Please think before answer and answer only for the Question I ask. I don’t need interpretations and telling me about stars and sex and reasons why Moon is the light and so on. Please read the full Question.
And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
So from this we know we are like GOD (‘s) know what evil and good is. We have same knowledge as GOD of what is bad and what is good.

"Our understanding of bad and good are no different from God’s own understanding."

Before you going to answer this I want to note that I am not interesting in the reasons. I will agree that All God’s reasons are so beautiful that I can’t even breathe. The Question is if the Great Flood is a good act or bad act. Killing and murdering by God’s command is a good act or bad act. Sending all kinds decease’s to Egyptians to kill all babies is a good or bad? Again please don’t give me the reasons, I know every Christian will justify all kinds of murders and rapes and killing as long as it in bible. I am just asking if it’s good or bad according to the knowledge that we got from eaten the fruit.

Again and Again. some1 just said "If I catch someone in the act of abusing my child, and I kill that person, is it a good act or a bad act?" Well this person puts the reason. I asked if act of killing is good or bad? How its justified is totaly different story.

to some1 who said "I think that you are asking whether human beings possess the same knowledge of good and evil that God has.

I think that they key word in this passage is "as" which suggests "similar to" but not necessarily "identical to."
"

Well it does not say in Gneses they we have knolwedge as GOD's. We became as they and know good from bad. So unless proven that our knowledge less than GOd's knowledge i will go by bible and not by way of twisting. Tough nice try.

I'm much more concerned about whether Thor will get honked off again, and bring more hurricanes to Florida.

I am having trouble understanding the question, but I would like to try to help.

I think that you are asking whether human beings possess the same knowledge of good and evil that God has.

I think that they key word in this passage is "as" which suggests "similar to" but not necessarily "identical to."

So while human beings do have a similar ability to discern right from wrong as God does, it is not a level of discernment equal to that of God.

For example, we are creatures who continue to learn right from wrong. When I was a child, I do not remember growing up with a sense of concern about the world -- I did not think of injustice within the political system, entrenched attitudes that oppress certain groups of people, and how our consumerist behaviors harm the planet as well as less developed nations in the world. These things I did not understand as a child, nor did I understand them as wrong as a young adult. It was not until later that I developed a more finely-tuned sensitivity to what is right and wrong regarding the issues I mention.

Even now, in my early 50s, I cannot say that I have fully understood right and wrong--there are still many things to think about!

So, while I can say that I am as God in that I do have a sense of right and wrong, I am unlike God in that it is something that I have to keep growing into, and will not accomplish a full sense of godly right and wrong in this lifetime.

I hope this helps. I know this question is important to you and I am sorry if I didn't fully understand what you were asking.

Wow! What is this question that I'm supposed to answer only after reading it in full? Sorry but It's not very clear.


All I know is - Christians should emulate Jesus not idolartize the Bible.

If I catch someone in the act of abusing my child, and I kill that person, is it a good act or a bad act?
Come near one of my kids, and find out!

The commandment says thou shall not kill...it doesn't say thou shall only kill if god tells you it's ok....or thou shall not kill unless it is warranted....that is part of the absurdity and hypocricy of the bible stories and all the more reason to treat them for what they are....mythology

I think it depends entirely on which side of the saction you are standing. There is no complete good or bad, just shades in between.
