We see fall of Adam in Gen. 3. End is a puzzle when it comes to verses 22: "And the LORD God said, The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."
Let’s concentrate on Verse 22. The phrase “Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil(KJV)” needs discussion. This phrase implies the ability to distinguish between good & evil came into humanity only after sin by eating from forbidden tree; which also means that human beings were not having the ability to distinguish good & evil before they disobeyed. Then, when the choice was made to eat from forbidden tree, they decided without “the ability to distinguish between good and evil”. If that is the case, how can they be held responsible for the choice which came out of a natural intellectual vacuum which they inherited from birth, “without the decisive ability to know good and evil”.
