Eve repeated what god said about dying, but it's clear she had not concept of death. Why would she think something that would kill her is useful for food and would make her wise?
Would you agree that Adam knew that God told him not to do it and that he did it anyway?
Quote:They wanted knowledge. Not until they ate the fruit and gained that knowledge did they understand that it was evil. Adam hid himself, not because he had eaten the fruit, but because he KNEW that he was naked. The church still sees knowlege as evil. But my dear, you have come to a website where we object. Knowledge is good and a parent who wants his children to stay ignorant is evil.
I don't mind you objecting. That's why I'm here. Why do you think that the church sees knowledge as evil? Show me from the bible because that's where our doctrine comes from.
Quote:Maybe the tree was there because god didn't really want them to remain ignorant. I'm a writer. Sometimes my characters refuse to do what I tell them to do. They want to do what they want to do. But that's how I know I've created realistic characters.
Reverse psychology.
