Question about God and Jesus

When Adam and Eve "opened their eyes," what is the first thing they noticed after that? That they were naked.
Yes, that's how it reads. Suddenly they were aware that this was contrary to modesty ie wrong.
Only submitting to God's rulership under Christ Jesus will anyone escape the penalty passed on because of Adam.
If that's the case, it certainly isn't because of anything said in the Garden story. As I keep pointing out, it never mentions sin, original sin, the fall of man, death entering the world ─ and of course like the rest of the Tanakh it never mentions Jesus either.

God is the one that sets the standard for good and evil. God told them it was wrong to eat from that tree.
NO, [HE] DID NOT. [He] told them not to eat from it BECAUSE if they did they'd die the same day.

As they say in the theater, Lines, lines!
That was the ONLY tree in the garden Jehovah told them not to eat from. They knew God's command.
It wasn't worded as a command. But taking it to be one, what they didn't know was that disobedience was wrong.
