A Riddle of a Question concerning Adam and Eve

[Blade_and_Blood]

I stumbled upon this a few weeks ago on the Quote Garden. I didn’t think much of it until I read it again:

*God tells Adam and Eve not to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. If this was the only way they could understand the difference between good and evil, how could they have known that it was wrong to disobey God and eat the fruit? *

~Laurie Lynn​

I actually tried to answer this… no luck. But, I do have a theory: Perhaps they had the morality of children… ???

After all, ignorance is bliss, I suppose.

Any ideas?

Ironically Yours, Blade and Blood

They did not need to know good from evil to know that the Lord God, Who had just created them and everything they saw around them, to know that the only thing He had told them *not * to do was not to eat the fruit of that one particular tree.

Out of love, out of respect, out of a sense of obedience to the One who was both their Father and Creator, and with the God-given intelligence they must have had since they were both made in the image and likeness of God, they should have known not to believe a serpent before their Creator, and not eaten from the one tree from which He told them not to eat.
That piece of fruit was just not worth it… http://sl.glitter-graphics.net/pub/82/82289kk9eaocxix.jpg

knowledge of good and evil may not be the same as knowledge of right and wrong. Before eating from the tree, Adam and Eve were not burdened by the moral component of their actions. They simply knew what was right and what was wrong.
