Bible Question: Do you think Adam and Eve would have received the "knowledge of good and evil" if they had obeyed God and had not eaten of the forbidden tree? |
Bible Answer: Hi Hana, The answer to your question would require speculation since scripture is silent. However, we know what the serpent told them in 3:5 was a lie, "For God knows... you will be like God." Remember what God told them in Gen 2:17, "but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die." They were specifically told (commanded) by God NOT to eat of the tree of knowledge. So, the obvious answer is what God promised, that they would would die. If you recall, Rom. 6:23 states, "the wages of sin is death..." I hope this helps, BradK |
