They could eat of any tree, but the one bearing the knowlege of good and evil.

That's it. One tree.

That's one thing that always bugged me:  Why was God such a fucking asshole as to put a tree like that in the middle of a field and tell Adam and Eve, "You better not touch that, that's the cookie jar.  Keep your hands off of it."

And then when they did, he fucking cast them out and cursed their descendants and the whole of Earth.  Like an asshole.
And literally make the one being that wanted to give you some cookies the most evil being in existence.

Here's where perspective matters. God is good, and righteous. Sin, is the opposite of that: unrighteousness, darkness, evil. It defiles, it corrupts.

So what does eating of the tree of knowledge do? Well that's the question.

Genesis 3:7
Quote
Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

Sin comes into the picture, the very moment Adam and Eve eat of the tree. Eating of the tree didn't enlighten them, it corrupted them. They were perfect in every way, they would never work for food or die of old age.

They eat of the apple, then suddenly......everything goes wrong. They are aware of their nakedness and feel shame, they hide from God whom they loved so much. And what does God do when He discovers this? The first thing He does is curse the serpent.

Why curse it? Because God saw the serpent had destroyed the innocence of those He loved. And created a rift of sin, that divided them. Christ was the only way to bridge that divide.



Here is what happens immediately after the cursing of the serpent:

Genesis 3: 17-20
Quote
To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat from it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."

All these results you see, they aren't God cursing them. "Cursed is the ground because of you".
He is saying their actions caused this suffering they will now experience.

Romans 6:23
Quote
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
So you rather remain ignorant and stupid instead of having knowledge and awareness of your own actions? Knowledge that make you like gods, knowledge that make you live independent from this god and to live your own life?

But we weren't ignorant or stupid. The only difference was, we weren't in sin.
We had the freedom of choice, but we chose wrong. Adam and Eve knew what they did was wrong, since they were told not to do it, but the gravity of what they had done didn't sink in until after the fact. They felt shame and hid from God because of it.

You see it as "enlightenment" or realization, but this event isn't called "The fall of man" for nothing. It wasn't a step up, it was a leap off a cliff from perfection to imperfection.

Yes, how dare they have free will.  Because they had Free Will, God decided to:

Make them mortal
Experience sickness and suffering
Cursed their children (and every child after them) to sin
Damned them to Hell
Forced women to experience the pain of childbirth
and threw them out of paradise.

Meanwhile the Devil is happy to take all the rejects, such as gay people, furries, and people with mental instabilities.  I'm thinking I'd rather have a beer with the Devil than a jealous, angry, vengeful God who would wreck your shit.
This.

Trying to destroy the titans. Again...
I saw your fight against Deadpool. You got decapitated.

I've died. Many times. That little blonde brat Terra even betrayed me.  I fell into a pool of lava, but was given another chance by Trigon.

No matter how many times I die, I come back.
