True quotes from the Serpent
Nelson Boils:
From the thread "Eating from the beginning until after the flood," JFK asked:"But from the Book of Genesis, please quote a statement from the serpent that was the Truth?"
The serpent says to Eve:
“Even God knows that on the day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you’ll become like God, knowing good and evil.” Gen 3:5
God becomes the 2nd witness to this truth stated by the serpent by saying:
"Later, the LORD God said, “Look! The man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil."Gen 3:22
More truths from the Serpent:
“If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down. For it has been written: ‘For he has given charge of you to his angels, and they shall take you into their hands, lest perhaps you may hurt your foot against a stone." Matt 4:6
“All these I will give you, if you will fall at my feet and do homage to me.”Matt 4:9
The Devil mixes truths with lies to deceive the many.
Hope is helps.

No, you are all wrong and without understanding.
Jesus told us Satan was without truth because he is a liar and the father of lies.
Paul wrote that Adam was not deceived. He had his eyes wide open. He knew he was sinning.
God said they would become like one of Us in a mocking tone. Mankind is not like God yet. God is in the process of creating mankind in His image.
In tempting Jesus, Satan used Scriptures to tell a lie, just like Satan's priests and ministers do in his church today.
Jesus countered Satan's lies with the true and correct statements from Scriptures.
Jesus said, that we should not try God or put God to a test. Also, that we should worship only God and serve only Him.
Jesus' message to His Elect is for us to come out of her, that is the evil church and the leader of that church, who is Satan.
You must decide if you will follow the Great God or the evil angel of light.

You need to go up one line to find the purpose of the serpent statements.
Gen 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
FYI: All the other translations I have on e-Sword use the word "God" and not "gods".
So the serpent inserted a truth as part of his main deception - "Ye shall not surely die"
But the result of the serpents statement is a lie because the woman did die.
Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
The god of this world and the church teach no truths even when a truth is inserted in a statement, the end result is deception.
You cannot say the church teaches truths in some statements and teaches lies on other statements. All they teach are lies.
Dave in Tenn:
Just to add, as Ray pointed out, the scripture accurately says "die to death".
(CLV) And saying is the serpent to the woman, "Not to die shall you be dying,
(DRB) And the serpent said to the woman: No, you shall not die the death.
(LITV) And the serpent said to the woman, Dying you shall not die,
(YLT) And the serpent saith unto the woman, `Dying, ye do not die,
And that's what the church in large measure (as well as all other religions that I know of) teaches. You may die, but you won't really be dead. "Dying, ye do not die." "You live on in some version of 'heaven' or 'hell'."
Those who understand that we are dead when we die (what a revelation!!) are few indeed in religion. I even know some "non-religious" folks who believe in "immortal souls" of some description.

To which I add:
2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
But they never teach the truth. That's the point.
Just because they say something true does not mean they teach the truth. As I said: It's not what they say but what they teach.
Mat 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Think about the above statement. Who has the real power to "give thee"? Is that statement you quoted really true?
This started with the assertion that the church teaches some truths. No they don't.
I have yet to hear one truth that the church teaches and I'm still waiting.
