He did; But he did not understand. Besides, God designed his psychology (as there is nowhere else for it to come from) to be curious more than obedient. As I said, entrapment.

And how do you know Adam and Eve did not understand God ?
Do you think God was talking to a couple of morons ?
They certainly understood the serpent and had a conversation with him. Why should they not understand a simple command not to eat of a certain tree ?
I think YOUR psychology needs scrutinizing !!!

They understood the literal meaning of it, but didn't understand why they should obey it instead of their curiosity, since that would probably be "knowledge of good and evil". That's some catch, that Catch-22...
Yes , ignorance was a large part of their downfall and that is the reason we are given a chance to get it right this time having gained the necessary experience.

But whether or not we get it right is a foregone conclusion when you have God's infinite knowledge. Why test us at all?

This is dogmatic nonsense. But I don't really see any point in arguing, so forgive me if I don't.

People! How can you cast the folly of a man upon God. If God did something about the sin of the world today. Then tomorrow would never come!
I can excuse you but only GOD can forgive.This is dogmatic nonsense. But I don't really see any point in arguing, so forgive me if I don't.
And which man exactly has God's infinite knowledge ?
We are given only enough to save our butts ! (if we accept it)
What are you saying friend - that God is doing nothing ?
He sacrificed his Son for our salvation !

Seems to me that once we ate the apple we became more Godlike and hence suffer the consequences of being more on our own - with more significant benefits too.
Like the child who lives at their parents home all their life, they are bound by their parents house rules and limited in their achievements, but on leaving home the child makes their own house rules and has less limits on their achievements.
Essentially we wanted it this way, so god gave it to us.

God, which is my point. God doesn't need to give us the chance to do anything, because He knows whether we'll succeed beforehand.And which man exactly has God's infinite knowledge ?

How can you pay taxes or maintain citizenship in a country that allows abbortion?

Easy, abortion is the choice of the one who is pregnant.
Then add to that fact the fact that abortion is a legal medical procedure in this country (USA)...
But enough of your blatant diversion tactic....
What God is trying to teach man is 'more' awareness.
We are not yet in any way 'like' God. So HIM knowing something does not affect US unless we know it too.
Get it ?

Well, if you make it against the law it won't lower the abortion rate this is a fact.

It is utterly amazing to me just how much people know what their unknowable god wants, thinks, etc.
Seriously.
It is utterly amazing....
[/sarcasm]
Yes I agree it is utterly amazing how God reveals Himself to the humble and obedient ! :yes:
