Did Adam and Eve know right from wrong before they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Or was it after they ate from the fruit that they understood right from wrong?
Here is another question, if you placed a loaded handgun in a toybox with your kid's toys, and told them they could play with every toy in there except the handgun, what do you think would happen? Is it not the same thing with God planting the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden and telling them they could eat from every tree except that one? Wouldn't you stop your child from grabbing the gun and killing himself? Or would you not have put the gun in there to begin with?
I already know that most of you will say that God gives us a free choice. I give my kids free choices all the time, but if I see that the choice they made could kill or permamently scar themself, then I'm going to intervene and stop them. Why didn't God do that if he loves us so much more?
