain

The word vain has to do with a nonexistent thing, it only exist in the imagination. If you look at the meaning of the word in the dictionary; adjective, vainer, vainest.

1. Excessively proud of or concerned about one's own appearance, qualities, achievements, etc.; conceited: a vain dandy.
2. Proceeding from or showing pride in or concern about one's appearance, qualities, etc.; resulting from or displaying vanity: He made some vain remarks about his accomplishments.
3. Ineffectual or unsuccessful; futile: vain hopes; a vain effort; a vain war.
4. Without real significance, value, or importance; baseless or worthless: vain pageantry; vain display.
5. Archaic. Senseless or foolish.

Rom 8:20 “For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope,”

As an adjective, vanity describes the condition of somebody or something, so we can see how God subjected the whole creation to vanity but in hope. That gives us the assurance that this suffering is not even worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us, Rom 8:18

John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me".

AND OUTSIDE OF HIM WE CAN DO NOTHING; (Joh 15:5) "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing".

That means in the vain, imaginary lie, we can do nothing!

Only Jesus is REAL (the Truth), everything else is a lie, imagination of man; Eccl 1:2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all [is] vanity.

ALL IS VANITY (NOT REAL), WE LIVE IN AN IMAGINARY WORLD UNTIL WE ARE SAVED AND TURNED DOWN SIDE UP.
