Emne: Re: The prohibition was specific to a knowledge of good and evil. In other words, the prohibition against gaining this knowledge wasn't a prohibition against all other forms of knowledge.

Iamon lyme: I need to correct myself again. God did not present us with this choice. He didn't say choose between this and that. The choice (doing something else) was presented by someone else.

So, who was this someone else.

Everything was fine and dandy with creation until 'something' (something that did have, or had the potential to have, free will) in it thought of elevating himself into a higher position. Evil did not begin with God, it began with something in his creation that could exercise free will.

God COULD have created everything with nothing in it having free will, but then we wouldn't be here talking about it. There would be no discussion about this. Everything, including us, would be blindly following Gods orders.

So what do you think? Did God make a mistake? Is free will the culprit... is it the fly in His ointment?
