If they didn't know the difference between good and evil how did they know that disobeying God was evil? Why did God allow serpent to tempt the two humans? Plus why should all humans pay for the mistakes of two other guys? It doesn't make any sense to me...
Most Christians denominations have the doctrine of original sin that says exactly the opposite. That we are born sinful.
and the Lord God commanded "of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat,
for in the day you eat of it you shall surely die". Gen 2:16,17 told what it was, said don't eat of it, if you do, you will die. they knew it was forbidden.
freely chosen. through adam sin entered a fallen world - we all die.
i believe scripture teaches we are tempted to see what is in our hearts. to see Whom will we serve - the devil or God.
God is inviting us home to live with Him. i think He Wants to be selective. He seeks US - with Faith to Trust the Truth & obey Him.
the devil's tricks will fool all who aren't interested in Truth, God's Word or Will.
*- the "doctrine" of "original sin"- (as defined from the "doctrines of men") is that we are born with adam's sin.
wrong . Error. Not in the Word of God.
we are born pure, sinless little babies. ask a newborn what he has done wrong, what sin he has committed. NONE.
that's the trouble of men making up all kinds of stupid things.
Not in the Word of God
