OK, that's fine... but doesn't answer my question. God told Adam not to eat of it. But until Adam ate of it, how would he know that it's wrong to eat of it? Logical paradox.In my opinion? It was meant as food for the angels - not us.
Yes and no. Fu as in kung fu -- skill or art. The phonetic similarity with something debilitating and infectious was deliberate, however.Did you mean AVian Flu?

Genesis 2:16-17 said:16 ¶ And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Which they couldn't know was wrong because they had no knowledge of right and wrong until they did so. That's the paradox.What paradox? He was told not to eat of it --- period.
Adam and Eve had their "10 Commandments", which consisted of only one proscript; and what did they do? Broke it.

regularly? one day is regularly?How do you know? Adam walked with God in the Garden regularly (it is assumed). I'm sure God could have explained it to him --- in detail.
because god wanted to make cain an example of what he does not want and the consequences of pride, hate and ignoring godDo you know why the Death Penalty was not --- repeat: not --- enacted on Cain for killing Abel?

yeah, he could have, but man was created free to make any decision, even agaisnt himself and God. the reason why God created the tree of knowledge of good and evil i think it's beyond our understanding.. that can't be explained..God could've also put a fence around that tree.
No, Israel's enemies come from abraham and agar's illecit son, ismael. The arab world is his offspring.. ismael and isaac were not good friends ever since their birth..i guessBecause the myth needs to explain where the Hewbews' enemies came from?
It is assumed that Adam and Eve lived in the Garden for about a year before the Fall.
Laurie Anderson said:Let's see. Uh, it was on an island. And there was this snake.
And the snake had legs. And he could walk all around the island.
Yes. That's true. A snake with legs.
And the man and the woman were on the island too.
And they were not very smart.
But they were happy as clams. Yes.
Let's see. Uh...then one evening the snake was walking about
in the garden and he was talking to himself and he saw the woman
and they started to talk. And they became friends.
Very good friends.
And the woman liked the snake very much. Because when he
talked, he make little noises with his tongue, and his long tongue
was lightly licking about his lips.
Like there was a fire inside his mouth and the flame
would come dancing out of his mouth.
And this woman liked this very much.
And after that, she was bored with the man.
Because no matter what happened,
he was always as happy as a clam.
actually jewish Sages believe adam was only on earth not even 24 hours before he sinnned

That could very-well be. I have a hard time believing that though, as Adam was to name all the animals, was put to sleep, was given a wife, and walked and talked with God in the Garden.
Thanks for the info. I was wondering how the Jews viewed it.
Are you deliberately missing the point now? Senor Poe got it, apparently, but you can't or won't (I wonder which?). How could Adam understand that something was wrong without understanding the concept of right and wrong? If he already understood the concept of right/wrong (good/evil, etc), why should it matter that he ate of the Tree of that knowledge? If he didn't, why does God punish him for a wrong act?How do you know? Adam walked with God in the Garden regularly (it is assumed). I'm sure God could have explained it to him --- in detail.
Let's say "no" (since any answer I have will be wrong, according to you, anyway). Nor do I know why it's relevant. Enlighten me.Do you know why the Death Penalty was not --- repeat: not --- enacted on Cain for killing Abel?
Pretty foolish then to place it so prominently at the cornerstone of a religious belief, isn't it?
