God knew the difference between right and wrong without partaking the fruit, whereas A&E did not. > >From my perspective, God cannot sin, neither can he tempt man (James > 1:13).

DAVEH: I would ask you who put the tree of good and evil in the garden, and why did they put it there? Yes, Satan was the tempter (not God) of A&E, but there must have been a good reason why God put the tree there knowing what the end result would be. It wasn't like God didn't know whether or not Adam would partake of the fruit. > Therefore, there seems to be a problem with your perspective that Adam > and Eve did not sin when they partook of the fruit.
