I do not see the serpents words as fully true. Only half true and half a lie.(subtle) Knowing good and evil yes. But the eyes were made blind, until and when, Jesus would heal them. This is the perception change you guys talk about.This was the serpents trick(temptation) to enter into man. I was blind but now I see.thoughts
seeing the serpents words are true and Cain was the first to murder and lie
(understanding of course Cain and Abel being the two sons of/in/as Adam) etc
and this in relation to the women's (Adams/mans soul) desire at the tree, and speaking to a serpent ...
You are of your father the devil, and you desire to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he might speak falsehood, he speaks from the own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.
What if indeed some disbelieved? Will their unbelief nullify the faithfulness of God?Never may it be! But let God be true, and every man a liar, as it has been written: "That You may be justified in Your words, and will prevail in Your being judged."

serpents are truth but in part truths can be lies. judgment day is the day we see face to face. people would not die to wormwood if they knew how to turn bitter into sweet.
1Cor 13:9-13 (YLT)
for in part we know, and in part we prophecy; and when that which is perfect may come, then that which is in part shall become useless. When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe; for we see now through a mirror obscurely, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I shall fully know, as also I was known; and now there doth remain faith, hope, love--these three; and the greatest of these is love.
Rev 18:23 (YLT)
and light of a lamp may not shine at all in thee any more; and voice of bridegroom and of bride may not be heard at all in thee any more; because thy merchants were the great ones of the earth, because in thy sorcery were all the nations led astray,
from wiki:
In the Book of Enoch, the Watchers (Aramaic עִירִין, iyrin) are angels dispatched to Earth to watch over the humans. They soon begin to lust for human women and, at the prodding of their leader Samyaza, defect en masse to illicitly instruct humanity and procreate among them. The offspring of these unions are the Nephilim, savage giants who pillage the earth and endanger humanity.
Samyaza and his associates further taught their human charges arts and technologies such as weaponry, cosmetics, mirrors, sorcery, and other techniques that would otherwise be discovered gradually over time by humans, not foisted upon them all at once. Eventually God allows a Great Flood to rid the earth of the Nephilim, but first sends Uriel to warn Noah so as not to eradicate the human race. The Watchers are bound "in the valleys of the Earth" until Judgment Day. (Jude verse 6 says that these fallen angels are kept "in everlasting chains under darkness" until Judgement Day.)

Wow! Do I see division of one here....One made of two parts(us)...one now separated from the one (words escape me here)...as in a now seeing double/divided?i see the words as a truth ... but not the whole of this truth seeing
And the LORD God said: 'Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth ( refrain ) his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.'

As is here two still be one= So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
...to take thought/sThat the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Angels procreating with female homo sapiens bearing savage giants is of course non sense ...
but aside from this there be a ton of evidence which shows our pre-flood relatives were of considerable size and possessed knowledge of perplexing technology we are at this time only rediscovering again ...
