Original Message "The Knowledge of Good and Evil" = Discernment of Right and Wrong i.e. CONSCIENCE!

I want to show from Scripture that "the knowledge of good and evil" described in the Bible has nothing to do with personal experience of good and evil, but simply discernment of good and evil.

"The knowledge of good and evil," has a distinct meaning in the Old Testament. It refers to the ability to determine for one's self what is good and evil, what is helpful and harmful. In Genesis 3:5, 22 God has this ability and right. In 1 Kings 3:9 Solomon prays for it so he can rule well. In Deuteronomy 1:39 little children don't have it yet. In 2 Samuel 19:35 senile people have lost it (Note: it is translated "discern between good and evil," but when we look at the Hebrew word behind "discern", it is the very same word as used in Gen 3:5 to mean "knowing" [good and evil]. So, there is no difference between the two.)

So why would God curse humanity for wanting to have a conscience?
