Genesis 3:4

Study

       

4 And the serpent said to the woman: Dying you shall not die.

Commentary on this verse  

By Brian David
This relief, showing Eve taking fruit from the serpent, is on the Palazzo Ducale in Venice, dating from the 14th century

Here again the people of the Most Ancient Church, feeling life as their own (the woman) and influenced by the reasoning from their senses (the serpent), question the Lord. They had been told it would destroy them spiritually to use their minds to explore the nature of the Lord. But would it really? They could not, from their senses, see any reason why.
