TNDL: Who was it that caused sin, the fall of humanity and the end of El-ELYON Sovereign rule and the Kingdom of heaven on earth, according to Genesis 2-5?

It was Satan, the red dragon or the Snake man. So, who is to blame? Lucifer, the bearer of the false light, evil men of authority, as Cain defendants or all three? 2 Corinthians 4:4: “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”

In Genesis 2, Satan convinced the first humans to trust in themselves, rather than in God’s wisdom, leading them to break fellowship with their Sovereign Creator. Instead of operating out of respect of God’s sovereignty, man desired to trust in half-truths and personal desire. The consequence of their sin was they had to leave the garden, a symbol of perfect provision by their Sustainer.
