Importance of Original Sin

Here's what God said:He didn't have to have knowledge of good or evil to not eat of the tree. He was instructed not to eat from it. Nope, Adam didn't know what evil was, but God did. That's why he(God) told him not eat of the tree. It was a simple command. God commanded the man not to eat of the tree. Adam had to take Gods word for it. It's like when a mother says to a 4 yr old, don't touch the stove or you will get burned. The kid touches it, why? Because the kid doesn't know what burned means.Just like Adam didn't know what evil meant. It doesn't change the fact that the parent knew what was right and the child disobeyed.

It's not like God was some dude just walking by and said "yo, Adam, hey what's up? Don't eat from the tree of good and evil cause you'll, you know, die. Oh and keep a heads up for that snake too. BTW, where are your parents and do they know your out this late?".They knew God was their Father. Just like we know who our parents are. We as kids were taught not to go with strangers. It is drilled into kids heads these days, and rightly so.Are you going around telling all the kids that you can't understand why they aren't jumping into the cars of strangers?God/Father God, told His kids that it wouldn't benefit them to eat of the tree. They knew God their Father told them this and disobeyed. It's not Gods fault. It was a simple command.Edited by Chuck77, : No reason given.
