Or is it just an opinion.
Genesis 2
16 The LORD God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely;
17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die."
It's not an opinion, its spelled out in the Bible. You'd have to read the Bible cover to cover to even begin to grasp what the Lord is trying to convey in his Love letter to His Creation (mankind). Even then most will not be able to see it for themselves, unless they humble themselves before God and ask for wisdom.
So no not my opinion in the least. It comes from Gods wisdom which He gives to those that ask.
