I don’t understand the reference to “eating the fruit of knowledge of good and evil.” Please explain.

All the nonsense that the Almighty NOW has no standard of righteousness because "grace replaced th Law" fails to explain ONE simply requirement in the Garden. A simple "Don't eat." So apparently He DOES care about what whether we obey or disobey, now, as He did then.
So, don't eat the fruit in the Garden is acceptable to Christianity, but don't eat pig isn't. Could it be that early Chritian theologians explained things away that simply seemed "too Jewish"? In my opinion, the only reason Christianity rejects the Law is that it does not like the so-called "Jewishness" of it. I suppose the whole "what would Jesus do" idea only goes so far with many folks (or they forget that He was an orthodox Jew).
