No one knows and the Bible doesn't say but I have a guess. I think that if Adam and Eve had matured and grown enough spiritually, then after they ate from the tree of life, they would have been able to eat this fruit. The reason it seems logical to me is the fact that once they ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, God had the angel with the flaming sword keep them from the tree of life.

This Tree of know-how replaced into probable planted contained in the backyard of Eden by using the devil to tempt us faraway from being goody 2 shoes human beings. no longer something incorrect with incredibly six. because of the fact that's what the Tree of know-how is all approximately. in simple terms like all of sudden coming for the duration of a porn magazine in a public library, left there between the books by using some devil perv.

It's my favorite myth. I suppose that the lesson is meant to be that those break the rules get thrown to the wolves. And that power comes at a cost since after the fall Adam & Eve attained the god-like power to procreate but at the cost of a comfortable life in the Garden.

I'm not a christian, But I'll Take a crack at it. god is Omnipotent, and he is good incarnate, right?
so he had to know what was going to happen all along. God can not do evil, but evil has to exist as well as good in order for our trials and tribulations on earth to have any meaning. If you believe that we where put here on the earth to please god and to choose to worship him instead of doing whatever the heck we wanted, then we must have a choice (Free will). since god can not do evil he planted the tree knowing full well that we would sin and innocence would be lost. not by his doing but by ours. It was necessary for us to grow individually and as a people. It's all part of gods plan. If that's what you believe.

Our knowledge of a tree planted to give knowledge, of what is good and bad, is related in a book, the Bible, or Biblical writings, which have not been totally proven fact! Can we question Adam and Eve? Satan was in the garden of Eden, too! Why would God, who is all good, wish for his children to be ignorant? All knowledge and wisdom come from God, and what the writer thought, is not necessarily fact! Does such a tree exist? Is the meaning for tree, different than we know it? Satan, the master of deceipt, tricked, tempted, taught wrong, and forced Adam and Eve, by their ignorance, to believe wrongly of God, and even took them from the garden of Eden, putting up a wall of fire, so they could not return! No Mother or Father, who love their children, would ever send them away, if they did something wrong! They would have been forgiven, if they, indeed, committed sin, and were sorry, as taught by God's son, Jesus, our Lord, and Savior! Would you wish for your children to be ignorant, and be deceived by Satan? Would you send your children away, if they did wrong? God Almighty created us in his own image! We are all God's children! Original sin is but, ignorance, not knowing God, or having faith in God! Satan rebelled against God, and wanted to be God! Satan deceived almost everyone, but certainly not God or Jesus! Satan tried to totally corrupt mankind! He had his free will! Just as all people have free will! God's true words, "My people are being destroyed for lack of knowledge"! Most of Earth was a paradise, at the time of the garden of Eden, and God Almighty did not leave us! The spirit of God lives in everyone, ultimately God is love! The Holy Spirit is the very oxygen, we breathe, the truth in our minds, the love in our hearts, and the charity in our actions! Our bodies are temples, we truly are the church! We are in sin, until we recognize the fact, that God Almighty, maker of heaven and Earth, created us, loves us, needs us, to do his work on Earth, gave us commandments to obey, and sent us his only begotten son, Jesus, to show us the way, the truth, and the life, need for repentance, and forgiveness of sins against us! Father and Son are one in the spirit! Correction is a blessing! God bless us all! Love always to you!

His purpose was to give us free will and try us to see what we would do with it. Nothing takes God by suprise and he already knew what was going to happen. His purpose is for us to go through many trials and hardships so we can become perfect and holy like him and be close to him. He uses all the bad things that happen to do just that.

It wasn't a "test" because God knew they would disobey him. But you see God could do one of three things: 1) never create the tree, which would mean that God never would have given them a chance to disobey him, meaning free-will wouldn't exist. God wants a relationship with us, and if he never gave us free-will to willingly enter that relationship, then it would be just like loving a program which is silly. 2) he could have skipped the tree, knowing man would eat off it, and punish them since he knew they WOULD HAVE ate from it. Still, God does not punish us before we make a choice he knew we would make or else we could claim ignorance. Simply put, God doesn't put non-believers straight in hell because they would be able to claim they never actually sinned. God lets things happen so we may know why we deserve condemnation. In other words, he doesn't prejudge us, he lets us make mistakes so we can't claim to be perfect. 3) He could have done what he did, which gave mankind a choice to rebel, but also a choice to find redemption. From the beginning, God knew we would fall so he had prepared a plan of redemption beforehand.
God lets us fall down, but with his hands we can be lifted up, but we can't climb up on our own. We need him, and Adam and Eve sinned because they thought they could stand on their own.
The tree itself, and the fruit, may have just been like any other tree, so its not like God created sin. Instead, he created moral standards so that we may see clearly that we are sinful, but he is righteous; we are fallen, but he is strong to save.

How can he give someone a free will but no opportunity to express it. God desired them to make the right choice he always has. With God there is always a purpose.

To tempt man..my question is if god knows all as most Christan's believe..why did he put the tree there and tell man not to eat from it knowing full well that he would eat from it.
