How did Adam and Eve know good from evil?

hotjer writes:Exodus 21:7-11 "If a man sells his daughter as a servant..."The Bible explicitly talks about sexual relationships between children and adults. Enyoj God's morality!

killinghurts writes:Elderly or minors, it's not morally okay to sell people. This just another example of how archaic and out of touch christianity is.

"Peg" writes: so why do humans still do it?

"Peg" writes: And not only in christian countries is it still practiced. You cant blame christianity for it.

killinghurts writes:Probably for a multitude of reasons - profit, slavery, prostitution... what exactly is your point here? That's okay to do it because everyone else does?

killinghurts writes:That bible passage is morally wrong, face the facts and admit you are defending the indefensible.

"Peg" writes:no, the point is that it was around long before the bible and it was being practiced by people who did not know the God of the bible. So before you want to blame christianity for slavery, just think about that.

killinghurts writes:Does that teaching condone the sale of people against their will or does it not?

The will of God is this writes: Just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more ... But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.Psalm 37:10, 11, 29.
Isaiah11:9 the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea.Isaiah 33:24; 35:5, 6 No resident will say: ‘I am sick.’... At that time the eyes of the blind ones will be opened, and the very ears of the deaf ones will be unstopped. At that time the lame one will climb up just as a stag does, and the tongue of the speechless one will cry out in gladness.Isaiah 65:21, 22 They will certainly build houses and have occupancy; and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. They will not build and someone else have occupancy; they will not plant and someone else do the eating.Micah 4:4 they will actually sit, each one under his vine and under his fig tree, and there will be no one making them tremble.Isaiah 35:1, 6 The wilderness and the waterless region will exult, and the desert plain will be joyful and blossom as the saffron. ... In the wilderness waters will have burst out, and torrents in the desert plain.Psalm 72:16 There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth; on the top of the mountains there will be an overflow.Rev 21:3 Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.Psalm 145:16 You [God] are opening your hand and satisfying the desire of every living thing.Isaiah 14:7; 65:17, 18 I am creating new heavens [a new heavenly government over mankind] and a new earth [a righteous human society]; and the former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart. But exult, you people, and be joyful forever in what I am creating. The whole earth has come to rest, has become free of disturbance. People have become cheerful with joyful cries.

"Peg" writes:among the isrealites, God had put a lot of restrictions and regulations on a practice that they had been doing for a long time before he came on the sceneSo, either God forces humans to live under his rules, or he has allowed independence from his rules. It cannot be both. Mankind are independent and therefore we are not living under Gods laws.

killinghurts writes:Perhaps I should rephrase my question

"Peg" writes: if you cannot understand my explanation, then you dont need to rephrase your question.

killinghurts writes:I understand your explanation, but the explanation was not the answer to my question. It was mindless jabber, an obvious attempt to avoid the question.

hotjer writes:They started to know about good and evil and became like God

hotjer writes:Why do you propose it; it is not like it is a bad explanation?
