Knowledge was being given to Adam and Eve by God. To take of the tree was to get "the knowlege OF good and evil." It was the knowing of good and evil....not the getting of knowledge. It was the discernment of what was good and what was bad. By knowing good from bad, they sinned knowing and not out of ignorance.


if Adam and Eve lack the knowledge of good and evil then what type of knowledge did they have before they took from the fruit ...it could only be the same knowledge that God had given to the other animals that lived in the garden...the knowledge of ignorance

lol there is no such thing as knowledge of ignorance, ignorance is lack there of.

And the knowledge they had in the garden was the knowledge to survive life, eg., getting food, building shelter, and so on. In life there is no need for more knowledge then that.

I think the devils gift was actually EGO. In the story of Adam and Eve, it was Eves ego he worked on by putting her mind in a set to believe she might know as much or more than her God.

The sad part wasnt the knowledge, it was the distrust and disobedience,, brought on by ego.

exactly they weren't punished for anything they gained or didn't gain by eating of the tree. They/us as humans was/are punished for the DISOBEDIENCE of God, not listening to what our father told them/us not to do.

thats my take on it anyway,,,when originally told not to eat from the tree,, there was no issue


there only became a second thought when the serpent convinced her that she was somehow being kept from being an equal to God

it wasn't Ego..Eve wanted to be like God...generally children wish to be like their parents ....but what type of parents would punish their children for wanting to be like them ...

mine did, if they told me not to do something,, even if they did it(because I was not an ADULT ),, it was disrespectful to do it anyway.

as far as wanting to be like God,, I wonder why that became the prevalant thought instead of wanting to PLEASE God....

they didn't just want to be like him in the loving, caring, and all those kind of attributes....... they wanted to be like him in being able to create or destroy anything and everything with a blink of an eye.

disobedience is the knowledge of good and evil ...so explain how Adam and Eve knew that they were disobeying God if they lack that knowledge

doesn't matter if they KNEW they were in the wrong. They still were told not to do as such. So again they were punished for doing what they were told not to do. Has nothing to do with knowing right from wrong. Again they KNEW they weren't suppose to do as such.
