(Genesis 1:31) Good News Translation

So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
(Ezekiel 38:20) KJV

O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge—by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

(Genesis 3:1) ESV
We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) refute the widely held belief that Satan was in the garden of Eden and that he brought about the fall of man. It fails to take into account the relationship between cause and effect.
