The forbidden fruit

[FFH]

It was not wrong for Adam and Eve to eat of the fruit of Knowledge of Good and Evil....God was just warning them not too unless they were ready to experience life apart from Him.... This life apart from God is a sorrowful life....but it is necessary that we are apart from God in order to experience evil for ourselves to see if we like it or not....I don't like evil but some do....some will choose evil over good or some will choose some evil and some good.....there are so many different variances on this. That is why there are 3 degrees of glory and outer darkness...We cannot all be just all bad or all good...there are different degrees of bad and good....I am sure you agree...

It was just a warning to Adam and Eve not to eat thre fruit unless they were ready to leave the Garden of Eden and venture out on their own into a world apart from God.....God was not mad at Adam and Eve....In fact it was his idea in the first place for them to eat of this Fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil so they could experience Evil and Good for themselves.....and eventually return back to Him (God) by providing a Savior because they would eventually sin..

Well that is why eating of the fruit is called a transgression and not a sin.... It was not a bad choice at all.....

But why was it a bad choice? If it was what god wanted, wasn't it a good chioce?

God was saying to Adam and Eve that unless you are ready to leave this garden (or paradise) and move to the next level of your progression (which is to be in a world apart from God) so they could experience sin and sorrow for themselves, then don"t touch the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and evil. The Garden was just a holding place for Adam and Eve until they were ready to move to the next level (which was to be seperate from God in order to experience evil and sin for themselves) In other words God was telling tham don't eat of this fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil unless you are ready to do so.....Eve was ready so she picked the fruit and so did Adam obviously.....They were ready for the next step in their progression towards living with God again.....We are in that step of our progression as they were...."This life is the time for men to prepare to meet God, yeah this time is the time for men to perform their labors".

You know, that's starting to make sense. But why didn't god add in that little thing, "unless you are ready, don't eat the fruit"?

It was neither bad nor good but a necessary choice...Adam and Eves choice to eat of the fruit IS the same as us choosing to come to earth...This was a necessary choice for us to come to earth as was Adam and Eves choice to eat of the fruit...It was necessary....The choice to eat of the fruit was neither good nor bad but NECESSARY

There was a consequence of choosing to eat of the fruit which was that "thou shalt surely die" as God said....There is a consequence to coming to earth and that is that we will experience death...

You know, that's starting to make sense. But why didn't god add in that little thing, "unless you are ready, don't eat the fruit"?

He did not need to say anything other than "in the day that thou eatest of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, thou shalt surely die." That was enough for them....They did not need any more information.....Satan further explained the consequences of eating the fruit, which were that "if you eat of this fruit ye shall not surely die but be as the Gods knowing good and evil" The choice was before them, be as the Gods KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL or remain in a state of innocense not knowing good or evil , sorrow or sin...Of course Satan lied when he said "ye shall not surely die".....Eve wanted to experience good and evil without having to die or leave the Garden (paradise)....This is not possible but Eve bought into this lie and ate the fruit....
