Christians Since the knowledge of Good and Evil was the original sin is sending a child to school evil?

Question

After all it was the serpent that was in favor of Adam and Eve learning. God wanted to keep them ignorant!

So if we want to say this or that is a sin the main sin should be KNOWLEDGE! After all it was the FIRST ONE!

Answer 1

Maybe that explains why fundie "Christians" are attempting to hobble the public school system.

(Yeah, this is sarcasm. It's fair for people to protest that you've purposefully misinterpreted the Eden legend to make a "point," but when they go on to defend it as literal history, they cease to exist intellectually.)

But Christianity has always worked to hold back intellectual progress, because its power and wealth depends on maintaining Dark Ages ignorance. The fact that so many of its adherents are too lazy and stupid to even WANT to know anything - that's just lucky for them.

Answer 2

The first sin was the thought that we don't need God. If we don't need God we have to decide what is good and what is bad.

God created everything to be used for the good of all, but humans tend to think in a more narrow scope and so their decisions usually don't take the good of all into their considerations. This is the world we have today and because of this millions are suffering.

Education/knowledge is not evil. Nothing is evil. It is how it is used that determines the outcome.

Answer 3

The sin was not knowledge, it was knowledge of good and evil. This sin is already a done deal. People have that knowledge now. God wanted to keep them innocent, not ignorant. Sending a child to school is not a sin. Not providing for education in spiritual matters and knowledge of Jesus Christ is a sin. We are to bring our children up in the way that they should go, so they do not depart from it. This means to teach them about salvation, and how it is acquired through Jesus Christ.

Answer 4

For Adam and Eve I suppose ignorance really was bliss. What Christians call original sin was actually the first step of humanity evolving from simple consciousness of an animal into the self consciousness that is associated with man.

Answer 5

there is one critical flaw in your logic, knowledge is not the firs sin. God said not to eat of the fruit of the tree, and gave a consequence if they did, and then they did it anyway. Knowledge itself is neutral, actually they were supposed to work in the garden, and thus needed agricultural knowledge. the first sin was disobeying God because the alternative seemed pleasing.

Answer 6

It wasn't the knowledge of good and evil that was the sin.
God gave a direct order to not eat from that specific tree. They disobeyed God's order and ate from the tree. That was the sin.
God would have eventually given A&E the knowledge in his time. The serpent is the one who twisted it to seem like God didn't want them to have it- just like he twisted you into believing that was the sin.

Answer 7

The original sin was disobeying God.

Answer 8

There has consistently been a information of sturdy. understanding of evil got here with sin. understanding replaced into no sin however the sin raised expertise of all this is adverse. This tale must be basically symbolical. we have not got any way of understanding.

Answer 9

In the Garden of Eden, God designates one tree off limits, and he warns man never to touch its fruit on pain of death. The forbiden fruit is that of the of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The Hebrew word for knowledge, "da'at", means sexual knowledge. "To know" is the biblical verb that implies more than the sexual act alone. It is an elegant euphemism for the intimate and sensitive understanding that evolves over TIME within a sexual relationship.

Answer 10

Many Christians are electing to teach their children at home since they feel the schools are full of evil teaching.
