God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
And

garden: But
of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die
.

Eve ADDED TO God’s Command
What God actually said –
“Of every tree of the garden thou
mayest
freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou
eatest
thereof thou shalt surely die
.

hath said, ‘Ye shall not eat of it,
neither shall ye touch
it
, lest
ye die.

Jesus upbraided Religious People
Howbeit
in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
For

And
he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own
tradition.
Mark 7:7-9Slide18

Prediction of Peter’s Martydom
Verily
, verily, I say unto thee, When thou
wast
young, thou
girdest
thyself, and
walkedst
whither thou
wouldest
: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou
wouldest
not.
This
spake
he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he
saith
unto him, Follow
me.
John 21:18-19Slide25
Jesus knew He would be Misunderstood
(Peter asked) “What
shall this
man (John)
do
?”
Jesus
saith
unto him,
“If
I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me
.”
Then
went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but,
If I will that he tarry
till I come, what is that to thee
?
John 21:21-23Slide26
