On the contrary and as that article eloquently pointed out, they absolutely knew what Good and evil were and detested evil. Again, the knowledge gained was not about being able to tell right from wrong. It was the awareness that they could decide for themselves, (pride- my will not Thy Will) what is right and wrong - which if you think about it means taken to the extreme is moral subjectivism - no absolute truth - no absolute Good.Dear DrBubbaLove,
Still trying to prove something wrong to by right? The only tree of importance in the Garden of Eden is the tree of knowledge of good and bad. As long as our folks therein, Adam and Eve, were unaware of what is right and wrong, good and bad, they did not represent a likeness of God as is being reported in Genesis 1:26-27. They cannot even be compared to Jesus Christ who was aware of good and bad. So, what do we have here? An imperfect naked couple in a paradise garden.
??? Odd view for a Christian to take, one of several such demonstrated in this thread too. mmmmAlso, don't you think it is about time to depart from some ancient beliefs that God created Adam instantly out of dust then taking one of his ribs to form Eve, thereby lowering Himself to the level of witches?
And not sure where one is "learning" stuff about Christianity, but a recent Pope actually is quoted saying something to the effect of - it doesn't really matter where one believes Adam got his body, as long as one acknowledges his soul could only have come from God. A human soul cannot have "evolved". Suggest expanding your reading lists, especially if exposure is limited to only fundamentalist Christianity.
Actually where I converted the Catholic Church is growing nicely thanks - multiple (5 including evening plus Saturday night) Masses on Sunday and most over flowing with people. I will agree the American society is in decline, but that has been true throughout the history of mankind. The Church is still here and will remain.Do you know that Christianity is in decline in America, church attendance dropping? In order to save Christianity reforms are needed among them the realization that Eden is a fake, that Jesus Christ was not God to die on a cross, but God's messenger to tell us about the Kingdom of God.
