Yes. He knew they will and they did. He tempted them and they failed, God still cursed them.

Your question should be why was it important they leave the garden permanently?

Joagbaje:
It's the will of God for them to eat it. Because it is a good fruit and contain the knowledge of Good and devil.

Aheadship:
Another thing to consider is the timing and the instruction. At the time God gave the instruction, it was not his intent that they eat it then. But there was to come a time that man would judge the fallen angels and he would need the knowledge of good and evil to do so. Only at that time would it become right for man to eat that fruit.

MrPresident1:

This is where Adam (Israel) failed. Rather than completely destroying the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Adam started partaking out of its fruit, until that tree completely corrupted him, and he died to God.

MrPresident1:
The tree of life is Jesus Christ!

I like!

So what does the text mean where it is written, "for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die"?

budaatum:

Everything up to the above I could work with, but this sounds like burn a book to me.

Where you get "completely destroying the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" from?


Did Jesus not teach the knowledge of good and evil so we can choose?

MrPresident1:


No. God neither planned nor intended for Adam and Eve to eat from the forbidden fruit, on the contrary, God actually planned for them to destroy that tree, and to ensure that only the tree of life remained in the garden of Eden.

Genesis 2:9
And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Both the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil are ideologies. The tree of life is the knowledge of God and his laws, this is the Law that God gave to Moses.

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the idolatrous, evil, wicked, ungodly, devilish law of Israel's neighbour; their heathenistic demonic practices.

You see, in the garden of Eden, Adam (Israel) was not the only person present there, Israel had neighbours that God commanded her to rout out completely, in routing out those neighbours, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil would be destroyed completely. And only the tree of life would be present forever.

This is where Adam (Israel) failed. Rather than completely destroying the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Adam started partaking out of its fruit, until that tree completely corrupted him, and he died to God.

The tree of life is Jesus Christ

And when was that time going to be?

Of the date and time, no one knows.

Personally, I know practically nobody who is qualified to judge any other being. Although Nigerians like to believe they are holy enough but nah.

Broadcasting other people's sins do not make you a saint. We tend to be confused here.
