Question 9
Why did the war move to this earth?
Bible
Genesis 3:3,4
"But of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, you shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. And the serpent said unto the woman, you shall not surely die."
Answer
God said don’t eat from this certain tree lest you die. But the devil, in the disguise of a serpent, said you will not die. Before this, the devil had made some very harsh accusations against God. All heaven heard the devil’s accusation against God. The devil said, I could do a better job than God if I were given a chance. So the devil got his chance in the Garden of Eden, where he was able to offer man an alternative to obeying God. When man listened to the devil rather than listening to and obeying God, he opened the door for the devil to have access to this earth.
