We live in a 'fallen' world according to the Bible. Mankind lost his/her place with God in the Garden of Eden. We lost our true Identity when Adam disobeyed God and ate of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The result of that act is that we are left a fallen creation... in a fallen world creation. In my new book, 'Phishers of Men' set to be release in June or July of 2011, I refer to that event in which all of creation was doomed to eternal death and separation from God as 'Ultimate Original Identity Theft'. Sadly, we gave up our Identity as God's children to a serpent, 'Satan', in the Garden of Eden.
In today's fallen world, Identity Theft has been taken to a whole new level. We are constantly reminded of the need to protect our identity. Thieves steal a person's identity when they obtain a person's personal information and pose as that person in order to steal. To obtain a victim's personal information, thieves use a process that is referred to as 'Phishing'. Whether our identity is stolen by bullies that try to label us, or by thieves that use the internet or other means to steal from us (Phishing), we need to understand that we, followers of Christ, are in a spiritual battle. Jesus invites all that will follow Him to be 'Fishers of Men'.
