Questions Directly From Devotional

1. Satan, that sneaky snake, approached Eve with sort of a Groucho Marx shifty eyebrow aside and asked her something she quickly identified as a lie (Genesis 3:1-2)Whey do you think he began this way?

2. Has the devil changed any since Eve's day? What sorts of tricks does he use to tempt people today?

3. Satan told Eve that if she ate the fruit she would "be like God"(Genesis 3:5) a worthy desire. But how was he deceiving Eve this time? Who should she have spent time with if she actually wished to be more like God?

4. A big oops in verse 6. What did Eve turn toward instead of away from? Why was this a fatal mistake?

5. Adam and Eve have both eaten what God has forbidden. What was the result(Genesis 3:7)? What did they see about themselves that they had not seen before?

6. In Genesis 3:14-15, Satan is now cursed. How does God reveal, even in this cursing, that all is not lost?

7. Compare husband/wife relationships before sin (Genesis 2:23-24) and after (Genesis 3:6). What has changed and how has it affected husband/wife relationships throughout history?
