Numerical Expositions: Genesis 3:3

But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

-- Gen. 3:3 (KJV)

Eve responds back to the serpent by saying that God commanded not to eat nor to touch the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.  However, the command from God was to not eat of the tree.

Remember what God says because we will be tested upon the commands He gave to us.  It's up to you to read the Bible.  Never add or subtract from what God has commanded.

One of the biggest obstacles that hinders faith is religion because religion adds unnecessary rules and regulations to God's commands.  God does not command for women to cover themselves in potato sacks out in public or to only wear dresses at church.  God does not command for church services to last three to four hours every week.  Eliminate tradition from your life so that you will not be your own worst enemy.

Numerical Analysis:  The numerical pattern for this verse is 3,6.  (3) To stay in the Spirit, recognize the positioning of everything.  (6) To expose evil, remember what God has said.
