Your gospel is hardly the same as what Paul preached as the Holy Spirit revealed it, but is the SAME accursed message that began back in Eden when Satan questioned the word of God and convinced man that he could be "like God".

That does not make sense. How could it be the SAME accursed message that began back in Eden when that message was to not obey God ? Do you deny God gave Moses the Torah and the Scripture we have is the same Torah ? Do you deny the LORD Jesus Christ kept that Torah completely and said this Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. ?

A woman being deceived, wilfulling breaking God's command and convincing a man to do the same, would be exactly like the SAME accursed message that began back in Eden.

To me, a real test of what you just claimed about another Gospel with respect to Genesis 2 and 3, is what you say about these commandments, which definitely trace back to Genesis 2 and 3.

Let me explain it for you. The devil fooled Eve into disobeying God by promising that she and Adam, “would be as gods”. In other words, you don't NEED to do what God says, you can do it all yourself. This is the same thing as what some here are claiming - that we can be righteous by our deeds, righteous enough that the sacrifice of Christ only “helps” but cannot completely save us unless we also DO, DO, DO. Catholicism says the same thing. It is why the “good news” of salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone to the glory of God alone is rejected by those who depend more on their OWN merit to deserve salvation.
