I have been reading Van Til A Defense of the Faith. He made reference to the thought of Hegel, so for further help on Hegel, I turned to Modern Christian Thought from the Enlightenment to Vatican II by James C. Livingston, a very useful book. In it, he addresses Hegel and the Fall and uses a quote from Hegel: "...when God saw that Adam had eaten of that tree he said, 'Behold Adam is becomeas one of us, knowing Good and Evil.' God confirms the words of the Serpent." (p 151, Italics added)
By the simple reading of the text, it does indeed appear that this is the case because that phrase is first spoken by the Serpent and then repeated by God, but God confirmed the words? Hegel or no Hegel, that smells funny.
