Who was the First Human Philosopher?

^{Genesis 3:6-7, ESV:}  So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.

The first human philosopher

Eve was! Our scripture says she was considering the lies that Satan was telling her. She concluded the fruit of the tree in the midst of the garden was good for food; it looks good even.

She was musing, "I will know both good and evil. I will be like God. Who would not like to be like Him? I will be having my way in all things. It would be heavenly." All these grand things occupied her mind.

She said to herself, "I will share this good thing with my husband. Both of us will be wise. I need to get his side on my plan out of my respect for him." She went to him and told him of her great discovery. Adam was enthralled and he ate of the tree as his deceived wife wanted him. He loved more the life his wife is leading him into than what God has given.

How's is it now?

Now this scene repeats itself so many, many times over since. Every husband or wife makes philosophy their craft. And like Adam and Eve couples are falling into troubles and fears most of the time. For as the Bible says it very well, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death." Proverbs 14:12, ESV

Until a man or woman has been freed from being captive of the devil's lies, they will have their whole philosophy of life wrong.

How is it to be?

We need to get back to how God wants us to do things. We need to come near to Christ, His Son, that we might have the life God wants for us. We need to read His Word, which is the testimony of Christ through men he appointed to speak of and for Him. Paul speaks of us to be joined with Christ. This way we become partakers of the divine nature, which will enable us to overcome the corruption in this passing world.

We need to get know the truth to be the light along our journey; the lamp to bring us to the right direction toward the life God wants us to have; and not what the devil forces us to take through his deceptive lies.

Christ Death and Resurrection

His death and resurrection are our own too. His word says so.We only have to admit we are sinners and need God's gift of forgiveness through Christ. Through Him we have life, in the present life and in eternity.
