Remember how Jesus said, it is far worse for a person who knows they are doing something bad than for someone who unknowingly does the same thing? (My paraphrase)
What happened to Adam and Eve was that they became “knowledgeable.” They were doing the same things prior but they didn’t know better. That is why, if you read carefully the scripture quoted above says what it does:
Genesis 3:22 Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever” — 23 therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
What I am saying is that what took place was a good thing, i.e. “God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil” If I Love someone with all my heart and all my soul, I am going to grow toward that person that I Love so much. I will emulate them in any way I can. What happened was God’s will and a part of His Divine Plan.
It was not the original sin, but an awareness of the sin that took place. That’s a good thing.
Not necessarily my opinion, but a different way of looking at the Adam & Eve event.
Not my opinion, either. Genesis presents an ancient (Jewish) concept of God, very different from the loving Father revealed by Jesus.
I’d disagree with you on that point of view only for the fact the Bible does indicate Eve had a willful conversation with the snake...about what God said regarding the Tree of Knowledge.
