I believe there is a reason God tells us of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden. Also His admonition not to eat thereof, lest we would surely die.
Every human being now has that knowledge in them.
It is a fundamental problem, because that ability to discern good and evil, is too easily confused as a counterfeit substitute for our direct relationship with God through faith in Christ. As soon as we slip into that reliance, instead of through faith in Christ first, we fall out of fellowship with Him.
It manifests the nature of sin.
One step removed, morality can either be used as a counterfeit substitute for being in fellowship with Him, or it can scar us into legalism and good works without faith, which are simply good for nothingness in His Plan.
“I believe there is a reason God tells us of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden. Also His admonition not to eat thereof, lest we would surely die.”
So what you are saying is god left a loaded .45 on the table in reach of people that knew no sin, therefore innocent.
“Every human being now has that knowledge in them.’
Do you mean after he told those innocents what would happen,or before?
“It is a fundamental problem, because that ability to discern good and evil, is too easily confused as a counterfeit substitute for our direct relationship with God through faith in Christ. As soon as we slip into that reliance, instead of through faith in Christ first, we fall out of fellowship with Him.”
Are you saying that you have no proof of god? Proof always denies the need for faith like “checks in the mail.”
“It manifests the nature of sin.”
What is the biblical definition of sin?
“One step removed, morality can either be used as a counterfeit substitute for being in fellowship with Him, or it can scar us into legalism and good works without faith, which are simply good for nothingness in His Plan.”
How do you prove what you claim to be true, true?
Just curious.
