This might be a silly speculation; nonetheless I want to ask what you guys think about these thoughts.
In Genesis; when Adam and Eve eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge their eyes are open and they know good from evil, however, to me all of this seems kind of fishy in the first place.
Adam and Eve did not know good from evil: right from wrong before they ate fruit from the tree of knowledge, but they were told not to eat from it, however; how should they know it was wrong to disobey the LORD God?
To me it seems like we can ask the question "how did they know it was wrong/evil to (...) and eat the forbidden fruit?" forever. Looks like a Paradox to me.
These speculations also started some thoughts on why gold is good, why it is bad to be naked (why should they be ashamed?) etc. but my question is:
How did Adam and Eve know good from evil before they ate the fruit?
I look forward to hearing from you
