God, page-80

I'm sorry whereu, I did not make my point very clear. What I meant was because of sin we are imperfect, and because of our imperfection we die. Unfortunately we are all born into sin. Please read Romans 5:12 That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned —. That one man was Adam. We inherited our in perfection from him. But thankfully Jesus came to earth to die for us so that we can be reconciled to God and have a hope of living forever. Please read Romans 5:15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if by one man’s trespass many died, how much more did the undeserved kindness of God and his free gift by the undeserved kindness of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to many!"

There are several points about the account of Adam eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge that I don't get from a logical point of view.

Here is one.

The reason given to me for making the tree of knowledge available was to give Adam the opportunity of obeying or disobeying God - that is their free will (that is another point of debate, but let's go along with it for now).

But then we are told it was eating fruit from this tree that gave them the ability to distinguish between good and evil. Unless they knew the difference between good and evil, how did they know that going against God's instruction to eat the fruit in the first place was evil? - unless they gained this knowledge through disobeying God and eating the fruit.

Anybody wish to explain this?
