What is God’s Heaven or plan at the end? Would you like it?

Since it's so "literal," I'm sure you would not mind pointing it out to me? Chapter? Verse? Nah... I think it's more of the grieving you have when you build a crooked bookshelf, and all the books slide out the back end of it. Please, point this one out to me. I'm looking over Genesis 1:28”

quote:

---

Gen 1:28 -- And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

---

Yes, he tells them to go out and multiply; but he never commands them to learn of good and evil. In fact, he forbids it when he tells them not to eat of the tree of "the knowledge of good and evil."

quote:

---

Gen 2:17 -- But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, though shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

---

Later on, God demonstrates his frustration at the man and woman knowing of good and evil, further evidence that he would never have encouraged them to learn it:

quote:

---

Gen 3:22 -- Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever"” (23) therefore the LORD God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken.

Unless you have some verses to show otherwise, I'd say you're severely off course.JonEdited by Jon, : Punctuation

You've really never read the Bible, have you?

John 17:5 -- And now, glorify Me along with Yourself, Father, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

And”

quote:

John 1:1 -- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (2) He was in the beginning with God.
...
(14) And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Christ existed with God before the world came into existence”long before Mary. Whether it makes sense or not, I'm not sure enough to say; it is, however, what it is: no time travel necessary.Jon

Revelations? That's all the way at the end of the book; how did it happen before anything else? What are you talking about?Genesis makes it very clear that after they ate of the tree God was P.I.S.S.E.D!!! More garbage. After they ate of the tree, they had the knowledge of good and evil”whether God liked it or not”, and when He sent them from the garden and gave them their punishments, He did so with that in mind.God told them not to eat the fruit! God was FURIOUS after they had done so! Because, the punishment for eating from the first tree was death. Had they been allowed immortality, they never would've taken God seriously. Kind of like when you tell your kids they'll get punished when they do something, they do it, and you don't punish them... pretty soon the little hooligans are walking all over you. No, if He were not pleased, He would see to it that we are all punished in the same way as Adam and Eve... oh look, WE ARE! That's the idea; if you want immortality, you have to earn it. Christ was sent here to show us how. Man would have lots of history; we would simply be unable to judge it to be good or evil. Just because something can be seen as good or evil does not mean that either good or evil must exist in order for the event to take place. Your causality is... all messed up.1st- Event happens
2nd- It is judged to be good or evilThey warned me not to start with you. I should've listened; you're f---ing insane!Jon

This is all irrelevant to the issue of whether or not God approved of the eating of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, whether or not He wanted humans to know the difference between good and evil, and if He was happy about it or not.So, again, point out where the Bible says God was tickled silly that humans suddenly had knowledge of good and evil.Thanks,
Jon
