Yea, God Hath Said...
/By Oscar M. Baker
This is a rhetorical question... According to the rules of English, a question mark is not needed after it. When the SHINING ONE (Nachash) asked it of the woman in the garden, (Gen. 3:1) the implication was plain. He was questioning the wisdom and goodness of God. His purpose was to implant a doubt in the human mind as to the fairness and justice of forbidding the fruit of the tree.
Satan still works along the same lines. He is the slanderer. He would accuse God. We must always be on guard lest he whisper unto us in an unguarded moment and cause us to criticize God.
