Who First Claimed Humans Could Never Die? Explore the biblical origin of the statement, "You will not surely die," and examine what Scripture teaches about life, death, and immortality. Was this the first lie ever told? Watch this short clip and consider the evidence for yourself.
TRANSCRIPT
The true originator of the immortality of the soul idea was, before the Greeks, the Egyptians and the Tower of Babel. Genesis 3, starting in verse 1:
"Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, 'Has God indeed said, "You shall not eat of every tree of the garden"?'
And the woman said to the serpent, 'We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, but the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden God has said, "You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die."'
Then the serpent said to the woman, 'You will not surely die.'
So the first lie had to do with teaching Eve, telling Eve she was immortal."
