Well, this time last year, I probably would have apologized for this next post in that it is yet another “Religious” topic post, but this year, nope no need to apologize, everyone else can just deal with it because this is where my mind is going. So the topic of today’s post is about the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and why God may have even placed it in the Garden of Eden to begin with.
This topic was actually brought about by a conversation that I had with my mother one day this last week. I don’t recall exactly what we were talking about or why the comment came up and brought this idea to me, but we began discussing why God placed this particular tree in the garden if he didn’t want man to sin in the first place.
Now if you’ve ever had any amount of decent “religious” conversations with a variety of people sooner or later you will hear comments that vary along the lines of “Christians are just ignorant and follow blindly like sheep”, or perhaps “What type of God intentionally does something that will fail?” or maybe even “If God knows everything, and doesn’t want man to sin, why did he put that tree in the garden?”.
