Why Wouldn't God Want Adam and Eve to Have Knowledge of Good and Evil?

Knowledge is not a sin. Disobedience to God is the sin, He told them not to take from the tree, and they did. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.

Answer:

Take a look around you.

That is why.

sorry i am ignorant to this thats why i am asking.
but did god tell them not to take the apple because it was the fruit of knowledge?
why didnt god want them to have it?
thanks for the feedback by the way.

isnt knowledge good?

Wisdom is what u should seek

Evil doesn't deserve a thought if you can stay divided from it.

We must watch our backs Evil is amongst us now.

Bless without fear worry's bills relationships work problems etc is very difficult.

Good state of mind towards the blue good energy needs to be clear of evil thought.

i do try and seek it but i just want to understand.
from my point of view it seems like god told them not to take the apple.
and they should of just listened.
but at the same time.
why would you not want knowledge?
thanks for the feedback.

Wisdom is the application of knowledge.

Knowledge is good, if it is used accordingly. Think of ALL the wonderful knowledge that is NOT allowed.

Sadly, the knowledge of evil is more prominent and used by the Torahless elite. Think about ALL the greed, wars, murders, etc.

The Torah was given to direct us into what is right, thus the 10 Words, etc.

but why is knowledge evil?
i could understand if it was lies.
but why is knowledge evil?
thanks for the feedback.

(KJV)Luke 12:48
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes . For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.


KJV)2 Peter 2:20-21
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. [21] For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it , to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.



You aren't understanding what you read. What Father said was;

(KJV)Genesis 2:16-17
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: [17] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Key word being "evil''. Adam and Eve only knew good (had knowledge of) beforehand. When they knew evil, they died spiritually. A bridge was made between God and man. Your question is now answered. Glory be to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

(KJV)Isaiah 59:2
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.


Let's us an analogy. A little child receives a warning by a parent. The parent tells the child to not do something, because it is bad. The child not knowing that bad thing beforehand, asserts their free will to do that which was bad. Of course, the child must face the consequences of their actions. Which is why Father said;



Look at the Scriptures above your quote. I'm on my mobile device and this site sometimes isn't fond of pasting.

His plans are more complex. He couldv'e easily stopped it but he chose not to for a bigger reason. The sinful nature is the animal like nature. Everything that animals do we do after the disobedience of Adam and Eve. As well as not obeying him.

buy why is wanting to learn a sin?

thanks alot for that.
it really did answer my question.
thanks again.

THREAD CLOSED

Thank Father, not I.

Because thats why we are here. To learn the difference. We were given free will to do with as we please. BUT

When our numbers up we all will have to give a full accounting of our behavior. Your soul is in your own keep and yours alone. What you do with the time your given is up to you. Jesus died for your sins so you could sin. Lifes the trip. When you die you either move up the ladder or down it till you get it. Then and only then will you be truly free. You won't have to keep coming back anymore.

Maya - the illusion of good and evil.
He was trying to save them the long strange trip.
They were only kicked out of the garden when they hid and lied. The illusion of guilt condemned them - not God.
?

God did not want adams and eves to eat of the tree of knowledge because they did not want them to realize that they were bred for slavery.

This is still true today.

It's a metaphor for Christ's sake.

Because the god of the garden of Eden wasn't the true God! The true God wants mankind to come to the knowledge of the truth! The god of he garden didn't want mankind to be like him whereas the True God wants mankind to be One IN Him!

You are spot on. My post should have read "gods" in the plural.

Stuff like that is how you know the whole thing is a crock. The tower of babel is the same sort of crap. Why wouldn't God want us to advance? In Genesis, he shortened our lives, for goodness sakes.
The tribe wrote a drama and people believed the lie. The real God can't be like the one the tribe describes. It's just senseless. They make God out to be a bad person.

The day Adam and Eve took a bite.

Life went from this wonderful deep meaning happy fun place.

To a Mad TV skit.

That's why the knowledge of Good and Evil is bad.

Life became a Joke and a cruel one at that.

Because He (God) knew it would bring about sin and sin would bring about suffering & death.

Look around you; What do you see in this world today?
That's why!

Does the Spanish Inquisitions ring a bell. Mans crualty to man in the name of religion. I personally believe that GOD hates organised religion due to the fact that hardly any of them have room for GOD in their man made rituals. A few follow His rules so Keep God and His word in your heart and ask HIM to lead you to true faith, fellowship and knowledge and wisdom thru Jesus.

These replies are all WRONG. They obviously don't have wisdom in GOD.


The reason GOD punished Man for eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, actually had nothing to do with knowledge, good, OR evil. It was because Man was supposed to be on a STRICT, low calorie diet. The woman, Eve, craved some badass fruit from this tree, and once they started eating it, they couldn't stop.

They got fat ass hell, and all they would do was eat this one fruit, from this tree, so God punished them.

the story of adam and eve is the story of man descending to the realm of duality the 3rd dimension choosing to experience this reality in its fullest with no limitations, a vacation or a nightmare.

the knowledge of good and evil was the knowledge to kill to eat vs eating what God had told them to eat,
