NASB | Genesis 2:9 Out of the ground the LORD God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 2:9 And [in that garden] the LORD God caused to grow from the ground every tree that is desirable and pleasing to the sight and good (suitable, pleasant) for food; the tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the [experiential] knowledge (recognition) of [the difference between] good and evil. [Rev 2:7; 22:14, 19] |
Subject: was Gods intention to eat forbid. fruit |
Bible Note: BILL, HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT GOD INTENDED FOR HUMANS TO EAT FROM THE TREE IF HE KNEW THAT THEY WERE GOING TO ANYWAY? THIS TO ME WOULD BE LIKE A DOUBLE NEGATIVE. BECAUSE IF HE DID NOT INTEND FOR HUMANS TO EAT FROM THE TREE HE SHOULD HAVE NEVER PUT IT IN THE GARDEN. IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN MORE OF A TEST OF OBIEDENCE. CHERRIE |
