Why you should eat Biblical apple

[Cisairse]

I like apples.

I don't, they are sour and hard to deal with.

If you core & chop them, you can just eat the slices one by one.

[Elsa De Arendelle]

Adam and Eve were not children though. They were grown adults, and had no belly button. They had access to all the knowledge and wisdom of God. It's similar to people who are addicted to drugs have all the wisdom and knowledge of the ills of drugs but still continue to take them. It is willful sin.

Did they know good form evil, if not then how where they any different from children?

Except no, they actually didn't.

I eat Apple. Fruits are healthy.

Everyone wants to become all powerful but they still can't create anything of value. They will die like mere mortals. Only through obedience will you have all you wanted and more permanently.

Nah. Knowledge shouldn be limited to self-declared gods. I like to bring the fire to the people. And.. i want my cut.

God only has good will for us. And Adam and Eve were perfect. They were not mindless brutes. They were the greatest minds that ever lived. The best of all the genes, the highest IQ, and the greatest aesthetics. Eve was more beautiful than even Elsa from Frozen. Without God, they are nothing.

Obviously not or else he wouldn have banejected them from "his" hydroponic garden.

Huh, maybe. I always bite them like they do in Disney movies (ofc I peeled the skin first)

Knowledge and wisdom without God leads to misery and existential futility. That is the ultimate lesson God was trying to teach Adam and Eve. Today, New Age-become-your-very-own-Christ is the new religion. It is all selfish. Everyone wants to become all powerful but they still can't create anything of value.

The lie would be everything that Satan said to Eve, such as the idea that she would become like God and know good and evil when she ate the fruit.

It was never about "knowing yourself." It was about bringing evil and suffering into the world.

Genesis 3:22 Now the Lord God said, "Behold man has become like one of us, having the ability of knowing good and evil, and now, lest he stretch forth his hand and take also from the Tree of Life and eat and live forever."

The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’” Genesis 3:2-3

Well that and, humans could have been immortal if they ate from the tree of life...

You can do that (You don't have to peel the skin, though, it's tasty and nutritious!) but I often find them easier to eat chopped.

Protip! Get a cup of peanut butter and dip the apple slice in it before you eat it.

And to the freedom of choice argument, it's not freedom of choice if you aren't given the consequences of your choice upfront.

'You can stay here with me and you'll be happy and fed or you can go through that door'
'What's through the door?'
'I'll leave this evil talking snake to explain'..

It's clearly just a children's story invented as to why children should obey their parents.

God kicked them out so they would not eat from the tree of life and become gods. God himself admitted that since they ate from the tree of good and evil humans had become like gods. Also...there was not death in the garden, so how exactly are they supposed to understand hat it means to die? Your quote does not change that the snake spoke truth

But that's literally the best part...

Fake outer space. No one is going anywhere. Just a movie set and CGI.

They tried to become like gods, and that was their sin. That was why they could not stay in the garden. And they knew enough to want to avoid death, so I think they understood it.

Your "god" is from outer space. And the Garden Eden was, if existed at all, likely some sort of space based hydroponic experimental research installation.

Not a sin, just part of growing up.

And god admitted that by eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge they actually had become like gods (exactly like the snake told them they would), and kicked them out so they did not become truly immortal and so complete the process.
The only reason humans in that story died is because god did not allow them to eat the fruit of the tree of life. I wonder what would have happened if they ate that first and then from the tree of knowledge.
There is no evidence that they knew enough to want to avoid it.

Trying to become like a god is a sin. It's the opposite of humility and it's idolatry.

The point was the snake did not lie. And since Adam and Eve did not know good from evil, they had no way to know that trying to become like a god is an evil thing

[Mandicoria]

mmmm apple.... delicious.....

[Elsa De Arendelle]

"There is no evidence that they knew enough to want to avoid it."

Notice God never telling Eve that you are not allowed to touch it, yet Eve added extra words to God's instructions. Eve's IQ is probably higher than Albert Einstein's, so she knows exactly what the repercussions would be - something really bad.

Yes she was smart and cunning. Much like her predecessor who also got banejected for albeit different reason.

I had no idea you thought so highly of idolatry, perhaps there is merit to it after all.
I've always considered Taghut a title of virtue.
