why is there good and bad?

Question

God made the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but why did he do that? is it becuz the potential for evil can exist even in a perfect world?

but if the new heavens and earth is going to be perfect with no potential for evil, I would feel safe to assume that the order of operations that this world relies on is going to be replaced into something completely different. Let me rephrase that: the next world after this one is going to be completely different in every way and shape and form, BUT it will still be (partially) physical becuz people's bodies will be resurrected. Is that not true?

Answer 1

Because God gave us and the angels free will. The tree of knowledge was a test for us humans, and because Adam and Eve disobeyed God they failed the test and we suffer the consequences of that original sin. If Adam and Eve would have obeyed God, we would not have to die. Sin leads to death, but Jesus offers eternal life in Heaven to those who follow Him and keep His commandments and to sinners if they repent and honestly try not to sin again.

Answer 2

We DO NOT LIVE in a PERFECT world at all. Instead we live in a Dichotomy... in a world of Duality between two opposites: good and evil; right and wrong; night and day; black and white; up and down; inside and outside; front and back; left and right; forward and backward; advance and retreat; and over and under; and on and on...

The key to Perfection is Wisdom; the key to Wisdom is Knowledge; the key to Knowledge is Experience; the key to Experience is making Mistakes; and the key to making mistakes is being HUMAN in this world that we live in.

Let us first strive for Perfection in THIS world before we begin to worry about the NEXT world.

Peace be with you!

1Co 15:35 But someone will say, How are the dead raised up, and with what body do they come?
1Co 15:36 Foolish one! What you sow is not made alive unless it dies.
1Co 15:37 And what you sow, you do not sow the body that is going to be, but a bare grain (perhaps of wheat or of some of the rest).
1Co 15:38 And God gives it a body as it has pleased Him, and to each of the seeds its own body.
1Co 15:39 All flesh is not the same flesh; but one kind of flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fish, and another of birds.
1Co 15:40 There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the glory of the heavenly is truly different, and that of the earthly different;
1Co 15:41 one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
1Co 15:42 So also the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;
1Co 15:43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
1Co 15:44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
1Co 15:45 And so it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul," the last Adam was a life-giving Spirit.
1Co 15:46 But not the spiritual first, but the natural; afterward the spiritual.
1Co 15:47 The first man was out of earth, earthy; the second Man was the Lord from Heaven.
1Co 15:48 Such the earthy man, such also the earthy ones. And such the heavenly Man, such also the heavenly ones.
1Co 15:49 And according as we bore the image of the earthy man, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.
1Co 15:50 And I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
1Co 15:51 Behold, I speak a mystery to you; we shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed;
1Co 15:52 in a moment, in a glance of an eye, at the last trumpet. For a trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall all be changed.
1Co 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Co 15:54 But when this corruptible shall put on incorruption, and when this mortal shall put on immortality, then will take place the word that is written, "Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Co 15:55 O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?"
1Co 15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the Law.
1Co 15:57 But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
