The Simplicity of Christ for Women
The Simplicity of Christ
-
Through envy of the Devil, death came into the world:
Wisdom 2:24
Nevertheless through envy of the devil came death into the world: and they that do hold his side do find it.
-
The Devil's envy is against Alahayim, desiring to have control over His creation (mankind) and vain glory over it in his self-conceit and self-will through manipulation (deceit).
Lives of Adam and Eve 14-15
And Michael went out and called all the angels saying: "Worship the image of Alahayim as the Lord Alahayim hath commanded." And Michael himself worshiped first; then he called me and said: "Worship the image of Alahayim the Lord." And I answered, "I have no need to worship Adam." And since Michael kept urging me to worship, I said to him, "Why dost thou urge me? I will not worship an inferior and younger being than I. I am his senior in the Creation, before he was made was I already made. It is his duty to worship me." 15 When the angels, who were under me, heard this, they refused to worship him. And Michael saith, "Worship the image of Alahayim, but if thou wilt not worship him the Lord Alahayim will be wroth with thee." And I said, "If He be wroth with me, I will set my seat above the stars of heaven and will be like the Highest."
-
The Devil envied the Hightest, which is the Father, desiring to be like Him while he was also jealous of the Alayayim, which is the Son (our Lord), in his hatred, unwilling to obey his commands to worship his image in humility. His desire of vain glory led him to provoke the Lord Yache through disobedience and envy the Highest;
Galatians 5:26
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
-
Those who hold of his side operate in the lusts of the flesh with the same desires for control or gain (through manipulation) and the desire for glory, whether that be in admiration, validation, or some other form of supply to feed the ego or self-conceit in the heightened sense of self;
Galatians 5:19-21
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like...
-
Evidence of a person, whether man or woman, operating in these spirits of the Devil in the heightened sense of self, desiring vain glory and control through manipulation can be as follows;
2 Timothy 3:1-5
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of Alahayim; 5 Having a form of holiness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
-
In the Devil's envy of the Highest, he puts on a vain show of holiness (as he appeared as an angel of light to Eve) in order to deceive as he truly is denying the power of Alahayim which is in humility and simplicity to be one genuine good being, operating in the fruits of the Spirit in all righteousness;
2 Corinthians 11:14-15
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 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.
-
Those who are of the Devil's side, also operate in like fashion, having an outward show of appearing as His servants while their works deny Him in that they are not being genuine and humble, sincerely serving Alahayim by good works. In the Devil's envy, he cheated man through the woman by the lies he spake through the Serpent, causing her to give place to jealousy, which estranged her from her husband and lifted her up against Alahayim, desiring knowledge, endeavoring to be as Alahayim, despising dominion to be under obedience to them;
Lives of Adam and Eve 12, 16
And with a heavy sigh, the devil spake: "O Adam! all my hostility, envy, and sorrow is for thee, since it is for thee that I have been expelled from my glory, which I possessed in the heavens in the midst of the angels, and for thee was I cast out in the earth...16...And straightway we were overcome with grief, since we had been spoiled of so great glory. And we were grieved when we saw thee in such joy and luxury. And with guile I cheated thy wife and caused thee to be expelled through her doing from thy joy and luxury, as I have been driven out of my glory."
1 Clem. 6:3
Jealousy hath estranged wives from their husbands and changed the saying of our father Adam, This now is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.
Sng 8:6
...jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
-
By precept we see that Jealousy was at work in estranging (hatred) Eve from her husband to cause his fall after she fell herself, being cheated by the Devil in his hatred. Jealousy takes away sobriety and moderation to be content with the will of Alahayim as Strife follows with her hand in hand to bear hatred towards Alahayim, desiring to destroy His creation, that is, one's self (through sinning as Eve did) and others (by being an occasion of stumbling in the law to them as Eve was unto Adam), unwilling to hear the commandments regarding love, due to the spirit of Hatred at work in one's self to sin, as well as Envy working with Hatred, desiring to bring other's down from their prosperity in good works unto Alahayim.
Testament of Solomon 38.
Likewise, also the fourth said: "I cause men to forget their sobriety and moderation. I part them and split them into parties; for Strife follows me hand in hand...
Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirreth up strifes...
Testament of Gad 4:1-2, 4
Beware, therefore, my children of hatred; for it worketh lawlessness even against the Lord Himself. 2 For it will not hear the words of His commandments concerning the loving of one’s neighbour, and it sinneth against Alahayim. 4 And if it be a servant it stirreth him up against his master, and with every affliction it deviseth against him if possibly he can be put to death, for hatred worketh with envy also against them that prosper: so long as it heareth of or seeth their success, it always languisheth.
-
Jealousy also helps cause the desire to be exalted over Alahayim (and others) in the lusts of Fornication, though one is not able to be above Him and there is nothing in the commandments about first places or glory of any kind over anyone;
Testament of Reuben 7:4-5
For in fornication there is neither understanding nor holiness, and all jealousy dwelleth in the lust thereof. 5 Therefore, then I say unto you, ye will be jealous against the sons of Levi, and will seek to be exalted over them; but ye shall not be able.
-
Our mother, unawares of the workings of these spirits, was led astray from the simplicity of Christ in obedience, struggling with the enmity placed in her heart, which is Disobedience through lust, the root of the Devil's wickedness;
Apocalypse of Moses 19, 25
...And when he had received the oath from me, he went and poured upon the fruit the poison of his wickedness, which is lust, the root and beginning of every sin, 25..the enmity which the enemy has planted in thee.
-
Sisters have to overcome Lust, Fornication, Jealousy, Hatred, Envy and any spirit that would aid in self-will (lawlessness) or the desire for vain glory to control or manipulate others through obedience unto the law of Alahayim in Contentment with His will in their life {and their husbands}, Simplicity and Guilelessness in their manner of life and conversation, Reverence for Him and their head of household, Humility of heart, Modesty, and genuine Love, walking uprightly. The simplicity of Christ in obedience is what the Devil, through envy, is seeking to cast all women away from in their minds, from the beginning unto this day;
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.
-
For it was from jealousy/envy that the serpent attacked Eve, desiring to bring down Adam, by saying Alahayim was envious of her to not let her eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This same jealousy unto envy, desiring to be exalted or have control through manipulation, separates women from Alahayim and their husbands through the spirit of Fornication's workings in the love of pleasure more than Alahayim and the use of craft (manipulation) to fulfill one's heart's desires;
Testament of Reuben 3:3; 2:9; 5:3-4, 1-2; 4:6
First, the spirit of fornication is seated in the nature and in the senses; 2:9..with which through love of pleasure sins enter in...because it is filled with ignorance, and leadeth the youth as a blind man to a pit, and as a beast to a precipice. 5:3 For moreover, concerning them, the angel of the Lord told me, and taught me, that women are overcome by the spirit of fornication more than men, and in their heart they plot against men; and by means of their adornment they deceive first their minds, and by the glance of the eye instill the poison, and then through the accomplished act they take them captive. 4 For a woman cannot force a man openly, but by a harlot’s bearing she beguiles him. 1 For evil are women, my children; and since they have no power or strength over man, they use wiles by outward attractions, that they may draw him to themselves. 2 And whom they cannot bewitch by outward attractions, him they overcome by craft. 4:6 For a pit unto the soul is the sin of fornication, separating it from Alahayim, and bringing it near to idols, because it deceiveth the mind and understanding, and leadeth young men into Hades before their time.
-
Eve was deceived in her mind and understanding, being led by the serpent's deception to look at the fruit for pleasure and the desire for knowledge which led her astray, not understanding the workings of the spirit of Fornication against her in her experience;
Apocalypse of Moses 18
"Then the serpent saith to me, 'May Alahayim live! but I am grieved on your account, for I would not have you ignorant. But arise, come hither, harken to me and eat and mind the value of that tree.' But I said to him, 'I fear lest Alahayim be wroth with me as he told us.' And he saith to me: 'Fear not, for as soon as thou eatest of it ye too shall be as Alahayim, in that ye shall know good and evil. But Alahayim perceived this that ye would be like Him, so he envied you and said, Ye shall not eat of it.
-
So because of this enmity that the serpent rooted in the woman, Alahayim gave commands out of His love in order to protect her from the spirits that seek to turn her away from her salvation;
Genesis 3:16
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
Ignatius to Polycarp 5:1
… Tell my sisters to love the Lord and to be content with their husbands in flesh and in spirit.
Polycarp to the Philippians 4:1-2
..let us arm ourselves with the armor of righteousness, and let us teach ourselves first to walk in the commandment of the Lord; and then our wives also, to walk in the faith that hath been given unto them and in love and purity, cherishing their own husbands in all truth and loving all men equally in all chastity...
-
"Desire" refers to a strong longing or craving for something that brings satisfaction or enjoyment. So, a wife is to be desirous of her husband, being content with him from her heart, cherishing him and desiring to serve him, as she was created as an helpmeet unto him, and that should be her enjoyment (delight), bringing her satisfaction in fulfilling the will of Alahayim for her, being under obedience to the Lord Christ Yache out of love, so as not to be grieved to serve her husband in unwillingness and disobedience to the commandments, continuing in the self-conceit and self-will of the serpent who was a thankless vessel, not content with Alahayim's will and his portion himself.
1 Corinthians 7:34
..she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
Psalms 40:8
I delight to do thy will, O my Alahayim: yea, thy law is within my heart.
1 John 5:3
For this is the love of Alahayim, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
-
The simplicity of the commands for women who are married or ordained to marry to avoid reproach from the adversary or blaspheming Alahayim are as follows;
Polycarp to Philippians 4:1-2
let us teach..2 our wives also, to walk in the faith that hath been given unto them and in love and purity, cherishing their own husbands in all truth and loving all men equally in all chastity, and to train their children in the training of the fear of Alahayim.
Titus 2:4-5
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of Alahayim be not blasphemed.
1 Timothy 5:14-15
I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.
-
A woman, who may be young or new to the faith, has to learn to be in subject to her husband, walking in the faith, following his example and setting an example to her children through her good works herself to support the daily admonitions in righteous discourse that she has when advising her children, especially in matters of behavior or belief under the authority of her husband, as he is her counselor in everything.
Eph 5:22-24
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the Church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the Church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
-
According to the admonitions of Christ Yache, women are to be dependent on or subject to their husbands in everything. Not going according to their own mind or thoughts, but succumbing after the mind of their husband in every matter. For this is how the Church operates toward Christ Yache and how the wife should resemble her mother (the Church) towards her own husband. In such instances where a wife's husband may be in unbelief, she is still called to uphold the faith in her walk (actions and manner of living) in hopes of winning him over for his conversttion;
1Pe 3:1-6
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. 3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of Alahayim of great price. 5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in Alahayim, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands 6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
1 Corinthians 7:16
For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband?
Definitions:
-
Meek-quiet, gentle, and easily imposed on; submissive.
-
Quiet-carried out discreetly, secretly, or with moderation.
-
In alignment with the admonitions of Peter the Apostle which shed light on the high value of meekness and quietness of spirit, the disciples of Christ give further admonitions to help sisters understand how to walk in this simplicity;
1 Clem. 21:6-7
Let us fear the Lord Yache Christ, whose blood was given for us. Let us reverence our rulers; let us honor our elders;
-
This is confirmation that a wife, in reverence for Christ, ought to reverence and honor her husband who has rule over her;
... Let us guide our women toward that which is good: 7 let them show forth their lovely disposition of purity;
-
As Paul and John taught, keep yourselves from idols, not letting an evil thought or desire enter your heart to maintain purity, which can be seen through your genuinely good character, as your 'disposition' does show forth whether you're upholding that which is good from the heart or not;
Definition:
Disposition: a person's inherent qualities of mind and character; an inclination or tendency.
1 Clem. 21:7
let them prove their sincere affection of gentleness; let them make manifest the moderation of their tongue through their silence; let them show their love, not in factious preferences but without partiality towards all them that fear Alahayim, in holiness.
-
Here is an example of a righteous woman who was not beguiled by the Serpent because she was walking in the simplicity of the Law in faith from her youth in her father's house, being in subjection to him and in her adulthood being in subjection to her husband;
4Macc 18:4-6
Now these are the words that the mother of the seven sons, the righteous woman, spake to her children: 'I was a pure maiden, and I strayed not from my father's house, and I kept guard over the rib that was builded into Eve. 5. No seducer of the desert, no deceiver in the field, corrupted me; nor did the false, beguiling Serpent sully the purity of my maidenhood; 6. I lived with my husband all the days of my youth;
-
Leah, was also an example of a woman walking in the simplicity of Christ with her husband;
Jubilees 36:22-24
And all her sons and his sons came to mourn over Leah his wife with him, and to comfort him regarding her, for he was lamenting her. 23. For he loved her exceedingly after Rachel her sister died; for she was perfect and upright in all her ways and honoured Jacob, and all the days that she lived with him he did not hear from her mouth a harsh word, for she was gentle and peaceable and upright and honourable. 24. And he remembered all her deeds which she had done during her life, and he lamented her exceedingly; for he loved her with all his heart and with all his soul.
-
Leah's works exemplify the simplicity of Christ operating in a wife with her husband, warding off the evil through good works in the name of the Lord Yache. Some other simple admonitions to help women in the faith are as follows;
1 Timothy 2:11-12
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
1 Corinthians 14:34-35
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
The Simplicity for Aged Women:
Tit 2:3
The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness,...
-
The behaviors that is becoming of holiness include:
Tit 2:2-3
....be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 3...not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
-
When operating in the behaviors mentioned that is becoming of holiness, the things they may teach younger women are as follows;
Tit 2:4-5
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of Alahayim be not blasphemed.
-
Young women have the simplicity of doing the good works afore mentioned in verse 4-5 which are "to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands."
Definitions:
Keepers at home - (a guard; be “ware”); a stayer at home, that is, domestically inclined (a “good housekeeper”): - keeper at home.
Domestically inclined - having a natural preference or talent for home-related activities like housekeeping, cooking, decorating, and nurturing the home environment
-
Women are also supposed to hold themselves accountable to maintain a sound mind in moderation to perform their duties in the faith, while holding each other accountable as well as sisters, wherein they are correcting themselves in the desire to uphold their duties in the faith if they notice anything endeavoring to deter them from purity of heart while also exhorting a fellow sister whenever they may notice she is in need of restoration to a right mind in moderation as well;
Definitions:
to be sober G4994 (Strong)
σωφρονίζω
sōphronizō
so-fron-id'-zo
From G4998; to make of sound mind, that is, (figuratively) to discipline or correct: - teach to be sober.
Thayer Definition: 1) restore one to his senses 2) to moderate, control, curb, disciple 3) to hold one to his duty 4) to admonish, to exhort earnestly
Mounce Definition: encourage, to restore to a right mind; to make sober-minded, to steady by exhortation and guidance, Tit 2:4
The Simplicity for Widows:
-
Age and requirements for remaining a widow in the church's care without remarrying:
1Ti 5:9-10
Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man, 10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.
-
The simplicity for a widow 60 years old and upwards is as follows:
Polycarp to the Philippians 4:3
Our widows must be sober-minded as touching the faith of the Lord, making intercession without ceasing for all men, abstaining from all calumny, evil speaking, false witness, love of money, and every evil thing, knowing that they are Alahayim's altar, and that all sacrifices are carefully inspected, and nothing escapeth Him either of their thoughts or intents or any of the secret things of the heart.
-
In regard to the younger women who are under 60 years old, the simplicity is as follows for such widows:
1Ti 5:11, 14
But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry; 14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
1 Corinthians 7:39
The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
Polycarp to Philippians 5:2
..It becometh men and women too, when they marry, to unite themselves with the consent of the bishop, that the marriage may be after the Lord and not after concupiscence. Let all things be done to the honour of Alahayim.
-
A widow 59 years of age and under must remarry to whom she will but only to a man that is also in the Lord Yache as well. No action is to be made without counsel, {Sir 37:16} nor a marriage established without the consent of the Bishop of our souls, Yache the Lord, {Ignatius to Polycarp 5:2} so a woman would have to get counsel from Alahayim and consent of the Bishop in order to marry that man she desires to in the Lord.

The Simplicity for Virgins:
Polycarp to the Philippians 5:1, 5
Knowing then that Alahayim is not mocked, we ought to walk worthily of His commandment and His glory. 5..The virgins must walk in a blameless and pure conscience.
I Cor 7:34
....The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit.
The Simplicity for the Woman:
-
For all women, childbearing is for their salvation if they continue in the faith:
1 Timothy 2:13-15
For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
-
Women have to continue and grow in the spirits of faith, charity and holiness with sobriety after having children to be saved.
Apocalypse of Moses 25
"And the Lord turned to me and said: 'Since thou hast harkened to the serpent, and turned a deaf ear to my commandment, thou shalt be in throes of travail and intolerable agonies; thou shalt bear children in much trembling, and in one hour thou shalt come to the birth, and lose thy life, from thy sore trouble and anguish. But thou shalt confess and say: "Lord, Lord, save me, and I will turn no more to the sin of the flesh." And on this account, from thine own words I will judge thee, by reason of the enmity which the enemy has planted in thee.'
-
Remember, the enmity is Disobedience, walking in the carnal mind, fulfilling the lusts of the flesh, not subjecting one's self to the law of Alahayim as Fornication and Lust both draw the soul away from the law, blinding the heart through pleasure or the desire for it;
Romans 8:7-8, 13,
Because the carnal mind is enmity against Alahayim: for it is not subject to the law of Alahayim, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please Alahayim. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
-
If one is willing to do the work to overcome the pleasure in the lust of the flesh to abstain and not perform their works, ye shall live and have peace in one’s mind
Testament of Gad 7:3
Seek out the judgements of the Lord, and thy mind will rest and be at peace
Romans 8:6
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
-
In that spiritual mind, hearken to words of truth (Christ) to work righteousness (fruits of the Spirit) and all the law of the Most High out of love so that Christ may dwell in you, being led by the Spirit:
Testament of Gad 3:1
And now, my children, hearken to the words of truth to work righteousness, and all the law of the Most High, and go not astray through the spirit of hatred, for it is evil in all the doings of men.
Romans 8:10, 14
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of Alahayim, they are the sons of Alahayim.
-
For all women, simplicity in adorning is also to do the following:
1Ti 2:9-10
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 But (which becometh women professing piety) with good works.
-
Being beautiful in modest apparel, costly array, braided hair, and ornaments are fine (so long as it is with good intent of heart in the fear of Alahayim), but let not your outward appearance define your beauty or where you seek praise because favor is deceitful and beauty is vain yet the fear (reverence) of Ahayah in humility brings praise, as being clothed in the good fruits in the fear of Ahayah is what a woman is to be adorned with in her heart genuinely so that they will manifest in all her works and outward appearance:
Pro 31:30
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth Ahayah, she shall be praised.
-
So as a woman professing piety, ensure your adorning is incorruptible by the ornaments of the heart through the fruits of the Spirit in the sight of Alahayim as women of old time adorned themselves, showing their trust in Alahayim and whomever's care they have been placed in by Alahayim through their reverence for their coverings (father or husband) and Alahayim's ministers in their life:
1Pe 3:3-6
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of Alahayim of great price. 5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in Alahayim, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: 6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
-
Sisters just have to be diligent to practice temperance in humility, letting their moderation be known by their continent mind, not to be given to passions (unhealthy emotions), so as to "do well," not to be "afraid with any amazement;"
Philippians 4:5
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
1 Peter 5:6-7
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of Alahayim, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Philippians 4:6-7
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto Alahayim. 7 And the peace of Alahayim, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Yache.
Ecclesiasticus 26:15
A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
The Simplicity for Marriage & Family:
-
For those who desire to marry, they are admonished as follows:
1Co 7:8-9
I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. 9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
Polycarp to Philippians 5:2
…..It becometh men and women too, when they marry, to unite themselves with the consent of the bishop, that the marriage may be after the Lord and not after concupiscence. Let all things be done to the honour of Alahayim.
-
Once the marriage is established after the Lord, the simplicity for women are as follows:
Ignatius to Polycarp 5:1
… Tell my sisters to love the Lord and to be content with their husbands in flesh and in spirit.
Eph 5:22-24
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Polycarp to the Philippians 4:2
…..and then our wives also, to walk in the faith that hath been given unto them and in love and purity, cherishing their own husbands in all truth and loving all men equally in all chastity, and to train their children in the training of the fear of Alahayim.
1 Clem 1:3
On the young too ye enjoined modest and seemly thoughts: and the women ye charged to perform all their duties in a blameless and seemly and pure conscience, cherishing their own husbands, as is meet; and ye taught them to keep in the rule of obedience, and to manage the affairs of their household in seemliness, with all discretion.
-
With understanding the simplicity of Christ's calling for the women, sisters have a guide through scriptures to adhere by in the faith in avoidance of the Devil's subtlety to sway their minds from Christ.

Understanding the Subtlety of the Devil

As we go through this segment, it's a great oppornity for self-examination to ensure none of the works of the devil has place in us as we learn how he operated and operates. In the beginning, the devil was cast out for his disobedience to Alahayim out of his envy and hatred:
Lives of Adam and Eve 10-11
But when Adam had seen her and the devil with her, he wept and cried aloud and said: "O Eve, Eve, where is the labor of thy penitence? How hast thou been again ensnared by our adversary, by whose means we have been estranged from our abode in paradise and spiritual joy?" 11 And when she heard this, Eve understood that it was the devil who had persuaded her to go out of the river; and she fell on her face on the earth, and her sorrow and groaning and wailing were redoubled.
-
Through listening to her husband's understanding of the situation she was able to gain awareness of the devil at work, as he is her covering to guide her to be after his mind in perspective and understanding to depart from evil;
And she cried out and said: "Woe unto thee, thou devil. Why dost thou attack us for no cause? What hast thou to do with us? What have we done to thee? for thou pursuest us with craft. Or why doth thy malice assail us?
-
Operating in craft (manipulation) is a work of the spirit of Fornication, who plots against others to overcome them in one's heart, [Test of Reuben 5] and the spirit of Deceit helps in imagining the evil to do so, [Pro 12:20] wherein the soul will operate in deceit to overcome or gain an advantage over others because of the spirit of Hatred (malice) in heart. [Pro 26:25-26]
Lives of Adam and Eve 11
..Have we taken away thy glory and caused thee to be without honor? Why dost thou harry us, thou enemy, and persecute us to the death in wickedness and envy?
-
Some symptoms of the spirits of Wickedness [Wis 17:11] and Envy [Test of Sol 43-44] at work is "the victim mindset" wherein one doesn't take accountability for one's actions, feeling like one is being done wrong or justified in the wrong actions one may do, stone-walling by not answering questions or giving evasive answers, and/or blame-shifting or avoiding taking responsibility for one's actions by some means of manipulation when confronted for what one has done or doing;
Lives of Adam and Eve 13-14
13 The devil replied, "Adam, what dost thou tell me? It is for thy sake that I have been hurled from that place.
-
Eve was the one that asked the questions but she got stone-walled with no response to her, as the devil directed his responses to Adam who had called out the wrong he had one unto Eve. He DARVO'd in Blame-shifted unto Adam, avoiding accountability for his own choices, actions or taking responsibility for what he had just done to Eve, making Adam the offender and himself the victim;
When thou wast formed, I was hurled out of the presence of Alahayim and banished from the company of the angels. When Alahayim blew into thee the breath of life and thy face and likeness was made in the image of Alahayim, Michael also brought thee and made us worship thee in the sight of Alahayim; and Alahayim the
Lord spake: Here is Adam. I have made thee in our image and likeness." 14 And Michael went out and called all the angels saying: "Worship the image of Alahayim as the Lord Alahayim hath commanded." And Michael himself worshiped first; then he called me and said: "Worship the image of Alahayim the Lord." And I answered, "I have no need to worship Adam." And since Michael kept urging me to worship, I said to him, "Why dost thou urge me? I will not worship an inferior and younger being than I. I am his senior in the Creation, before he was made was I already made. It is his duty to worship me."
-
He established what was right in his own mind and self-conceit, not submitting himself to the will of the Lord Yache in his self-will, despising his dominion as he felt the command He gave wasn't right in his sight, so he refused to keep it in his arrogance (Hatred and Fornication among other spirits helping maintain his arrogance).
Lives of Adam and Eve 15
When the angels, who were under me, heard this, they refused to worship him. And Michael saith, "Worship the image of Alahayim, but if thou wilt not worship him the Lord Alahayim will be wroth with thee."
-
Desiring that vaing glory, he was willing to provoke the Lord Christ to wrath with him;
And I said, "If He be wroth with me, I will set my seat above the stars of heaven and will be like the Highest."
-
The same desire also led to the envy of the Highest as well;
Lives of Adam and Eve 16
"And Alahayim the Lord was wroth with me and banished me and my angels from our glory; and on thy account were we expelled from our abodes into this world and hurled on the earth.
-
Notice, he continued in the blame-shifting even when telling what happened to him, making himself the victim of the Lord having done him wrong because of Adam, wherein he (the Devil) had done nothing wrong. This is because, in his emotions through which Envy sees, he can't see himself as the one at fault when other's hold him accountable for what he is doing as Wrath justifies being angry and Anger justifies whatever is done, aiding Hatred in the heart and Envy in the mind towards another.
And straightway we were overcome with grief, since we had been spoiled of so great glory.
-
There is the 'worldy sorrow' that doesn't lead to repentance as they were grieved because their desires weren't fulfilled, not that they had actually done wrong to desist from what had gotten them banished or what they desired (glory and being worshipped) that led to banishment;
And we were grieved when we saw thee in such joy and luxury.
-
Jealousy at work with Envy and Hatred, languishing over someone else's blessings though he himself doesn't want to change. As these spirits would lead unto, the next thing he will do is operate in Deceit to fulfill his desires of seeing others suffering too, as he is unwilling to genuinely change himself in repentance from his unfruitful works even though he isn't prospering in them because his self-will (arrogance) won't allow him to look at himself and the fruit of his actions to stop, partially due to the deflection from taking accountability by keeping himself distracted from having to do so by focusing on judging, critiquing, and tearing down others in his jealousy;
And with guile I cheated thy wife and caused thee to be expelled through her doing from thy joy and luxury, as I have been driven out of my glory."
Testament of Gad 4:1-2
Beware, therefore, my children of hatred; for it worketh lawlessness even against the Lord Himself. 2 For it will not hear the words of His commandments concerning the loving of one’s neighbour, and it sinneth against Alahayim.
-
In his hatred, the Devil sinned against Alahayim in his self-will (arrogance to do what pleases him) against the Lord Yache, not keeping their commandment to worship Adam. Being Angels, though greater in strength and power, they were to operate in humility to serve the lesser creation, Man, putting on the yoke of Christ their Lord, who himself, though it was not robbery to be equal with Alahayim, took on the form of a servant;
Testament of Gad 4:4
And if it be a servant it stirreth him up against his master, and with every affliction it deviseth against him if possibly he can be put to death, for hatred worketh with envy also against them that prosper: so long as it heareth of or seeth their success, it always languisheth.
-
This shows that the Devil was looking for an occasion to reproach the Lord Yache, his master and creator, as he was languishing at the success He was having in all His works by Alahayim prospering him. This same Hatred and Envy is at work in households wherein a spouse or spouses are looking for occasions to reproach one another, giving place to the flesh, rather than to love one another and help one another uphold the faith, giving place to the spirit of Christ to serve one another. In the world, the Devil devises against Man to cause us to sin in his desire to cast us from the joy and luxury of our Lord Christ Yache, whom he was supposed to serve in the beginning in obedience. Seeing he didn't humble himself to the Lord Yache himself or man made in the image of Alahayim, he desires both to be put to death in his hatred, endeavoring to cause man to sin so that he may die in it and that Christ may be afflicted by what his creation is doing against him.
Acts of John 14
He then, through me, exhorts you: Brethren, I wish to remain without grief, without insult, without treachery, without punishment. For He also knows insult from you, He knows also dishonour, He knows also treachery, He knows also punishment from those that disobey His commandments.
-
Essentially, as a son who hates his father would do, he detached himself as an enemy from his father, the Lord who created him, in his anger and is trying to hurt Yache by hurting His other children or causing them harm, endeavoring to afflict Him, their Everlasting father, seeing as though he cannot overpower Him himself. All this is being done through his envy and the spirits that aid him to continue in his emotions (passions) because of his unfulfilled desires that he still has pleasure in and wants to fulfill in his lack of contentment with the will of Alahayim;
Wisdom of Solomon 2:24
Nevertheless through envy of the devil came death into the world: and they that do hold of his side do find it.
Testament of Gad 4:4
..for hatred worketh with envy also against them that prosper: so long as it heareth of or seeth their success, it always languisheth.
-
This helps confirm it was hatred and envy that the Devil operated in from seeing how he felt about Adam, spake to him, and devised against him by cheating his wife to get him cast out. Also, his works help understand what the characteristics or actions look like if one holding to his side to operate in his spirit when self-assessing to abstain from continuing in them going forward to overcome him through Yache's spirit and love leading us unto righteousness.
The Works of the Devil against the Woman
-
Now focusing on how Satan, in his hatred and envy, cheats the women, endeavoring to take down man and woman in the process;
Lives of Adam and Eve 16
...And straightway we were overcome with grief, since we had been spoiled of so great glory. And we were grieved when we saw thee in such joy and luxury. And with guile I cheated thy wife and caused thee to be expelled through her doing from thy joy and luxury, as I have been driven out of my glory."
-
Satan knew Eve was the weaker vessel and took advantage of her vulnerability in order to cause the fall of Adam. Before that time, when they abode in the truth observing the commandments of the Lord, the man and his wife were clothed in the spirits of Alahayim's family because of their faithfulness to perform the commandments, agreeing together as the image of Alahayim in truth from the beginning for seven years. The devil sought to disrupt this union and cast them from their glory by lying to entice the woman against Alahayim, which would also cause her to usurp authority over her husband in the end.
Jubilees 3:15-17
And in the first week of the first jubilee, [1-7 A.M.] Adam and his wife were in the Garden of Eden for seven years tilling and keeping it, and we gave him work and we instructed him to do everything that is suitable for tillage. 16. And he tilled (the Garden), and was naked and knew it not, and was not ashamed, and he protected the garden from the birds and beasts and cattle, and gathered its fruit, and ate, and put aside the residue for
himself and for his wife [and put aside that which was being kept]. 17. And after the completion of the seven years, which he had completed there, seven years exactly, [8 A.M.] and in the second month, on the seventeenth day (of the month), the serpent came and approached the woman, and the serpent said to the woman, "Hath Alahayim commanded you, saying, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the Garden?"
-
The Devil triangulated with the serpent to entice Eve to sin with the peer pressure, knowing women are the weaker vessel, {I Pet 3:7} being overcome with the spirit of Fornication more than men, {Reuben 5:3} so she would be easier to persuade and influence with his guile because she is more susceptible to give her mind over to pleasure as Fornication would deceive her to do to overcome her mind. He also knew Adam's vulnerability was his wife to cause him to turn from Alahayim as he said "with guile I cheated thy wife and caused thee to be expelled" because he knew she would be his means of getting to Adam. Out of hatred (which mates with Lying) and envy (which operates with Deceit), the Devil offered the woman what sounded good to make her feel she could be as Alahayim herself through knowledge, which isn't actually true as knowledge puffs up as opposed to Charity, which edifies as Alahayim is love Himself, so His knowledge is used to educate and help His creation. The Devil has tempted the woman with lust for power, control, and knowledge from the beginning. This struggle is still affecting women today, and that is why self-will in despising dominion for their own independence, the pleasure in manipulation (Deceit) and witchcraft to get an advantage for themselves over others by outward attraction or craft is turning them away from the simplicity of Christ. The woman was made to be loving, gentle, good, joyful, helpful, discrete, chaste, honest and reverent in honor for her covering even as the Holy Spirit is to the Father. From the beginning, the woman's role was to take care of what the head of household builds and brings into their possession. Because of the Devil's temptation, the woman transgressed the command of Alahayim in the beginning and fell from her glory, and being deceived herself through Satan's malice and deceit, she became a vessel to Satan and he spake through her to deceive her husband, as she herself was unfortunately willing to take him down to allow the devil to do so through her. The attack was on the whole household to take it down from serving Alahayim through the desire for knowledge beyond the simplicity of the knowledge of Alahayim to work lawlessness (self-will), establishing one's own law of what's right or wrong in one's own sight (as one's own master) out of hatred towards Alahayim and His order; covetousness for corruptible things forbidden by Him in his law to fear getting caught rather than fearing in reverence to offend Alahayim out of love {affection} and one's own unwillingness to do wrong from one's heart; and envy of His authority and government in self-will, desiring to do as one pleases according to the fleshly lusts rather than the contentment of serving Him from the heart through His spirits in love. The beginning of sin to go down this harmful path to the bringing down of mankind is ascribed to the woman being the one in transgression and cause of the fall of mankind because she hearkened to the Devil, became his vessel, and helped lead astray her husband.
Sirach 25:24
Of the woman came the beginning of sin, and through her we all die.
1Ti 2:13-14
For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
-
Having been deceived and letting Satan speak through her mouth to deceive her husband, the Lord, in his desire to help his daughters, has given them ordinances of having their desire to their husband and his rule over them, {Gen 3:16} learning in silence with all subjection [1 Tim 2:11] asking their question to him to learn in the proper setting, keeping silent in the churches, [I Cor 14:34-35] along with being of a meek and quiet spirit [I Pet 3:4] for their wellbeing in a sound mind. Her silence is a token of her moderation [I Clem 21:7] and being silent and loving is a token that she is a gift from the Lord. [Sirach 26:14] A woman's moderation in a meek and quiet spirit with her chaste behavior is an example to convert the unbelievers, [I Pet 3:1-2] (even if it be her husband that is in unbelief) which will not only keep her from the attacks of the Devil, lest she be a stumbling block to anyone on the Devil's behalf, but Alahayim will also win souls over unto Them through her operation in Their spirits. Our mother has given an account of what sadly happened for mankind to be admonished.
The Apocalypse of Moses 14
..And Adam saith to Eve: "Eve, what hast thou wrought in us? Thou hast brought upon us great wrath which is death, mastering it over all our race." And he saith to her, "Call all our children and our children's children and tell them the manner of our transgression."
-
He did not stop loving his wife, not being bitter against her [Col 3:19] even though she was in the transgression and caused him harm by leading him astray to get him deprived of the glory he once had, he dwelt with her according to the knowledge of the law, sorrowing with her as she miscarried [Sirach 37:12] and took responsibility for his part in the fall as well, confessing he transgressed too, hoping for mercy. [Pro 28:13]
The Apocalypse of Moses 15
Then saith Eve to them: "Hear, all my children and children's children, and I will relate to you how the enemy deceived us. It befell that we were guarding paradise, each of us the portion allotted to us from Alahayim. Now I guarded in my lot the west and the south. But the devil went to Adam's lot, where the male creatures were. For Alahayim divided the creatures; all the males he gave to your father, and all the females he gave to me.
-
She was repentant and confessing her sins in transparency as the righteous do as an example of a believer.[Sir 4:26-27]
The Apocalypse of Moses 16
"And the devil spake to the serpent, saying, 'Rise up, come to me and I will tell thee a word whereby thou mayst have profit.' And he rose and came to him.
-
The serpent hearkened to the Devil himself instantly by getting up and going to him, hoping to profit something for himself, not being thankful and content with Alahayim's will for his life to protect his mind and heart. (This in part is why Alahayim referred to him as a thankless vessel and helps understand that hearkening to the Devil isn't showing gratitude towards Alahayim and Their portion for us in our lives.) The Serpent's first mistake is covetousness not being content with Alahayim's will in Hatred, which stirs up all covetousness by evidence of hearkening to idols instead of words of truth, being willing to entertain the Devil's lying words for personal gain. From the Beginning, we all are enticed and drawn away from contentment unto the spirits of the Devil's family by our desires. { James 1:14}
And the devil saith to him: 'I hear that thou art wiser than all the beasts, and I have come to counsel thee.
-
The devil was working ruin by flattering the serpent {Pro 26:28} to get him uplifted self-conceit, delighting in himself, which is what Wrath does by a word {Test of Dan 4:1-4} to cause him to yield because the words please him, which gives place for him to be persuaded by Satan's lies {Pro 7:21} as Wrath always goeth with Lying at the right hand of Satan. {Test of Dan 3:6}
Why dost thou eat of Adam's tares and not of paradise? Rise up and we will cause him to be cast out of paradise, even as we were cast out through him.' The serpent saith to him, 'I fear lest the Lord be wroth with me.' The devil saith to him: 'Fear not, only be my vessel and I will speak through thy mouth words to deceive him.'
-
The serpent hearkened to the Devil himself to be his vessel, believing the Devil's lies that getting Adam cast out would profit him. The serpent was persuaded easily by offering him something that seemed it would benefit him, puffing up his ego by flattery, telling him how wise he is to make him think he should know better than to be content with his portion, then offered him a life of more pleasure than what Alahayim gave him, which shows why the spirit of contentment is essential to holiness. {I Tim 6:6} The Devil seeks to persuade us by our desires that are contrary to Alahayim's will for us (Fornication helping in that effort as she operates in the love of evil pleasures). [Test of Rueben 2:9; 3:3] As one can see, the Devil lies with words of transgression but is deceitful as well, speaking some things true to persuade us {Hermas Mandate 11 (1:10)} as it was true they would get Adam cast out, but it wouldn't truly profit the serpent for example as he still wouldn't get to eat of the fruit of paradise as he desired, getting cast out too as well as further punished for his deed by the Lord. This persuasion of the Devil according to our desires can be either in one's mind which enters the heart as it befell Judas {John 13:2} and/or through other vessels like people as it befell Adam when the Devil spake through Eve {Apoc of Moses 21} or creatures like the serpent or the Devil himself who persuaded the serpent with deceit to feel Adam wronged him as well when the Devil said "even as we were cast out through him." We also have A.I. and CGI today, so there are many avenues by which the Devil and his spirits can speak through to lead us astray from the simplicity of Christ and obeying Alahayim's voice. This is why we have to guard our minds, hearts, tongues, and what we attend unto as an evil thought or word can take root in our heart, whether in our minds or from outside of us through our senses, and entice us or we can be used to do the same to someone else to bring forth some sin. In continuation of the account of what happened, the Serpent has agreed to let Satan speak through him to fulfill his desire to get Adam cast out and no longer have to eat his tares. Let's continue:
The Apocalypse of Moses 17
"And instantly he hung himself from the wall of paradise, and when the angels ascended to worship Alahayim, then Satan appeared in the form of an angel and sang hymns like the angels. And I bent over the wall and saw him, like an angel.
-
Unlike the serpent, Eve didn't know it was the devil at the onset of seeing him. The Devil is love bombing by mirroring the good angels in appearance to win Eve over by his outward show to deceive her.
But he saith to me: 'Art thou Eve?' And I said to him, 'I am.' 'What art thou doing in paradise?' And I said to him, 'Alahayim set us to guard and to eat of it.' The devil answered through the mouth of the serpent: 'Ye do well but ye do not eat of every plant.'
-
She is being triangulated by the devil and the serpent at this point and they're asking her questions to see her vulnerability.
And I said: 'Yea, we eat of all, save one only, which is in the midst of paradise, concerning which, Alahayim charged us not to eat of it: for, He said to us, on the day on which ye eat of it, ye shall die the death.'
-
Notice, she was given the command from Alahayim too. She spake the truth in fear and meekness as is fit for a believer, but the Devil by the serpent aroused doubt in her heart by his statement, which made her consider if they are really living well since they don’t eat of every tree of the Garden. As simple as it seems, Doubtful Mindedness is an evil spirit, even the daughter of the Devil. {Shepherd of Hermas Mandate 9 [1:8]} While covetousness (greed) being within the body seizes upon the goods of others and isn't content with it's portion. [Acts of Thomas 27]
The Apocalypse of Moses 18
"Then the serpent saith to me, 'May Alahayim live! but I am grieved on your account, for I would not have you ignorant. But arise, come hither, harken to me and eat and mind the value of that tree.'
-
He is being deceitful, acting like he cares with the intent to throw her into the pit of Fornication through the desire of pleasure unto idols, [Test of Reuben 4:6] persuading her to see things differently than what Alahayim said was beneficial for her. [Sir 12:16] He acted grieved like she was missing out on something that she was ignorant of, tempting her to hearken to him and look at the tree with a different perspective than Alahayim's, by viewing it as something with value, worth eating that she was just ignorant of. Wrath with Lying helps beguile the soul to give into covetousness [Test of Naphtali 3:1] so the Devil's lying words through the serpent is helping lead her to give into vexation (pride), from which Wrath arise with Lying, causing her to desire that which is perishable in covetousness, [Test of Dan 4] as Hatred, which constantly mates with Lying [Test of Gad 5:1] stirs up to work lawlessness, [Test of Gad 4:1] with Wrath aiding in this self-will [Test of Dan 3:5] to sin against Alahayim. As one can see, more idols will be coming into the picture unawares to her at this point, as she isn't aware of what's going on spiritually as Fornication deceives the mind and understanding, [Test of Reuben 4:6] withdrawing the soul from the law by blinding the inclination, but the anxiety she is about to be experiencing in fear is a sign of the idols at work as Covetousness puts the soul into fear and shame because it wants what is forbidden (the fruit from the tree of good and evil) and is afraid to get caught seizing upon it and it be found out to be put to shame. [Acts of Thomas 27] Then you also have Wickedness who operates in fear, being very timorous because the conscience is weighing on her. [Wis of Solomon 17:11-12] Understanding the spirits that are at work in helping cause a soul to sin, the fear Eve is about to say she is experiencing isn't the fear (reverence) of the Lord that would help her come out of the temptation because she actually wants to do what's right herself, knowing the Lord looks upon her inclination so she fears to do anything wrong in humility of heart for conscience's sake. [Test of Gad 5:3-6; Test of Ben 6:6-7] Unfortunately, it's the fear of the devil in the guilty conscience, being inclined unto wickedness, because one desires to do evil, but just doesn't want to get caught or held accountable for acting upon it, which causes anxiety or fear, as just not wanting to get caught or be held accountable but still having the desire for the pleasure of whatever temptation it may be in isn't what it takes to resist the lust of or pleasure in the works and spirits of the Devil: [Hermas Mandate 7]
But I said to him, 'I fear lest Alahayim be wroth with me as he told us.'
-
Remember we cannot be enticed but by our own lusts, so she had the desire to try the fruit herself though she feared Alahayim would be wroth if she did, fearing being held accountable, not fearing to do wrong herself. Fear alone without the desire not to do it is not enough to resist the Devil as we have to desire to do Alahayim's will from our own genuine heart's desire, being content with it, fearing Him with reverence to keep His commandments. With Eve, her desire to try the fruit has made her vulnerable by evidence of her getting anxious in fear of being caught and held accountable;
And he saith to me: 'Fear not, for as soon as thou eatest of it ye too shall be as Alahayim, in that ye shall know good and evil. But Alahayim perceived this that ye would be like Him, so he envied you and said, Ye shall not eat of it. Nay, do thou give heed to the plant and thou wilt see its great glory.'
-
She was devalued, being criticized like she wasn't doing right by not eating every fruit and diminished like she is just ignorant and doesn't understand the great glory of the fruit or Alahayim's envy for her so she needs to follow the serpent's lead and listen to him.
Yet I feared to take of the fruit. And he saith to me: 'Come hither, and I will give it thee. Follow me.'
-
He tempted her to hearken to him with the desire of the eyes by encouraging her to look at the tree and with the desire for power (control) to be as Alahayim through knowledge and deciding what is good or evil for herself as her own alahayim instead of submitting to the simplicity of the Law as the outline of good and evil in agreement with Alahayim. He lied saying Alahayim envied her, which enticed her to rebel against Alahayim by yielding to his words and following him. Notice, he set her at variance with Alahayim by saying Alahayim envied her, so you can see how the struggle for the woman is against Alahayim, not her head of the household. The lust of knowledge for power still is a weakness for women to this day from the same old Serpent (the Devil) but they don't realize it's Alahayim they are rebelling against. Now that you understand, stand aloof from Satan dear sisters. Satan deceived Eve to hearken and follow him instead of following the fear of Alahayim which she formerly knew in simplicity. We cannot serve two masters, so it's needful to take the time to self examine whom we are going to serve through our works. He also tempted her by making her believe he had knowledge above Alahayim when he said "I would not have you ignorant" as if she was being deceived by Alahayim or that He was withholding necessary knowledge from her. As the scriptures attest, the law is our wisdom [Duet 4:6} and what was revealed to us so that we may do it as our righteousness. [Duet 29:29; 6:25] In truth, the story of Eve's fall attests to the fact that Alahayim gave her the true wisdom which is the simplicity of obeying His voice in meekness. Her duty was to be an helpmeet to her husband, and govern Alahayim's creation in unity with her husband, but Satan's subtlety lead her away from that. Sisters are being tempted to go against Alahayim Himself, so be encouraged to walk in simplicity, humility and contentment according to the law because any spirit of lust, doubt, covetousness, self-will or pride that arises to lead you away from Ahayah's will is taking you away from the glory mankind once had in the beginning and shall re-attain through obedience in these latter times. Your war is not against your father, brother, husband, or which ever ministering man's care Alahayim has placed you under in the Church. In truth rather, you're being tempted against Alahayim within yourself. Understand that Satan knows who he is trying to make you rebel against as is evident by the account of the first woman, so take good heed and courage to press into the work of salvation through willingness and obedience to fulfill the will of Alahayim in contentment.
The Apocalypse of Moses 19
“And I opened to him and he walked a little way, then turned and said to me: 'I have changed my mind, and I will not give thee to eat until thou swear to me to give also to thy husband.' And I said, 'What sort of oath shall I swear to thee? Yet what I know, I say to thee: By the throne of the Master, and by the Cherubim and the Tree of Life, I will give also to my husband to eat.' And when he had received the oath from me, he went and poured upon the fruit the poison of his wickedness, which is lust, the root and beginning of every sin, and he bent the branch on the earth and I took of the fruit and I ate.
-
(Once she opened to the Serpent, he brought her further into iniquity by withholding the thing he enticed her to lust after in order get her to agree to cause someone else to partake in the transgression for the sake of what she desired or felt she could gain from the act though she knew it was wrong to Alahayim. May we learn from our mother and give the Devil and his spirits no place in our hearts by making any provision in our thoughts to hearken or incline ourselves unto them for any of the lusts of the flesh to work in us, knowing they only intend to cause us and others harm. For we are shown here that what they offer only leads further into sin and death. No mention of her husband was made until she was fully committed to opening herself to follow Satan and not keep herself in subjection to the law of Alahayim. This helps understand that the variance between a man and his wife is stemming from either or both parties opening themselves to the Devil through what ever evil spirits qualities they have pleasure in giving their minds over to to operate in their works, unwilling to resist the passions (emotions) that are indicating what they are desiring, letting into their hearts, or doing isn't of Alahayim to come out of the temptation, giving their minds over to the indulgence of the thoughts or desires to fulfill the hurtful works thereof. [Hermas Parable 6] Knowing the attack on the household, as one, we are encouraged to work together through contenment with the will of Alahayim, faith and trust He wants and gives what's best for us, reverence, and the good desire to work righteousness to maintain our focus on the work within ourselves to stand aloof from the enemy through diligence in the fruits of the Spirit while also be an help to our spouse to strengthen them with righteous discourse when they are being tempted to prevail over the passions (idols) through reasoning in a temperate mind as well;
The Apocalypse of Moses 20
"And in that very hour my eyes were opened, and forthwith I knew that I was bare of the righteousness with which I had been clothed upon, and I wept and said to him: 'Why hast thou done this to me in that thou hast deprived me of the glory with which I was clothed?' But I wept also about the oath, which I had sworn. But he descended from the tree and vanished.

She got discarded by the Devil and the serpent after they fulfilled their desires as evil spirits won't abide after they've gotten their supply from us in fulfilling some sin, leaving us to deal with the shame of what we've done. Evil spirits and evil angels are narcissists as we've seen the cycle of 'love bombing (mirroring), devaluing (triangulation), and discard.' Though aren't going into it in this tab, 'hoovering' would later occur when the Devil will come to Eve as an angel a second time, love-bombing to win her over by his outward show, mirroring what would gain her to entertain his words of transgression to cause her fall again, all of which are the common traits of narcissistic abuse {Love-bomb, Devalue, Discard, Hoovering}. As for Eve at this time, she wept because of the oath but not in repentance as Lust and Fornication wouldn't suffer her to have compassion for herself or the harm she was about to cause another [Test of Judah 17] and covetousness would not suffer her to tell the truth and take accountability lest she should be put to shame [Acts of Thomas 27] to help humble her and bring forth fruits of repentance not to do the same thing again or cause another to partake in her works. (Just a side note: after evil spirits lead us to sin, they discard us, leaving us to deal with the shame of what we've done as is seen in Eve's case. How they operate hasn't changed as even Judas was left by the Devil to deal with the shame of what he had done after he fulfilled his evil desire. Lord willing this helps understand that it's not a good spirit at work when that fit of bitterness, anger, vexation, anxiety or fear comes upon us as it's a time to calm down in purity of heart to come back to temperance or be temperate, silencing our minds to understand how to hold fast the will of Alahayim, and praying for the help in patience, speaking truth in our hearts when we are settled down to come out of the temptation, not wanting to be given over, as giving place to operate in their spirits will only leave us to deal with the shame of what we've done if we do so.)

And I began to seek, in my nakedness, in my part for leaves to hide my shame, but I found none, for as soon as I had eaten, the leaves showered down from all the trees in my part, except the fig-tree only. But I took leaves from it and made for myself a girdle and it was from the very same plant of which I had eaten.

The woman is clothed with the glory of righteousness when she abides in the simplicity of Alahayim's commands ordained for her, submitting herself under the rule of her lord, whomever that may be respectively, as is right in the sight of Alahayim. May it be an encouragement for you, the daughters, to abide in that righteousness that you may not be robbed of your glory through Lust, Hatred in Covetousness and Fornication (and what ever other idols may enter in through these means) as the Devil would desire. After obeying the lusts of one's heart by persuasion of the Devil, he leaves us to grieve over our error, in sorrow and self-hatred which leads to death by evidence of the works of Judas and admonitions of James. [Ja 1:13-15] On the other hand, with Lord Yache, when we obey his desire for us from our heart, he will never forsake us, [Heb 13:5] and if we err as we are learning to do good, confessing our faults, [1Jhn 1:8-9] taking the experiences as good for our learning [Barn 19:6] and seeking out Alahayim's judgments in His law for our growth, [Test of Gad 7:3] Lord Yache will intercede for us [Heb 7:25] and cleanse from all unrighteousness [1Jhn 1:9] by his spirit working in us to change [Php 1:6] according to the will of Alahayim. [Php 2:13] Also, Alahayim's spirit of Love and Long-suffering will help us (with the spiritual Law) to come out of our fall to our salvation as we grow from each hurdle we face, [Test of Gad 4:6] as They did the same for Adam and his wife.
Wisdom of Solomon 9:9-11
And Wisdom was with thee: which knoweth thy works, and was present when thou madest the world, and knew what was acceptable in thy sight, and right in thy commandments. 10 O send her out of thy holy heavens, and from the throne of thy glory, that being present she may labour with me, that I may know what is pleasing unto thee. 11 For she knoweth and understandeth all things, and she shall lead me soberly in my doings, and preserve me in her power.
Wisdom of Solomon 7:27
And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself, she maketh all things new: and in all ages entering into holy souls, she maketh them friends of Alahayim, and prophets.
Wisdom of Solomon 10:1-2
She preserved the first formed father of the world, that was created alone, and brought him out of his fall, 2 And gave him power to rule all things.

Now for understanding the spiritual duress Eve was in after her fall, Eve didn't humble herself to repent in reverence for Alahayim or her husband to break the evil oath which she made even though she was aware of the damage it would cause having been deprived of glory herself. This lack of empathy is the work of the Lust in her from eating the fruit and Fornication that blinded her heart through pleasure so that she may not understand the gravity of the poor decision she was making to eat the forbidden fruit; and Covetousness that lead her to seize upon what was forbidden and is now keeping her from repenting in honesty, being ashamed to restore what's right unto Alahayim and Adam by breaking her oath sworn to the Serpent and dealing with whatever may come from telling the truth in humility. (Thankfully she grew from this experience, not falling again after her second fall, and she is here in this same book confessing what happened in humility so we can understand that we can grow from our mistakes too if we set our minds to the task, believing Alahayim and having faith in Christ working in us to overcome the evil spirits that have sway over thoughts, bringing everything into subjection to the obedience of Christ in hopes of salvation).
Isaiah 55:6-8
Seek ye Ahayah while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto Ahayah, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our Alahayim, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith Ahayah.
Ezekiel 18:32
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Ahayah: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
-
He doesn’t think as man is led to think by the spirt of Lying in shame that change is not possible to continue in covetousness, but rather, than man would turn unto Him with the whole heart, purpose driven to put in the work to live by performing that which is right in His sight, hearkening (attending unto or entertaining) words of truth to work righteousness and all His law to overthrow wickedness by good works, cast of Hatred by righteousness, and destroy pride and envy by humility, remaining in obedience to the law in all facets of life;
Baruch 4:28
For as it was your mind to go astray from Alahayim: so, being returned, seek him ten times more.
Ezekiel 18:21-22
But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.

Understanding some of the spirits Eve was taken in through being in her feelings, causing her to be unable to see things in truth, it is evident Envy is at work [Test of Solomon 44] and she's falling right into the same envy (like the Devil) against Alahayim and Adam to cause Adam to fall from his glory. Envy operates with Deceit [Test of Simeon 3:1] and Jealousy [Test of Reuben 3:5; Simeon 2:6-14] having Eve in her feelings, sorrowing (Envy) in the shame of Lying and Covetousness, unwilling to leave off from her sin, thinking she had no option but to just fulfill the oath she made (Deceit), instead of just being honest to confess her fault in humility (combating Envy) and guilelessness, (combating Deceit & Lying) being content (combating Covetousness) with whatever would come from being honest to withstand those evil spirits by stating the oath she made with the serpent to her husband and not going through with it. Unfortunately, Jealousy estranged her heart in hatred to operate in deceit to take her husband down from his prosperity as Hatred and Envy desired, just as the Devil did unto her. Among the hurtful works of the other spirits, Envy doesn't suffer one to do any good thing, seeking to destroy the person it envies, fading away in sorrow at other's prosperity because it rules the whole mind, [Test of Simeon 3:1-3] not suffering prudence to act in a person. [Test of Simeon 4:4-7] Understanding how these spirits take a person's mind and understanding away from really grasping the hurt they are causing to themselves and/or others, what Eve is about to do to Adam to his hurt (and her own hurt as he is her covering) by causing him to fall from the commandments of Alahayim helps understand that when we seek to cause someone else to go against the commands of Alahayim it can only be by being blinded, whether through ignorance, desire or pleasure, giving place to the Devil and his spirits, not operating with good intent in the fear of Alahayim and service unto Christ the Lord;
The Apocalypse of Moses 21
"And I cried out in that very hour, 'Adam, Adam, where art thou? Rise up, come to me and I will show thee a great secret.' But when your father came, I spake to him words of transgression which have brought us down from our great glory. For, when he came, I opened my mouth and the devil was speaking, and I began to exhort him and said, 'Come hither, my lord Adam, harken to me and eat of the fruit of the tree of which Alahayim told us not to eat of it, and thou shalt be as a Alahayim.' And your father answered and said, 'I fear lest Alahayim be wroth with me.' And I said to him, 'Fear not, for as soon as thou hast eaten thou shalt know good and evil.' And speedily I persuaded him, and he ate, and straightway his eyes were opened and he, too, knew his nakedness. And to me he saith, 'O wicked woman! what have I done to thee that thou hast deprived me of the glory of Alahayim?'
-
The spirit of Sorrow, one of the 12 evil women, overwhelmed her heart and Jealousy, which causes a person to forget sobriety and moderation [Test of Solomon 38] to be given over to the lusts of Fornication, blinded her mind [Test of Simeon 2:7] to be deceived by Fornication from understanding herself or what's right to do in the moment [Test of Reuben 7:4] so that she didn't take the time to think soberly to humble herself in repentance of the deed in truth by confessing the sin to her husband instead of involving him in it. As you see, the attack is to take down the whole household through lust and pride in covetousness to transgress the commandments and operate in the works of the flesh, {Gal 5:19-21} through the love of or desire for pleasure in spiritual fornication, giving place to the idols because of our lack of contentment with the will of Alahayim in our lives, so we have to be on guard against covetousness through love and gratitude in humility and contentment for the well being of the household. The women are endowed with power in the fruits as an helpmeet, as was evident in Eve's glory of the spirit of Righteousness, being trusted by Alahayim with the guarding of the females, helping her husband's labors in taking care of the Garden. Satan entices women to usurp authority over men, endeavoring to be masters over their head of household through the works of the flesh, as he knows it is of no value in the sight of Alahayim, in his endeavor to provoke the Lord Yache unto grief through causing his children to sin. The Lord Yache, our Everlasting father, hopes through the love he has shown in giving himself, his children would consider him with affection, to keep themselves from evil so he may dwell in peace, beholding our love in good works for him;
Ode of Solomon 8:11-12
Keep my mystery, you who are kept by it; keep my faith, you who are kept by it. 11. And understand my knowledge, you who know me in truth; love me with affection, you who love; 12. For I turn not my face from my own, because I know them.
Acts of John 93
He beseecheth you by me, brethren, and entreateth you, desiring to remain without grief, without insult, not conspired against, not chastened: for he knoweth even the insult that cometh of you, he knoweth even dishonour, he knoweth even conspiracy, he knoweth even chastisement, from them that hearken not to his commandments.
-
Confirming the devil endeavors to afflict our everlasting father Yache with grief by causing us not to hearken to His words to truth to work righteousness in the commandments;
Acts of John 94
Let not then our good Alahayim be grieved, the compassionate, the merciful, the holy, the pure, the undefiled, the immaterial, the only, the one, the unchangeable, the simple, the guileless, the unwrathful, even our Alahayim Yache Christ, who is above every name that we can utter or conceive, and more exalted. Let him rejoice with us because we walk aright, let him be glad because we live purely, let him be refreshed because our conversation is sober. Let him be without care because we live continently, let him be pleased because we communicate one with another, let him smile because we are chaste, let him be merry because we love him.
-
Women, dear sisters, be mindful of the adversary's tricks and always examine your thoughts and speech to be sure one doesn't tempt anyone to transgress the commands of Ahayah, knowing his endeavor is to cause greif to our Everlasting father and displease the Holy Father who has no pleasure in the death of him that dieth through sins. Also, by good works of faith, love, discretion, and a quiet spirit, support your family and be on guard for them and yourself so as not to stumble in one jot or one tittle in the law like Zipporah the wife of Moses, which is pleasing unto Ahayah and Lord Yache. You can overcome the enemy by cleaving sincerely from the heart in belief on the name Yache and conviction of the work he can do in you to the glory of Alahayim, loving the will of Ahayah over your former desires, and cleaving unto your covering, going after his mind to be guided in the ways of Alahayim.
The Apocalypse of Moses 22-23
"And in that same hour, we heard the archangel Michael blowing his trumpet and calling to the angels and saying: 'Thus saith the Lord, Come with me to paradise and hear the judgment with which I shall judge Adam.' "And when Alahayim appeared in paradise, mounted on the chariot of his cherubim with the angels proceeding before him and singing hymns of praises, all the plants of paradise, both of your father's lot and mine, broke out into flowers. And the throne of Alahayim was fixed where the Tree of Life was. 23 "And Alahayim called Adam saying, 'Adam, where art thou? Can the house be hidden from the presence of its builder?' Then your father answered: 'It is not because we think not to be found by thee, Lord, that we hide, but I was afraid, because I am naked, and I was ashamed before thy might, my Master.' Alahayim saith to him, 'who showed thee that thou art naked, unless thou hast forsaken my commandment, which I delivered thee to keep it?' Then Adam called to mind the word which I spake to him, saying, 'I will make thee secure before Alahayim'; and he turned and said to me: 'Why hast thou done this?' And I said, 'The serpent deceived me.'
-
Eve still had growing to do at this point by evidence of not taking accountability for what she had chose to do, but rather only sharing the fact that she was deceived as when one still has still weak in the faith, taking full accountability can be a struggle. Thankfully even Eve overcame this by evidence of speaking on her actions to take full accountability of her choices, which showed her growth in truth and good works in sincere repentance;
The Apocalypse of Moses 9
As he said this to his sons, Adam groaned sore and said: "What shall I do? I am in great distress." And Eve wept and said: "My lord Adam, rise up and give me half of thy trouble and I will endure it; for it is on my account that this hath happened to thee, on my account thou art beset with toils and troubles."
-
Lord willing that helps to see, we all can speak truth, taking accountability for our actions in true repentance. Touching back on usurping authority;
The Apocalypse of Moses 23 Then Adam called to mind the word which I spake to him, saying, 'I will make thee secure before Alahayim';
-
(Notice the woman offered to be a covering to the man, which is against Ahayah’s hierarchy. This is why women are not suffered to usurp authority over the man, [I Tim 2:12] since it is unrighteous from the beginning. This is the same spirit of Satan that tempts women to be self-conceited, wanting control, to lead or to dominate their men instead of being meek, humble, willing and obedient to their covering in unity and vulnerability, believing and knowing they have need of his help in life unto to this day. We beseech you dear sisters, let not Satan deceive you with such an endeavor to turn away from simplicity of obedience under Christ.)
The Apocalypse of Moses 24
"Alahayim saith to Adam: 'Since thou hast disregarded my commandment and hast harkened to thy wife, cursed is the earth in thy labors. "Thou shalt work it and it shall not give its strength: thorns and thistles shall spring up for thee, and in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat thy bread. Thou shalt be in manifold toils; thou shalt be crushed by bitterness, but of sweetness shalt thou not taste. " 'Weary shalt thou be and shalt not rest; by heat shalt thou be tired, by cold shalt thou be straitened: abundantly shalt thou busy thyself, but thou shalt not be rich; and thou shalt grow fat, but come to no end." 'The beasts, over whom thou didst rule, shall rise up in rebellion against thee, for thou hast not kept my commandment.'
-
(Adam was in transgression for hearkening to his wife to go against the commandments, so we can understand why it is essential for a wife to be an helpmeet unto her husband exhorting and encouraging him unto righteousness, instead of usurping authority over him or plotting against in craft to cause him to sin. Also take notice that your husband or head of household's sinning is no benefit to you as the punishment given to Adam affects his wife too, as she depended on him to provide food for them, but after causing him to sin, they both are being deprived of the luxuries of food they enjoyed in the Garden.)
The Apocalypse of Moses 25
"And the Lord turned to me and said: 'Since thou hast harkened to the serpent, and turned a deaf ear to my commandment, thou shalt be in throes of travail and intolerable agonies; thou shalt bear children in much trembling, and in one hour thou shalt come to the birth, and lose thy life, from thy sore trouble and anguish. But thou shalt confess and say: "Lord, Lord, save me, and I will turn no more to the sin of the flesh." And on this account, from thine own words I will judge thee, by reason of the enmity which the enemy has planted in thee.'
-
(Wives take good courage not to go against the commands of Ahayah as our mother did seeing it would only cause you and your family harm. We also get understanding as to why a woman will be saved in childbearing {I Tim 2:15.})
Gen 3:16
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
1 Timothy 2:15
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
-
The woman will be saved in childbearing if she repents in the birthing process and walks in faith, charity and holiness with sobriety, maintaining her repentance.
Sir 7:1-2
Doe no evil, so shall no harm come unto thee. 2 Depart from the unjust, and iniquity shall turn away from thee.
The Apocalypse of Moses 27-28
"Thus he spake and bade the angels have us cast out of paradise: and as we were being driven out amid our loud lamentations, your father Adam besought the angels and said: 'Leave me a little space that I may entreat the Lord that he have compassion on me and pity me, for I only have sinned.' And they left off driving him, and Adam cried aloud and wept, saying: 'Pardon me, O Lord, my deed.'
-
Notice Adam's accountability for what he did, showing he truly was repentant, though he still has to go through the afflictions of his soul in well doing to show his repentance to be sincere;
Hermas Parable 7
1[66]:4 "But behold, Sir," say I, "they have repented with their whole heart." "I am quite aware myself," saith he, "that they have repented with their whole heart; well, thinkest thou that the sins of those who repent are forgiven forthwith? Certainly not; but the person who repents must torture his own soul, and must be thoroughly humble in his every action, and be afflicted with all the divers kinds of affliction; and if he endure the afflictions which come upon him, assuredly He who created all things and endowed them with power will be moved with compassion and will bestow some remedy
-
So you see, Adam still had work to do to confirm he truly repented of his deed in the sight of the Creator;
The Apocalypse of Moses 27-28
your father Adam besought the angels and said: 'Leave me a little space that I may entreat the Lord that he have compassion on me and pity me, for I only have sinned.' And they left off driving him, and Adam cried aloud and wept, saying: 'Pardon me, O Lord, my deed.' Then the Lord saith to the angels, 'Why have ye ceased from driving Adam from paradise? Why do ye not cast him out? Is it I who have done wrong? Or is my judgment badly judged?' Then the angels fell down on the ground and worshiped the Lord, saying, 'Thou art just, O Lord, and thou judgest righteous judgment. 28 "But the Lord turned to Adam and said: 'I will not suffer thee henceforward to be in paradise.' And Adam answered and said, 'Grant me, O Lord, of the Tree of Life that I may eat of it, before I be cast out.' The Lord spake to Adam, 'Thou shalt not take of it now, for I have commanded the cherubim with the flaming sword that turneth every way to guard it from thee that thou taste not of it; but thou hast the war which the adversary hath put into thee; yet when thou art gone out of paradise, if thou shouldest keep thyself from all evil, as one about to die, when again the Resurrection hath come to pass, I will raise thee up and then there shall be given to thee the Tree of Life.'
-
So He told Adam of the benefits to come for enduring the trial of showing his repentance so that he may endure with fortitude. (The war put into mankind by the enemy is Lust, which brings forth sin. {Jam 1:14-15} This means we have to war against it within ourselves, not admitting any evil desire with purpose of soul in order to operate in the fruits of the Spirit as our life depends on it. {II Cor 10:3-6;Php 2:12} Women, you have to cleave wholeheartedly to your head, the man who has rule over you, and Yache the Lord, just as your husband has to cleave wholeheartedly for love life unto his head, Lord Yache, and Alahayim. Both men and women need each other's support in this fight. We have been given the simplicity of our Lord's instruction on what we must do to attain the right to eat of the Tree of Life, which is to guard ourselves from all evil as one about to die. May Ahayah be with us through our Lord Yache.)
Jas 1:13-16
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of Alahayim: for Alahayim cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
1 Corinthians 10:14
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
Wisdom of Solomon 14:27
For the worshipping of idols not to be named is the beginning, the cause, and the end, of all evil.
The Apocalypse of Moses 30
"Now then, my children, I have shown you the way in which we were deceived; and do ye guard yourselves from transgressing against the good."
