Tithes & Alms

 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 simplicity of Christ is what the Devil, through envy, is seeking to cast all women away from, from the beginning unto this day in their minds.​

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.

• The Simplicity of Christ for the women by the admonitions of the Apostles is as follows, so women can know what the serpent is seeking to beguile them from in their minds:

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.

• "Desire" refers to a strong longing or craving for something that brings satisfaction or enjoyment. So, wives are to be desirous to serve their husbands and that should be their enjoyment bringing them satisfaction being under obedience to the Spirit of Christ Yache, not to be grieved to serve their husband in unwillingness and disobedience. 

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.

• Younger women have to learn to be a person who advises her children, especially in matters of behavior or belief under the authority of her husband.

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.

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. 

​

Definitions:

• ​Meek-quiet, gentle, and easily imposed on; submissive.

• Quiet-carried out discreetly, secretly, or with moderation.

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;... Let us guide our women toward that which is good: 7 let them show forth their lovely disposition of purity; 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.

​​

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.

• 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 in subjection to him and in her adulthood in subjection to her husband; 

4Macc 18:4-6

4. 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;

​

The Simplicity for Aged Women:

Tit 2:3  

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness,...

• The behaviors that becometh 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."

​

The Simplicity for Widows:

• Ages 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 regards 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, 3

1 Knowing then that Alahayim is not mocked, we ought to walk worthily of His

commandment and His glory. 3...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.'

• 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 of Ahayah in humility brings praise and being clothed in the good works of the fear of Ahayah is what a woman is to be adorned in:

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, husband, or brother) 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.

​

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

• In the beginning, the devil was cast out for his disobedience to Alahayim out of his envy and hatred: ​

Lives of Adam and Eve Chapter 13-16

The devil replied, "Adam, what dost thou tell me? It is for thy sake that I have been hurled from that place. 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." 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." 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. 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."

Testament of Gad 4:1-2, 4

1 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.

• The Devil sinned against Alahayim and the Lord Yache not keeping their commandment to worship Adam as Angels, though greater in strength and power, were to operate in humility to serve the lesser creation, Man, putting on the yoke of Christ their Lord.

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,

• In the world, the Devil devises against Man to cause us to sin in his desire to get us, whom he was supposed to serve in the beginning in obedience to our Master Yache the Lord, and our Lord Yache himself if he could, 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. 

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.

• This helps understand the hatred and envy the Devil operates in from seeing how he felt about Adam and spake to him and devised by cheating his wife to get him cast out.

Lives of Adam and Eve Chapter 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

15. 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. 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. 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 deciet, she became a vessel to Satan and he spake through her to deceive her husband. 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 establishing one's own law of whats 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; 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. The beginning of sin to go down this harmful path to the bringing down 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] and 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. 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 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 Chapter 14

Thus spake the angel and departed from them. And Seth and Eve came to the hut where Adam was laid. 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 Chapter 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 as the righteous do as an example of a believer.[Sir 4:26-27] ​

​

The Apocalypse of Moses Chapter 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 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 by evidence of hearkening to idols being willing to entertain the Devil's word 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 in delight which is what Wrath does by a word {Test of Dan 4:1-4}   to cause him to yield and force him to be persuaded by his 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, 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 (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 they would all get cast out of paradise and the serpent still wouldn't get to eat of the fruit of paradise as he desired. 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 ears as an evil thought can take root in our heart through words, whether from us or outside of us, and entice us or 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 Chapter 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 mirror 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 its portion. [Acts of Thomas 27]

​

The Apocalypse of Moses Chapter 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 [Test of Reuben 4:6] unto idols persuading her to see things than what Alahayim said. [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. 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 over to the vexation of wrath (which works with Lying) desiring that which is perishable [Test of Dan 4] and Hatred (which constantly mates with Lying) [Test of Gad 5:1] to work lawlessness [Test of Gad 4:1] (Wrath aiding in this) [Test of Dan 3:5] and sin against Alahayim. More idols are coming into the picture unawares to her at this point, yet she isn't aware of whats going on as Fornication deceives the mind and understanding [Test of Reuben 4:6] 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 to to be put to shame, [Acts of Thomas 27]  and Wickedness operates in the fear being very timorous because the conscience is weighing on her [Wis of Solomon 17:11-12] so her fear she is about to say she is experiencing isn't the fear of the Lord that would help her come out of the temptation: [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. 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 being content with it and fear Him with reverence to keep His commandments. With Eve, her desire to try the fruit has made her vulnerable.

​

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.' Yet I feared to take of the fruit. And he saith to me: 'Come hither, and I will give it thee. Follow me.'

• She was devalued being criticized like she wasn't doing right by not eating very 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 his lead and listen to him. He tempted her to hearken to him with the desire of the eyes by encouraging her to look at the tree and with power 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. 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 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, selfwill 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. Your war is not against your father, brother, husband, or which ever ministering man's care Alahayim has placed you under in the Church,  but in truth you're being tempted against Alahayim within yourself. Understand 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. 

The Apocalypse of Moses Chapter 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 Devil, he brought her further into iniquity by withholding the thing he caused her to lust after. May we learn from our mother and give the Devil no place in our hearts to any of the lusts of the flesh, for we are shown here that what he offers 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. This helps understand 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 they have pleasure in giving their minds over to the indulgence of. [Hermas Parable 6] Knowing the attack on the household, as one, we are encouraged to work together through faith to stand aloof from the enemy through the fruits of the Spirit.)
