Heavenly messengers opened to them the history of Satan's fall and his plots for their destruction, unfolding more fully the nature of the divine government, which the prince of evil was trying to overthrow. Instead of humbly confessing their sins, they try to shield themselves by casting the blame upon others, upon circumstances, or upon Godmaking even His blessings an occasion of murmuring against Him. She was a part of himself, and he could not endure the thought of separation.

White (1827-1915) is considered the most widely translated American author, her works having been published in more than 160 languages. Thank God for this book! Beginning with the rebellion in heaven, the author shows why sin was permitted, why Satan was not destroyed, and why man was tested; gives a thrilling description of man's temptation and fall, and. PP 55.3, An expression of sadness came over the face of Adam. Joseph wisely provided for their release; he permitted them to become . Now was the tempter's opportunity. The word used in Genesis for embalm is . But when he rebelled against the divine law, the inferior creatures were in rebellion against his rule. And the life of toil and care which was henceforth to be man's lot was appointed in love. The serpent plucked the fruit of the forbidden tree and placed it in the hands of the half-reluctant Eve. Then he reminded her. PP 53.3, In order to accomplish his work unperceived, Satan chose to employ as his medium the serpenta disguise well adapted for his purpose of deception. The serpent was then one of the wisest and most beautiful creatures on the earth. But, contrary to His command, they had eaten of the forbidden tree, and now they would continue to eat of itthey would have the knowledge of evilall the days of their life. In their innocence they had yielded to temptation; and now, in a state of conscious guilt, they would have less power to maintain their integrity. The angels warned them to be on their guard against the devices of Satan, for his efforts to ensnare them would be unwearied. God had been seeking to prevent them from reaching a nobler development and finding greater happiness. PP 61.2, Many who teach that the law of God is not binding upon man, urge that it is impossible for him to obey its precepts. In their desire for a higher sphere, many have sacrificed true womanly dignity and nobility of character, and have left undone the very work that Heaven appointed them. It is a powerful book tracing the lives of the Patriarchs. In attempting to rise above her original position, she fell far below it. It is a revelation of His will, a transcript of His character, the expression of divine love and wisdom. It was Satan's plan that Adam and Eve should by disobedience incur God's displeasure; and then, if they failed to obtain forgiveness, he hoped that they would eat of the tree of life, and thus perpetuate an existence of sin and misery. When God made man He made him rule over the earth and all living creatures. It answers such questions as, Where did we come from? 1. In answer she urged him to eat, repeating the words of the serpent, that they should not surely die. The spirit of self-justification originated in the father of lies; it was indulged by our first parents as soon as they yielded to the influence of Satan, and has been exhibited by all the sons and daughters of Adam.
