Tree of the Knoledge of Torah.

[@mhenrique4860]

I would like to know: The Torah doesn't not seems to state that The Tree of Life was forbidding to Adam... Was Adam eating from it or was he allowed to eat ?

[@OneEkklesia]

Adam and Eve were placed in the Garden and given a CHOICE! __ The option to the Tree of Life was simple, since Adam and Eve were already alive! But what was death? What is "to die"? What is to "...know good and evil"? Was it hidden knowledge that only God could know? How could it be bad to want to be as God? __ The curse of death that was wrought by "Tree of Good and Evil" is MIXING in the bad with the good! It is the deception that we can partake of a little evil as long as we also partake of the good! __ And there's more! ____ Brother Villa.

So just prior to biting the fruit, Adam and Eve had zero knowledge of evil. NO KNOWLEDGE OF EVIL. They didn’t know that what they were doing was wrong, couldn’t have by definition.

[@charlescresap4451]

He did not say don't eat the fruit. God said when you eat it you will die. They ate and died spiritually, they left God's presence. They lived mortal lives with children which resulted in us. The tree of knowledge of all things, good an evil, is a symbol for God. The tree of life is a symbol for Christ. Both were in the garden. Why did the "snake" tempt them? He had now chance with them or their children if they stayed in the garden with God. Manis Friedman said they needed to leave God's presence to do what God needed.

Interesting stuff, thank you for that

Creating in the spirit of man from the wombs, the church has lead many to do rebirths them in the tree of knowledge, in defiance of Mama being the one to give light, yet still create in the body. Children Belong to the spirit you give your seed to, your Mama gave you. Many of you chose to give your seeds to the spirits of men from the wombs of the spirit you denied. You do it because HIS spirit makes your wife submissive. So together you have created in the knowledge of men. It shows in your children, whose spirits are penetrated by the false light, the sun. They are reborn of their father's coming out the closet. Your wives. You now belong to his spirit, here in his flesh. The sea horse of the land, the Adams Apple with a peach, the bridegrooms here to take dominion of their husband's and children , received and reborn in the holy one, MAn . Look that is the begining of Mama's name. In the begining I wisely spoke Mama and Dada. You have made yourselves MAn and woMAn, following Adam and Eve. She was only made from him because Mama knew he was an empty vessel being used , whose seed has been denied life.

Nah Satan lied. He took away our true power by lying to us that the tree of knowledge of good and evil would make us godlike while it really didn’t look at where we are now. Otherwise we would’ve still been in the Garden of Eden with God’s Life.

When one is healthy does he take medicine?

[@charlescresap4451]

Don't we take medicine to prevent problems and disease. I had the Salk vaccine to prevent polio. Do you prefer COVID or flu or measles? How about typhoid, malaria, diarrhea, allergies? You can take an NSAID or an antihistamine when you are hurting or if you will be to prevent problems.

[@johnshubin1168]

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the law

[@effdonahue6595]

And what does that law say

[@johnshubin1168]

@@effdonahue6595 That the law is the knowledge of good and evil. The tree of life is a different tree altogether

[@effdonahue6595]

And the devil wanted them to get kicked out of the garden like he was kicked out of Heaven

[@johnshubin1168]

@@effdonahue6595 The power of sin is the law. Without the law sin is dead The law gave knowledge of sin. This is why the Messiah came.

Duality

[@votebrian66]

Its the power to manifest reality. Before the tree only God could manifest reality, now we all can, but with great power comes great responsibility and I don't think we are being very responsible. If God returns we lose the power to manifest for ourselves and we all return to Eden, I promise you that the best version of our world is better than Eden all we have to do is believe in it.

It wasn't a tree of fruit it was meat that's why they had meat skins on them

[@effdonahue6595]

Meatheads!! 🤓

[@jdnrust1590]

Translated properly it means the knowledge of everything. It wasn’t the tree of knowledge of good and evil it was the tree of knowledge of everything.

This. Look to the deceiver’s sin. God’s Knowledge without God’s Wisdom is death. It is being fulfilled on earth after the fall.

[@CrawlingAxle]

We have no idea. It's just a snippet in the text. Without being able to compare to other myths in the area, it's all guesswork.

[@Harrybowles1969]

​​@@kidwave1that is 100% correct. However God gave us free will to enjoy the world in 2 ways. 1- to pleasure ourselves through our 5 senses using material wealth but like a bottomless pit of desire which can never be satisfied ( this is the tree of knowledge) 2- live under the guidance and grace of god giving inner peace. ( This is the beautiful garden)

[@kimsahl8555]

Knowledge is't good/bad, but how you use it is good/bad. Knowledge is in your mind - not in a tree.

[@kimsahl8555]

"Don't be like God" - well, God can do other thing, and let a smart human do the job better.

[@jerrycoker8713]

The primary One reason the Tree of Knowledge was forbidden is that first, obedience to that would prove the createds' love for the Creator and honor of His commands/instructions, further, it would be the only way to stay within His provisional keeping of our needs, wants, and such.

We like Trump. His policies are consistent with the founding of this once-excellent country, which is in tragic decline due to the career criminal currently in the White House. Thank you for your input.
