People like to seek ways to have scripture suit their own ideas, in effect redefining good and evil to suit their own purposes and opinions, utilizing the forbidden knowledge for our own purposes as we have always done.
It says what it says and needs no middlemen or interpretation. Jesus' two commandments summed up what has been going on since the Garden and gives the cure, telling us plainly to put God's will ahead of our own, thus loving all as self instead of being perpetually selfish and self-centered.
This whole idea of interpretive theology is the result of self interest trying to make God over in our own image, just as we have made the world over into our image. Even the religion at one time self justified abandoning the Kingdom to rejoin the world of man, that act, still being unrepentant until this day, being equivalent to the sin of Eve and all other adversarial to God events of the Bible. Trust what the words actually say, but not the interpretations of man, no matter how gloriously those men present themselves.
