[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] [b]There's something to do with knowledge, or awareness, that God commanded them not to eat from that tree. Maybe eating from that tree would reveal something to them that God would not allow. Maybe something about Lucifer and his rise against God, who knows. [/b] my interpretatiton of the "knowledge of good and evil" is that IT is what makes us different from animals... animals don't seem to "know" in general... many, but not all people do and most don't seem to care... how does the knowledge of good and evil come to us? thru the teachings of our elders? (i.e. the Bible?) or is it in our hearts?.. living in the garden of eden was idyllic? i doubt it.. it was a struggle for survival... see: a lion pride's social structure... they shred each other at the dinner table... learning how to develop a healthy, nurturing social order... that is the "knowlege of good and evil" as far as i am concerned.. the Bible accomplishes this, as do the other good religions... the problems arise when religious teachings become tools of evil... i don't think i need to point them out.. we see plenty of examples.. Ace... why do you insist the Bible is all facts? to be honest i think that shows that you are seeking excuses to "prop" your faith on.... [b]"I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world." (Matt. 13:35)[/b] do you also beleive that there was really a fox that took a gingerbread man onto his back to cross a river? there is deep truth in that story... a Fox is a Fox is a Fox... they will always be a Fox because that is what they are... nobody thinks a gingerbread man got up and ran away.. but everybody knows foxes are sly..
