And The Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: lest he put forth his hand and take from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever: (Gen 3:22)
Is it not better this way?

Believe me you would not be a thinking being today if this event did not take place. Man would have still been in the dark ages.
To get the real version of this you would have to read Zecharia Sitchin's books on the Sumerian culture to really understand the meaning behind the Garden of Eden. What Christian will not understand this was the end of man's need for Gods. The human and his Gods became as one.

First , you misquote the Bible vast time. 2nd, transforming into Adam & Eve isn't magic. it could desire to be a time whilst guy with technologies could desire to manage molecules to create a human physique. of direction the physique could haven't any life. could be in basic terms as a sculpture. 2nd, regarding the fruit, even in the present day that are components that impression the way we see the international (psychotropic). Why could no longer a fruit be able to be sure them to ask themselves questions approximately what's around them? Hell is in basic terms the absence of God. via fact God is the source of each little thing this is sturdy, hell will become a bad place, via fact you do no longer hae what you require. And the section with Noah ark isn't a legend. The DNA strings proves that all and sundry people have a human ancestor around that factor. Plus all historical civilisation remember of their writings the flood and place in an analogous era.And regarding the final question: basically Jesus has a human face via fact he took human physique. the different individual do no longer unavoidably have a human face, yet can assume one. in certainty there's a verse that declares: no guy can see the face of God and stay.

ummm, no. its not better. you seem to be taking that scripture to mean that adam and eve made us all more like god by taking of the fruit... nah. to know good and evil, basically means, that man is now capable of evil along with good, as you see in the world today. that could all have been avoided, if they had taken from the tree of life, which basically would have meant NOT eating the forbidden fruit and following gods original instructions. in THAT case, we'd all be alot better off, everlasting life on a paradise earth without the threat of evil looming on us at every waking moment. so no, we arent better off, though if you really think we are, then i must respect your beliefs, however blatantly misguided they may be.

Some forget that God is in control. However, Satan was right when he said to her "that God" doeth know, in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be open and ye shall be as god knowing good and evil.
It was an ability to discern what is right and what is wrong. Which they did, They saw the were naked, and immediately they thought it was wrong. Shame set in, and the clothed them selves with fig leaves, and hid!
Now, we all know that according to the scriptures, they were naked before they ate of the tree, and God didnt say it was wrong! They did!
Thats were the problem is with the sinful nature! So, God set up a set of Laws to guide us to an understanding of what is right and what is wrong.
Even the Apostle Paul says in the Book of Roman that he didnt even know what lust was. If it hadnt been for the law sayig "thou shalt not covet.
Romans 7:7; What shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known LUST, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
However, if you look at your question verse from a non-believers point of view (not saying youre a non-believer, I not know you) they would see it this way.
But, from a believers point of view it is God that says what is right and wrong from his perspective, of Holiness.
Most forget He is A Holy God!

Knowing good from evil did not make man perfect and therefore was the death of him. God did come to the world to overcome temptation as a man and remain perfect and pay that penalty fo death for us. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Disobedience to God was not a good thing but the free gift of God was salvation through Jesus Christ our lord.
God can take our bad and make it a beautiful thing from sin came grace. But in this God is not mocked he is just and the penalty of sin is death but grace is through faith in Jesus Christ and by faith we are made new.

This concept was stolen from the Pagans, like most of the Bible it is not original.. Christianity is a Pagan religion, based on murder and assimilation..

No, it is not better this way. I really wish they had just left the tree alone and we would not be in the situations we are in now.

The things storybook characters do make no difference in the real world, except for when people falsely believe that they are true.

"Good", "bad", "right" and "wrong" are relative concepts. For some, being naked and ignorant is better, and they would love to return to that state; for others...not.
But, in quoting the Bible, you are quoting men, not God.
