Do you subscribe to the idea that Lucifer tells nine truths in order to slip in the one falsehood?
If Satan told Adam to clothe himself why did Jehovah not tell Adam to remove the fig leaves?
Thanks....

1. Can? I don't know. But since he is the "liar", it's instructive to examine everything he says as if it was a lie.
2. Don't know. However, maybe part of the brilliance of satan is that we would consider anything coming out the liar's mouth as true.
3. Don't know. However, it's possible that Jehovah knew is was a necessary step for Adam to thrash about in life under the illusions of the fig leaves, and so he lets him/us.
On a more general note, I think it's interesting to think of Lucifer as a principal (as opposed to mean guy with a goatee), who has momentarily taken residence in our minds and feeds us all kinds of lies, and constantly telling us we are naked and in need of some kind of clothing.
