Genesis 3:6-10 Wrote:6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.The words in red. The tree was good for making one wise, and they had new knowledge (knew they were naked and that it was shameful) only after eating the fruit.
Your attempt to go around the obvious by parsing words is sad. Neither does the text say that there eyes were closed prior to eating the fruit, but it is obviously implied in the text. What makes you think their eyes were closed prior to eating the fruit? Oh, I see, it's implied in the text that immediately follows... "Their eyes were opened"... which implies that they were formerly closed, and in this case, to the 'knowledge' of evil that would make them know what shame was and that they should hide in it.
Formerly I would have become frustrated by your type of 'logic' but now I just distance myself from people with disingenuous proclivities. If you fail to read properly, or only backpedal when confronted, then I will not be responding to any more of your posts. Good day.
