What Really Happened Between Eve And The Serpent In The Garden Of Eden? (Part 2) By for Christians for Truth
Most of the confusion and the deception of Christendom — of Israel — is in the mis-translation or misapplying passages of scripture to say something which they do not say.
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
Here we have a good clue as to the type of beguiling with which the Serpent beguiled Eve. Let me paraphrase that verse without changing the meaning….
Paul, in effect, said, “I fear your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ by methods similar to those used by the Serpent when he beguiled Eve.”

If the Serpent is Satan — and if his method of beguiling women is to seduce them — then why do we have no warning from Paul — or any other — that women should be careful that they are not approached and physically seduced by Satan?
If Satan physically seduced Eve — and threw a monkey wrench in God’s plan — why does he not continue to do the same thing in the same manner?
Are we to understand that Eve was wanton — and that all other women since then are chaste? Eve was apparently seduced or deceived by Satan — does it mean that Satan was never able to seduce another women in scripture or all human history?
Apparently, there was no danger that he would since there is no warning in the New Testament, nowarning in the Old — no warning by the prophets that women should be aware of being physically seduced by Satan.
No, the warning is “Lest your minds be corrupted.” And this, of course, we read very plainly. Paul was referring to the beguiling of Eve when he warned, “Lest your mind be corrupted.” We see the seducing of minds, not the seducing of bodies.
