why god didnt wanted adam and eve to have fruit from tree of knowledge
except for 21 who with his superior knowledge of isms is above all that.
you have the same knowledge, dear Earnest, everyone does.
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....
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).
-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!
why god didn't want adam and eve to have fruit from tree of knowledge (path of understanding between) good and evil.
obviously, it let sin in. sheeesh

I have another 7,921 about the Quoran.
Nah! He has never answered a single question with other than his usual cop outs.
LOL Because that god is a greedy bastard, that's why!
But, this is one of the few pieces of the babble that sustains a cross-reference check with other religions, hinting on the duality as a cornerstone of this world.- klarawieckposted 12 years ago0
because it was a part of a low-carb diet only reserved for God.
Yeah thats why we have decided to disobey him further so the experiment can reach its ultimate success!!!!!!!!!!
why god didnt wanted adam and eve to have fruit from tree of knowledge?
...May be God was out of food & that was his last piece!-
Now that is funny! God I needed a laugh! - ...well isn't the maker dumb enough to make such species at first place
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
Didn't he get his legs ripped off in a similar fashion to spiders and little boys? Maybe thats just what I imagine when I visualize the story in my mind
ROFL I think your on to something! I think I have their number here somewhere......

Good to share a laugh with you mate
It seems unwise to me to take anything with such seriousness that one cannot share a good laugh with another (chances are at least one party needs it).I have not been active here for some time as I have been perusing art for my online store, holidaying and more. It's good to come in for a break and have a good laugh, tho I probably should be promoting my store or adding new products or something... oh well.
I am actually about to go on another holiday soon, camping in Tun Bridge Wells. I just finished a camping holiday up in the Peak District that was totally awsome! I actually have some ideas for hubs from it that are in progress in and around everything else. They may not go live until things settle down tho and I can do more then pick photo's for em and have a play with keyword titles. With autumn fast approaching I expect things will really pick up online for me. I really do hope that that happens so that by next summer I have so much going online that the slump of folks going out into the real world instead of staying online doesn't hurt earnings
@kirstenblog
then adam blames eve..no wonder we man have not changed a bit..all the best for ur holiday...enjoy...- brotheryochananposted 12 years ago0
it makes perfect sense. Perhaps someday you will be able to understand it.
You are all clearly in a forum that is 'over your head' pun intended
good luckIf it is a contradiction of simple logic today, it will remain so tomorrow, too. And, stating emphatically that it makes perfect sense without explaining your position is not an argument.
Hey Brother, it's obvious to many that you are already "in over your head", which is why a lot of people reach out to help you understand.
But, then again, you enjoy choosing ignorance over learning.
I guess that's good to know, therefore people can realize what they are up against trying to talk to you via any sort of sense.
Would it be better if we attempted to use your irrational method of thinking, so as to make you realize how irrational you actually are?
Then again, never mind, you'll dismiss my statements anyway, because they are too rationalized for your way of thinking.

Thank you for presenting a strawman fallacy rather than arguing your illogical claim.
There is no debate is right! Just a bunch of zealous "believers" trying to ram scripture!
When someone objects to this pointless rubbish they get all snooty and childish.Rubbish? Snooty? Are you English?!
Don't be too concerned.
I feel sure there are thousands of other English words you are not familiar with.
In essence, what you're saying is that you're not here to debate, you're here to preach your version of the gospel, you're right and everyone else is wrong. End of story.
I have not received anything from you other than illogical claims. This has nothing to do with my heart and everything to do with your beliefs.
I suspected as much. But, what you may or may not understand or acknowledge is the fact that many others are reading these forums, not just you. In other words, sometimes the responses here are not for your benefit.

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.
enjoyAnd the god is just a pi**ant psychopath. Enjoy!
i'm so glad you think that. another post
OVER YOUR HEAD
I'll throw in Tasmania to sweeten the deal!
Hi Deborah! You're looking radiant!
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.
All religions support the quest for knowledge.
Who was blonde?
I am a firm believer in drawing the line and then crossing it.
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!
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.
No offense intended just using my constitutional right for "free speech." lol...:-)
