Pearl's Luciferian Message:
the Serpent Told the Truth and God Told a Lie
Michael Pearl inserted some
remarks into his Good and Evil book that send the message that what the serpent said
was true and what God said was a lie.
First we will compare what the
King James Bible says compared to What Good and Evil says and then we
will examine the remarks Michael Pearl made up and attributed to Adam and Eve that make
God out to be a liar.
The King James Bible says:
And the LORD God commanded the
man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 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. (Genesis 2:16,17)
Good and Evil
says:
You may eat of all the trees
in the garden, but do not eat from this one tree in the midst of the garden
for in the day you eat you will die.
(Good and Evil by
Michael Pearl, page 4)
The King James Bible says:
And the serpent said unto the
woman, Ye shall not surely die: 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. (Gen. 3:4, 5)
Good and Evil says:
serpent: Ha! You will not die.
You will be like the gods when you eat. You will be
enlightened as we are
and you will know all about good and evil.
(Good and Evil by
Michael Pearl, page 5; emphasis added)
King James Bible:
(Note: There are no words
recorded in the Bible that Adam and Eve spoke after they sinned until they
answered God's questions when he called to them in the garden.)
Good and Evil's invented
dialogue:
Eve: See, I didn't die. Eat,
and it will make you wise also.
(Good and Evil by
Michael Pearl, page 5)
(Luciferian
message: the serpent told us the truth. We did not die.)
Good and Evil's invented
dialogue:
Adam: He didn't kill us! We're
still alive!
(Good and Evil by
Michael Pearl, page 8)
(Luciferian
message: The serpent, who said, "You shall not surely die," was right. God,
who said, "Thou shalt surely die" was wrong.)
Good and Evil's
invented
dialogue:
Eve: He killed the animals
instead of us!
(Good and Evil by
Michael Pearl, page 8)
(Unbiblical
message: God did not keep his word to Adam and Eve. He decided to kill
animals instead of physically killing Adam and Eve.)
IMPORTANT:
Genesis 3:8 makes it clear that God was referring to spiritual death
(spiritual separation from God) when he said, "for in the day that thou eatest
thereof thou shalt surely die."
And they heard the voice of
the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his
wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of
the garden. (Genesis 3:8)
Michael Pearl's fabricated
dialogue—"See, I didn't die"; "He didn't kill us! We're still alive!"—gives the
impression the word, 'death' in Genesis 2:16 and 17 refers to physical death.
God's promise of death did not refer to immediate physical death.
Rather, it meant immediate spiritual death which would culminate in physical
death.
Michael Pearl's switching of the
meaning of death from
spiritual death to immediate physical death allowed him to switch the liars too. Instead
of the serpent being the liar, God is made out to be the liar--because Adam and
Eve did not immediately physically die.
Additional Comments
Good and Evil's invented
dialogue:
serpent: Ha, ha, ha, he
will kill you now! Look what he did to me!
(Good and Evil by
Michael Pearl, page 6)
(This is
biblically incorrect. The serpent had not yet been cursed by God.)
Good and Evil's
narrative
and dialogue of Bible characters includes MANY
interpretive and theological remarks rather than the straightforward
retelling of the Bible story. Below is one example:
Adam and
Eve didn't die that day, because innocent animals died in their places.
But the death sentence had passed upon them, and eventually they too would
die. Death is the penalty for sin.
