WRONG TREE WRONG FRUIT

Gen. 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth ………the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind:

Gen. 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of Life; and man became a living soul.

Gen. 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the Tree of Life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation,

            Satan, created by and for God, rebelled and became a god in reverse. Isa 14:13

            Instead of self giving he is self loving. Jo 3:16; Isa 14:14             

            Instead of serving his creator he chose to serve himself.

            Instead of encouraging angels to serve God, it was serve me. (And the dragon fought and his angels, Re 12:7)

            Instead of rejoice in God’s creation it was to corrupt and deceive it

            Instead of an advocate/intercessor for the brethren he is accuser/advisory Re 12:10; Ro 8:34

            Instead of rejoice in a Savior it was seek to destroy Him 1Co 2:8

                        Seeks to kill the child (Ge 3:15)

                        Seeks to temp the Son (Mt 4:1)

                        Seeks to command the Son (Mt 4:3 obey me)

                        Seeks to corrupt the Son (Mt 4:7 tempt the Lord)

Seeks to short circuit the Son (Mt 4:9 the kingdom w/o the cross)

                        Seeks the worship of the son (Mt 4:9) fall down and worship me

Ge 2:16 ¶ And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

Ge 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Ge 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field and he said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:  (That old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world)

Satan deception started with himself moved to the garden then, thru fallen mankind, throughout the world.

 Gen.13:13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

Ge 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Pre flood depravity called for punishment of the Godless depraved and their affect on creation. Mankind given another chance to be fruitful and multiply a Godly posterity. Added was a promise to never again flood the entire earth. A rainbow was the sign of that covenant.

Satan, not man, is the author of sin 1Jo 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. He was a murderer from the beginning; he is a liar, and the father of it (Jn8:44)

When unregenerate man sins, he is only expressing the nature of the indwelling false god Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. Notice whose lusts you will do! He, Satan, abode not in the truth, he kept not his first estate. (Created by God for God)

The Bible only refers to two Natures Eph 2:3 and were by nature the children of wrath, (wrong tree)

2Pe 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, (right tree) having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust

2Co 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Ac 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Eph 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

Mt 13:38 the tares are the children of the wicked one;

Remember to, and marvel not; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

 References to Satan’s seed Ro 8:34 child of hell, Ac 13:10 child of the devil Mt 13:38 c. of the wicked one; Mt 23:31 c. of them which killed the prophets. Lu 16:8 c of this world; Ro 9:8 c. of the flesh; Eph 2:2 c. of disobedience Eph 2:3 c. of wrath; 1Th 5:5 c. of the darkness; Joh 8:44; 1Jo 3:8; 1Pe 1:23 corruptible seed Eph 2:2 the spirit that now worketh in… the children of disobedience… we all were…in times past.. by nature the children of wrath (had judgment coming). Man is not ultimately judged by his church affiliation, his code of morals, his doctrinal statement, or his personal conduct but by his union with/in the Right Tree (of Life) or wrong tree. He that has the Son has Life. That is why the axe has to be laid to the root of the old union (wrong tree Lu 3:9) and repentance, restoration, and regeneration is returning to the Right Tree (Christ is our Life Col 3:4) by way of the cross Ga 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.

Sins are the out workings of the indwelling Mr. Sin (Satan/union wrong tree) just as righteousnesses are the outworking of the indwelling Mr. Righteous (Christ/union Right tree) Joh 15:5  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
