Like many others, if someone had asked me what the first sin was, I would have thought of Eve's succumbing to the temptation to eat of the tree.
Well. I had it wrong.
While doing my Bible study today, I was reading a summary (thank you, eSword).
Of course, I went to do a little more digging. I searched out whether "covetousness was the first sin" in the Bible. This was a result that made me sit back and go, "Huh!"

Well, amen. This is why it's so important to not just read the Bible but to dig deeper. I have read Genesis more than I have any other book in the Bible. This is the first time I ever even considered Satan's rebellion as being the first sin.
So, folks, keep reading and re-reading and studying.
