The Garden Path
The expression "to be led down the garden path" is sometimes used to mean being deceived or misguided. An ancient account of being led down the garden path is found in the Bible story of Eve and the serpent. We need to understand the signposts along this path of deception to avoid it in our own experience.
The Bible states, "The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed." Gen. 2:8; Eve was tempted through the physical senses to partake of a fruit pleasant to the sight and apparently good to eat. This temptation was an invitation to self-indulgence. As a result of yielding to this temptation, Eve and her husband were driven from the Garden of Eden.
