The bible never says WHY he put them there. But I believe it was for a test. "You can have everything in the garden, except the tree of knowledge of good and evil". They could have everything their hearts desired, everything was perfect, but God made man a free moral agent.If God didn't put that tree there and tell them not to eat of it, then it would be like he was forcing them to serve him, Because everything was good. Gen. 1:1-5:1 | ||||||

The Lords Church I would like to expand a bit on your fine answer: In Romans 5:13 for up to the time of the law, sin was in the world, though sin is not accounted when there is no law. This means that sin, did exist in the world, but until Adam and Eve were specifically told this first single law, don't eat from this tree - they could have eaten a hundred apples from that tree and not be guilty of sin. Because sin is a free-will act of defiance against God. To sin, you must, by your own free decision and action, do something which is an offense to God. Committing the same act, without knowledge that it is an offense to God, is not considered a sin. The opposite of this now is your free-will acceptance of Jesus. God wants us to freely chose Him.
