Subject: Did Adam / Eve know the meaning of evil |
Bible Note: Hi Doc, The fact that our first parents sinned and what they knew, as a result, shows something in a verse that I am not all that sure about. Genesis 3:22 (NASB) Then the Lord God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever"— The words, like one of Us; would that be the same as saying as God, being one in essence, knowing the difference between good and evil? I don’t see how it could possible mean one, as only one of the members of the trinity, because the same exact nature of God is present in all three members, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and all three are equal in knowledge. Just out of curiosity, which one of the members of the trinity do "you" suppose said that? Incidentally, this is by no means a trick question by any stretch of the imagination, I have just never thought about it, CDBJ |
