HERE IS AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION BETWEEN ADAM AND THE DEVIL (And The Major Reasons Why He Was Cast out From Heaven) Apocalypse Of Moses 10.3 When Adam saw her and the Devil with her, he cried out with tears, saying: O Eve, O Eve, where is the work of your penitence? How have you again been seduced by our adversary, through whom we were alienated from the dwelling of paradise and spiritual happiness? 11.1 When Eve heard this, she knew that it was the Devil who had persuaded her to go out from the river and she fell on her face on the ground and her grief was double, as was her wailing and lamented 11.2 She cried out, saying: Woe to you, Devil. For what reason do you fight against us? What concern do you have with us? What have we done to you that you should persecute us so grievously? Why does your malice extend to us? 11.3 Did we ever take your glory from you or cause you to be without honor? Why do you persecute us, O enemy, impiously and jealously unto death? 12.1 Groaning, the Devil said: O Adam, all my enmity, jealousy, and resentment is towards you, since on account of you I was expelled and alienated from my glory, which I had in heaven in the midst of the angels. On account of you I was cast out upon the earth. 12.2 Adam answered: What have I done to you? 12.3 What fault do I have against you? Since you have not been harmed nor injured by us, why do you persecute us? 13.1 The Devil answered: Adam what are you saying to me? On account of you I was cast out from heaven. 13.2 When you were formed, I was cast out from the face of God and was sent forth from the company of the angels. When God blew into you the breath of life and your countenance and likeness were made in the image of God, Michael led you and made you worship in the sight of God. The Lord God then said: Behold, Adam, I have made you in our image and likeness 14.1 Having gone forth Michael called all the angels saying: Worship the image of the Lord God, just as the Lord God has commanded. 14.2 Michael himself worshipped first then he called me and said: Worship the image of God Jehovah. 14.3 I answered: I do not have it within me to worship Adam. When Michael compelled me to worship, I said to him: Why do you compel him who is lower and posterior to me. I am prior to that creature. Before he was made, I had already been made. He ought to worship me. 15.1 Hearing this, other angels who were under me were unwilling to worship him. 15.2 Michael said: Worship the image of God. If you do not worship, the Lord God will grow angry with you. 15.3 said: If he grows angry with me, I will place my seat above the stars of heaven and I will be like the Most High. 16.1 Then the Lord God grew angry with me and sent me forth with my angels from our glory. On account of you we were expelled from our dwelling into this world and cast out upon the earth.. Blessings to All#Shalam..
