Genesis 3:2-3
And the woman said to the serpent, “We may
eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat
of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you
touch it, lest you die.’”
God never told Eve that she could not touch
the tree. Eve added that. But when we defend God by adding to His instruction, we actually take away from His authority. It's called subtraction by addition. We give the serpent
a crack in the seal into which he inserts some dirt into an otherwise pure environment.
