1 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | Immanuelsown | 208208 | ||
humbled, In the giving of the command to Adam, not to eat of the fruit, God set the stage, for sin to come into the world Is the Knowledge of Good, and Evil, the same as Sinning? It appears as though the command, gives you the right to choose. The right to choose, can bring Sin. But Sin, or Sinning, isn't the same as the knowledge of good, and evil So there arises a question, "did Adam, and Eve die, because of Sin, or from obtaining the knowledge?" Sin, and Death came into the world, then passed on to us, for the breaking of the Command. (LAW) Rom. 7:14 14) For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. Everything having to do with the knowledge of good and evil is future, (Choice) The knowledge of Good, and Evil, opens up to mankind, all sorts of sins Jesus told us, Matt. 6:34 34) Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Jer. 27:9 9) Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: Rom. 7:8,9 8) But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. 9) For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. Sin comes from the breaking of the Law, Jas. 1:13,14 13) Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14) But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15) Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

2 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | srbaegon | 208234 | ||
Hello Immanuelsown, You asked if the knowledge of good and evil was the same as sinning. Of course, the answer is no. Implicit in the concept of wisdom is the ability to know right from wrong/good from evil. For wisdom to be attained, there must be the ability to differentiate between them. God never forbade Adam and Eve the ability to know good and evil. He forbade them to do it on their own terms--by eating the fruit. As for your statement: "The knowledge of Good, and Evil, opens up to mankind, all sorts of sins." That is not a necessary consequent. You assume it was always true because men are now sinners.

Good points, brother Steve. John Calvin, discussing the same sort of issue, saying that much error arises when men "mistakenly confuse two very diverse states of man." He used an apt metaphor when he said it was like seeking "a whole building in a ruin, and a well knit structure in scattered fragments." In Him, Doc |
