  Im not sure
  
  Genesis 3
  22 And Jehovah God went on to say: “Here the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad, and now in order that he may not put his hand out and actually take [fruit] also from the tree of life and eat and live to time indefinite,—” 23 With that Jehovah God put him out of the garden of E´den to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken.
  
  The way i understand it is adam could have went on happy in the garden without knowing the concept of right or wrong but once eating the fruit his eyes opened and then he was able to make a choice.
  
  In Gen 3:10 would suggest that adam and eve before eating the fruit had innocence much like a child does.
  
  I remember how different life felt as child till i grew up and my eyes opened to the reality of life.

  Because God was furnishing everything. Total and complete dependence on Himself, God was the state of Adam and Eve and it was perfect. Without a life line from God, human minds discerning what is right or what is wrong lead to unthinkable acts...mainly destruction for the sake of power...later facing his mortality.

  Hi friends
  
  Genesis is not written by Moses; it is written by many anonymous scribes. The original Word of Revelation in the text of original Revelation is lost; translations create confusion. Instead of Bible it should be understood from Quran which is secure and protected in the original Arabic; from there it should be understood.
  
  Thanks

  First, it wasn't the tree of knowledge. It was tree of [the] knowledge of good [and] evil. The human mind had everything born into it, perfectly. Eating of the tree of knowing the difference between both caused humans to become slaves to their own thoughts, when previously, they were superior to them. In short, they did not need to know.
  
  Eating would cause them to lose their rightful place as united heaven & earth entities and be the only [complete/perfct] universal expression of Creator.
  
  Having chosen to indulge, humans lost their free will and became slaves to choice. Thus, removing them from the 'Garden' so as not not eat of the Tree of [Eternal] Life --resulting in never ending slavery to themselves.

  Interesting....
  
  I also find it a sad way of thinking, so as to support your reasoning of a creator.
  
  Because, it even defeats what the bible says about god giving free will to humans, so as to make choices. Which supposedly is how they can choose or not choose to believe in god/him/her/it.
  
  If a person doesn't have free will, then they do not think for themselves, and would be still connected to nature. Also meaning, that they would have no consciousness(awareness of life).
  
  Sorry, must disagree. But then again, I also disagree with a god/creator. As you already know....

  Twenty One Daysposted 14 years agoin reply to this
  Precisely the problem. This is choice. Free will does not need, want, indulge itself, is not self seeking, careful or careless, full of concern, does not doubt, knows all things it needs to, is ever constant and complete, peaceful, abounds with every kind of happiness. Choice is the opposite of them all. Needing to choose IS a total lack of Free Will and is a total consciousness of self -- that self's necessity/limitation. (see all of human history).

  Hey Twenty One Days,
  
  Free will means free thinking ability. It is inherent to having consciousness(awareness of life).
  
  Free will allows for a choice to be made. These two things are not opposites as you claim. One allows the other to exist.
  
  Choice cannot be made if there is no free will. Your interpretation of free will is completely whacked.
  
  Choice does not exist if Free will does not exist.
  
  This is utter nonsense. Your so called "critical" thinking skills have lapse you into delusions.

  Twenty One Daysposted 14 years agoin reply to this
  -duh. Free Will does not NEED choice. Choice needs Free Will. Without free will you would have no choice. But indulgance of choice is the problem and ignoring free will itself.
  
  -I see, so your definition and lack of understanding lead you to express a personal statement about me, knowing nothing about me. Selfish much? Dear me, Ray. PS, "whacked" is that a technical term?
  
  Oh look a second round of I can't comprehend so I'll resort to belittling?
  
  Nonetheless, here is a brownie button, for effort- in joining the good school boys.

  Indulgence of choice is the problem? That is pathetic sounding, just like the delusional aspects of a creator. Ignoring freewill itself? You cannot ignore free will.
  
  No knowing anything about you? LOL! You're a riot. I know more about than I care, simply because you refuse to keep your mouth shut. WOW! Your individual activity speaks volume, and yes if you care to, you can say the same for me, however, at least people understand what I say, unlike you.
  
  And, actually, to be quite honest, I'm not selfish at all, and it's a pretty pathetic attempt to make me look that way.
  
  If you find that belittling, you most certainly have an ego problem dude. Get over yourself.
  This statement shows exactly my point about getting over yourself. Your too arrogant to even see past your own ego to learn anything new. So good day!

  This is one of the simplest concepts in Scripture. If one does not know good from evil, one can not be judged. One is totally innocent and can not be held responsible for their actions.
  
  It is a very great burden to know good from evil and have the choice of free will; to chose to do good or evil. So we can be judged on our actions; because we know.

  It's the tree of knowledge of right and wrong. If Adam and Eve had continued in the Garden, and not have eaten the fruit, than God would have remained their first and only love, and their provider. For them wanting to know what is right or what is wrong would have placed them as Gods.
  
  The simple example is liken unto juveniles wanting to tell their parents what is right or wrong or knowing right and wrong as does their parents.

If for example, the legal and religious industries create situations that lead to people committing crimes or sins to survive or partially due to environmental factors, that are well known, ... and then those well educated, well fed and well holidayed knowledgeable souls, sentence these less educated, less able to survive mortals to prison or to pay fines that are beyond their incomes reach... Who then is the sinner? Who then is the evil one? Who is gods child and who is the devil? Which is the greater crime, to pay your childrens private school fees and overseas trips from the proceeds of defending crimes that could be prevented with good social policy or improved well being?

Or is society manipulated to create this disparity to maintain images of good and evil? To suit whom?

I think in context of the story (not that adam and eve were actual living and breathing people, with 2 sons who married women not their mother and who didn't actually exist or were in fact never in the garden in the first place and thus did not carry the act of first sin, but I digress) God had every intention of Adam and Eve eating the fruit. If I don't want for say kids to play with knives I put them high up and out of sight, I don't make a big point about play with every thing else but this! I try to protect them from dangerous things and not leave them out to be tempted by. If you want someone to freely choose something the best way is to forbid it then leave it out in plain sight and kinda pretend to look away. If this tree were really dangerous for man and not to be eaten it would be wiser for a supposedly wise god to place it atop a high cliff, surrounded by poisonous thorns and maybe surrounded by a river of deadly piranha. The one I feel sorry for is the poor serpent, trying to stir up some mischief and gain allies, winds up doing gods work for him then punished for his efforts! Poor snake

  You think God is just a concept. Then try to conceptualize the tree of knowledge. I'll give you a hint, the tree is not a tree.

  Quark, seems even brotheryochanan is way beyond mono or duo or even trio theistic scripture now. Perhaps, just perhaps, you conscious-ites should do a bit of catching up, else just to a bit --horse or comedy, really doesn't matter, so long as you're at the very least, entertaining. Else, your won't get to play the part you soooooo long to play.

  Brother you just earned a place on my list of those who provide nothing of value and, ergo, must be ignored as being unworthy of serious consideration in ref. to responses.
  I must TY tho for at least offering an effort, inane as it is.

Boy, you guys tag team really well, you remind me of a piranha pool surging forward if you sniff the slightest hint of blood.

Pathetic, al you do is make believers stronger in their faith, by showing them your alternative.

An unappealing concept that life is ALL their is, and then oblivion, a life where there is no more significance attached to the human condition than to an earthworm.... and then you choose to spend your meagre little existences trying to goad believers into fruitless discussions that you only enter in order to hijack the thread and turn it into nonsense acerbity and juvenile insults....

I realise that belief is something that you cannot fathom, but really, practise the 'free thinking' that you aspire to and let believers have their discussions without all this inanity.

Go chase folk in the political forums or in the atheist forums (are there any?) and get a life, it's the only one you think you have, why waste it?

  That is not going to happen as long as this system seems to be working.
  They do not want normal converstaion between believers to ocur. BECAUSE .... or should I say ,,,However
  
  If it wern't for defending the faith debates, most of the conversation in this forum would turn into a mutual apreciation club and/or (BAA) Bash the Atheist Association.
  
  Can we discuss issues of any signifigance that does not do that? Who is actually drawing the line in the sand?

I agree, a test. We have to consider the possibility that God was simply curious about what would happen. Its not that hard to imagine a God that amuses himself. Perhaps it was just a great cosmic joke. If we question the workings of God,(and this has been done in the past)“Shall the thing formed say to Him that formed it, why hast Thou made me thus?” we ignore the fact that God gives us choice, wheather we believe it or not. So although Adam and Eve were given the choice, God didn't wish the sins of the world to fall on them. The key word is choice.

Wonder why knowledge was forbidden for them. All religions support the seeking of knowledge. Perhaps Adam and Eve were supposed to gain knowledge via several lifespans of experience and not just "buy" it off a bite!

... there are those forum hubbers whom you must just ignore because they have a history of never offering anything credible or of value. My last responder falls into that category and has, long ago earned a spot on my list of "The Incredibles." Never to be considered. No offense intended just using my constitutional right for "free speech." lol...:-)

  Qwarks bio:
  Each day that I live, I realize, more and more that I am a "misfit."
  I am hearing that lol
  
  There are few, if any, people who understand any part of the philosophies formulated by me which, right or wrong,
  you don't even know if you are right or wrong.. nice philosophy again Got no God inspired book to read
  
  answer, to my great disappointment, the reason ..
  The possiblity of immortality, at this stage of their evolution does not exist.
  
  Genesis 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
  Genesis 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
  My immortality question is answered. I am very disappointed yours is not but then again you could be wrong..
  Actually quark, u's come after q's not w's, i am done with you, your philosophies and your possible wrongness.
  Have a nice day.
  psss get a bible This reply is serious just so you know and you don't have to guess cuz you might be wrong or right.

I am eventually coming to the conclusion that religion really is a mental illness.

The big booming ego voice thingy, the certainty of getting all the cookies in the end, the wishing to die to get to the 'glory' and wishing us all dead with them at the same time. The desire to kill anyone else talking the same god stuff that does not fit their version of god stuff.

Has anyone studied the religious brain to see what chunk is missing from the reason side and what bit is extra on the ego side ?
