Bible Question:
[Gen. 3:5] speaks of good and evil as well as [Gen. 3:22,23]"And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: [Ver.23] Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. How did evil come about? Who was God speaking to? Again, why is he referencing "us"? If he was speaking about the trinity then he just said Man has became a God. ???? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Zerotheory! The text you quoted actually answers your question. Gen. 3:22 does not say that Adam and Eve became gods. It says that they, like God, had come to know good and evil. That is the only point of comparision made in this verse. It does not say that Adam became all powerful, all present, all knowing, or eternal. It only says that, like God, they had come to know good and evil. I hope this helps!
