Well obviously not otherwise he wouldn't of forbidden the eating of the apple in the first place and even if this was the case according to you its an act of evil. Unless of course you're saying hes changed his stance on the matter. At that point I would have to ask how an omnipotent being that already knows everything about everything throughout eternity would change his stance about anything.
You could also be saying thats hes gone "Oh well, they've done it now. Might as well finish what they started." but again, he must of known all of this millennia in advance and this would make your morality interchangeable on Gods whim. How do you determine Gods whim? Based on this circumstance the whole Bible could be completely outdated, maybe hes re-evaluated everything. I mean the whole idea is filled with so many holes its absurd.
If hes all knowing and has been for all time and would already have come to his decisions about everything then no mind-changing is required. If we ignore that then this entails his morale views are subject to change at a moments notice which would make it an immensely bad idea to assert certainty about the morality of any action.
Which is it?

For someone who claimed (key word claimed) you know little if any thing about God and His scriptures. Adam and eve sinned because they disobeyed God, God made it clear there would be consequences to this action and there was. God has never changed His mind, and God needs not to prove things to Himself, He is proving to creation that God is absolutely righteous and just.
Read the Bible cover to cover so yeah, I know a fair bit about your religion. I would appreciate it if everytime I came up with a good point that makes you look horribly misinformed you'd stop blaming it, somewhat predictably, on *my* lack of knowledge. It doesn't logically follow and it only serves to make you look rather childish.

Now to point out the obvious. God is omnipotent, therefore he knows how everythings going to turn out. He knew they'd take the apple.
What was the point in putting it there in the first place?
And before you say it was a test, it was a test he already knew the results to so that doesn't explain anything.

Also you said that he wanted us to follow in his footsteps, wouldn't alot of those footsteps require us to have knowledge of good and evil? But then he says he doesn't want Adam and Eve to obtain this knowledge so assuming he doesn't change his mind either you're lying, hes lying or hes purposely setting an impossible task. Which is it?
