OK Xeno, I will give this a shot- The devil deliberately inspires people to seek knowledge rather than God (in whom, and in relationship to, is Life.
The occult organizations, including the Masons, and various religions are the vehicles to entrap people into this never ending seeking of knowledge.
It is the same ploy he used on A&E.
The JWs left a little booklet on my door once a long time ago, it said (supposedly quoting the New Testament and Jesus' words- "This is eternal life- that they may know about thee..."
All the snake's helpers did was add one single word to totally change the meaning- They added the word "About".
Substituting superficial knowledge instead of vital personal relationship.
Why is god so against knowledge? Has it not occurred to you that perhaps the author was trying to keep the reader from learning that the whole thing was made up?
