Agree/disagree: If god had meant for us to know, he would have placed knowledge directly into our brains?

Answer 1

disagree. knowledge is better to learn and experience. text books only get you so far.

Answer 2

Know what? Everything?
If you mean everything, or whatever, I totally disagree. If we all should know something, then we would all be the same - he already gives us knowledge to start us off - how to breathe, and a ton of reflexes to help us survive at birth. From there, we have to learn, that's why we're here - this WHOLE time - is to learn stuff. It's all about what you choose to do, so if you don't want to learn much, that is your choice. It's about effort, and learning, and making use of what you can from those around you and passing on knowledge. If God wanted us all to be lazy, he would have given us the information we are all constantly striving to attain. Think about it - every single day no matter what, we are learning something, and every day we are teaching others (even if by example). Our whole existence is for learning. If he "meant for us to know" and "placed knowledge directly into our brains" our being here would be pointless.

Answer 3

God could have FORGIVEN Adam and Eve and removed the knowledge couldn't he???? I think, if you take the bible at face value this was a pretty good way for us to start growing. if you take God as nurturing, then you have to see Adam and Eve weren't going anywhere in the garden. He COULD have created them with knowledge in the first place ( and never mind the knowledge to talk to snakes) but that would have been too easy. Doesn't God say be fruitful and multiply right after he creates them? If so they weren't doing much creating or anything else. The fall was probably God's tough love kick in the butt to get humanity moving on it own. Like you plant seed and stand back to let it grow, or you just do it like that because it's your way.

Answer 4

He certainly could have...but as your question suggests, we are not meant to know for certain. Knowing does not require faith. Any knowledge given directly by God would drastically affect how many people would end up in Heaven, but would also effectively remove free will from the equation. We just aren't meant to know!

Answer 5

If that was true it would negate the whole concept of religion, because then there would be no need to have an organized religion teach some form of doctrine.

This would be some paradox, because it would at the same time prove God and disprove religion.

Answer 6

Disagree. God DIDN"T want us to know. There were two "Magical" trees in the garden, the Tree of Life, and the Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil. It was fine to eat from the life tree (hence people living for hundreds of years), but eating from the tree of knowledge got A&E booted from the garden.

Answer 7

I would say that something like this is the case; so agreed. I would not, however, word it the way you did. I would say it is closer to a divine sense rather than propositional content. The Latin term used by Aquinas is "Sensus Divinitatis."

Answer 8

No - The Bible even says that we must accept by faith the fact that God exists, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him” - (Hebrews 11:6).

if God so desired, he could simply implant the knowledge/fact in all minds and prove to the whole world that he exists. but if he did that, there would be no need for faith.

Answer 9

absolutely disagree.

God gave us a brain to think and learn.

He gave us logic so we can reason.

Those that say this are the same that said if man were meant to fly we would be born with wings.

It is clear we can fly and we can learn

Answer 10

disagree HE has given us the ability to know and given us the opportunity to choose for ourselves . It is all about choice Heaven or Hell same with everything else
