I hope that this is starting to click a little. Take your mind off of having babies (I can’t believe you lived through having eight!) and the garden and sanctification. Think on “deception”. Now read through this passage thinking how the passage all relates to deception. Keep reading it until it starts making sense. If you leave out deception, the passage cannot make sense as it was inspired to do.

You are right that deception is key.
I’ll meditate upon this some more with that focus.
Your posts are very helpful to me in sorting it out! 🙂
Thanks.
