well like i said, many do not believe the tree had special properties that imparted anything to them. The tree merely represented Gods rulership. When they acted out of harmony with Gods law, they became alienated from him, cut off from their source of knowledge and thus they had begun to make decisions without Gods approval.
the knowledge of God was no longer a part of their understanding because they had alienated themselves from God who was the source of their knowledge. Now they were relying on themselves and they had to make up their own laws and standards...the first one of which was to cover their nakedness.
Yet the Bible contradicts everything you've said here and they've pointed it out to you... Should I take the Bible literally or should I listen to peg's none literal interpretation of the Bible?
