You seem quite coy there yeshuasavedme. You are quick to condemn Glaudys and Mallon.
Coy? -hardly. And I do not condemn the person/soul of anyone, but I do defend the Word of God, and contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. And I do use Scripture proofs against the false teaching of evolutionists.
Why do you think it was the devil? Genesis says it was a snake who tempted Eve. There is no mention of the devil in the account. The snake deceived Eve, and she gave the fruit to her husband. You talk about doubting the simple word of God, yet you abandon the literal reading of the text in the very example you chose.
Anyone who reads the ancient records knows that the devil is called Belial/beliar in the OT; and in 1 Enoch, a portion of Noah included in it gives the name of the devil who used the serpent to tempt Eve . His named is "Gadreel".
The word demons [which means the foul spirits who are the offspring of the fallen Watchers and daughters of Adam] is wrongly translated as devils in the NT; but the devils are satans who were created to tempt/test/try the faithfulness to YHWH of Adam and of angels. They were created in the first six days of creation as the tempters, for whom chaos, the lake of fire was prepared. Anyone they get to fall by their temptations gets a share in the lake of fire, with the devil [the chief] and his messengers [all the satans under him].
The Word of God states that the devil, the Satan and the satans, tempts and accuses. He uses agents -like he always does do, except when he/the chief of the satans, appears in person -as he did to Jesus and to Abraham [in the record of Jasher].
In Genesis 3:15, the Seed of the Woman [Zion of the heavenlies, personified] was to slay the head/the chief of the serpent. - Zion is the personified City of God in which the Watchers -elect angels- dwelt in from the beginning, and is where Enoch went to dwell at his translation; and is where all the saints who are born again in Christ go to, since His ascension, when He led captivity [the first death which kept all Adam souls captive] captive; and took all who dwelt in Sheol below who waited for the promise of the Atonement, to dwell in that city.
Hbr 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
-I'll deal with that in another post.
1Jo 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Mar 8:33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity
between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it [
her seed] shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Jhn 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost,
but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
Jhn 13:27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
Adam never was the literal son of God. God created the human race. He didn't beget us. That is why John describes Jesus as God's only begotten son.
Oh yes he was. Luke 3:38; ...
Adam, son of God. YHWH told Abraham to take
his only begotten son, Isaac, and sacrifice him. Isaac was
the second son of Abraham.
Abraham served as a living prophet and rehearsed the Day of Atonement, with Isaac serving as a living prophet of that Day, also. For that reason, Jesus said; "Abraham rejoiced to see my Day, and he saw it and was glad".
Adam is the first human being son of God; Jesus Christ. as the Israel of God, is the second human being son of God, and the "only begotten" of the Father; for in the fall; "Adam died, dies, and continues to die until he is dead" -Ken Ham on Genesis 3.
The first death is that of the spirit of Adam, which is the spirit of the flesh of the Adam body. At the fall the Glory departed from "Adam son of God" , and death and corruption entered the former son of God's body and entire kingdom. The body is dead because of sin; and that is why born again in Christ believers submit the dead Adam body to water baptism, showing their hope of the resurrection of the dead Adam body which they continue to wear [until they are released from it], in the glorious immortal image of the New Man.
In Psalm 82, The rebellious sons of God are going to "die like Adam", the one fallen sar/prince:

There is an elipse [severa, in fact, in Enoch] in the fragment of Noah included in 1 Enoch, but at one point, the chief satans are named who tempted the watchers to fall, and the particular one who tempted Eve through the serpent is "Gadreel": We know he used a serpent, in Genesis, but we do not know what that serpent was because so many books are lost since the temple was burned and the Jews were scattered the first time and the second and all the libraries of all the nations of the world were always burned or destroyed when invaders conquered.
We also know he uses mouthpieces of fallen angels and fallen Adam persons in all the Bible.
1Ki 22:19-22 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade [him], and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
Enoch 69
4 The name of the first Jeqon: that is, the one who led astray [all] the sons of God, and brought them 5 down to the earth, and led them astray through the daughters of men. And the second was named Asbeel: he imparted to the holy sons of God evil counsel, and led them astray so that they defiled 6 their bodies with the daughters of men. And the third was named Gadreel: he it is who showed the children of men all the blows of death, and he led astray Eve, and showed [the weapons of death to the sons of men] the shield and the coat of mail, and the sword for battle, and all the weapons 7 of death to the children of men.
The Watchers themselves were tempted and succumbed to the temptations of satan, to take daughters of Adam for wives and to beget sons, illegally.
Enoch 54 4 And I asked the angel of peace who went with me, saying: ' For whom are these chains being prepared ? ' And he said unto me: ' These are being prepared for the hosts of Azazel, so that they may take them and cast them into the abyss of complete condemnation, and they shall cover their jaws with rough stones as the Lord of Spirits commanded. 6 And Michael, and Gabriel, and Raphael, and Phanuel shall take hold of them on that great day, and cast them on that day into the burning furnace, that the Lord of Spirits may take vengeance on them for their unrighteousness in becoming subject to Satan and leading astray those who dwell on the earth.'
Genesis does not mention atoning for the whole race of Adam.
Just as Levi paid tithes in Abraham, so the entire race of Adam was promised the Redeemer, in Genesis 3:15. That promise was explained in 1 Enoch as being the Son of Man who was in heaven from the beginning; who was with God and who was God; who was to come and redeem the lost and restore/ transform the heavens and the earth and give them back to the Father, for the Glory of the Unseen Father to unite with the regenerated/transformed heavens and earth, through the Son. He was the Son of Man in heaven, who was "hidden in heaven" until the time of His revealing to the "elect" -those called in His name, who freely choose to live the "elect" life. Only Enoch saw Him and reported what he saw, and gave the writings of Him to all his descendents. the entire human race is descended from Enoch and they all once knew the story of the fall and the plan for the redemption, as Paul reminds us;
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.
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Hbr 7:9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
Hbr 7:10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
Rom 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Rom 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
