As i read i went to a chapter called
The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
What i read in the story is the following!
The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
What i read in the story is the following!
1. After God perfectly sets the above stage for Adam and Eve and literally gives them everything under the sun, He tells them that there is now one thing that they cannot do. He specifically tells them that they can eat of every single tree that is in this garden - with the exception of one tree. This one tree was called the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil."
Think about this. God makes this test that they both had to pass for the future implication of all mankind as easy as He possibly could. He tells them that all they have to do is stay off of this one tree. He tells them that they can literally eat from every other tree that is in this garden.
The Bible does not tell us how many other trees were in this garden - but I bet there were thousands of them. All they had to do was to obey God’s direct command to stay off of this one tree - and they would have eventually passed the test - and all of us could have been born into this perfect God environment. But they blew it big time - not only for themselves - but also for the rest of mankind that was to follow.
In addition to telling them not to eat any fruit that was on this one tree, God allowed one other thing to occur in this setup. He allowed Satan himself to be able to roam in this garden in the form of a serpent - knowing full well that Satan would try and tempt them to disobey His direct command to the both of them not to eat any fruit off of this one forbidden tree.
So God sits back and watches this scenario unfold. Will Adam and Eve listen to and abide by God’s direct command not to eat any fruit off of this one tree - or are they going to allow themselves to be duped by the devil?
2. As we all know, they eventually fell for Satan’s lies. Satan first targets Eve, telling her that she will be like God if she eats the fruit off of this one forbidden tree. He tells her that she will have God’s knowledge of good and evil if she partakes of it.
After Eve trespasses and eats some of the fruit off of this forbidden tree, she then turns to Adam and convinces him to do the same thing. Adam then proceeds to eat some of the same fruit and once both of them have eaten off of this tree - an amazing thing then happens!
Before they had eaten off of this forbidden tree, the Bible tells us that they literally were allowed to run naked in this garden. They had no shame in doing this. They were as innocent and pure as little children. Until they had transgressed by eating off of this one forbidden tree, they had no sin in their lives.
When they ate off of this forbidden tree, they had committed their first sin against God - and what happened after they did? The Bible tells us that their eyes were "opened" and they "knew" that they were naked. They then proceeded to sew some fig leaves together so they could cover their nakedness.
Why all of a sudden would they want to cover their nakedness when they had been running around totally naked in this garden for who knows how long before this transgression took place? I believe the main reason was due to the fact that shame, guilt and condemnation immediately set in the minute they committed their first sin and transgression against God.
The minute this shame, guilt and condemnation set in as a result of committing their first sin against God - they lost all of their childlike innocence and purity. And once they lost all of their childlike innocence and purity, they then became self-conscious of their nakedness and then had to make an attempt to try and cover it up.
3. Why was it so bad that Adam and Eve ate the fruit off of this forbidden tree? It was just fruit. The Bible says that they could tell that the fruit on it was good for food and that it was very pleasant to the eyes. So what was so bad about eating this fruit besides disobeying a direct command from God not to eat of it? What did this fruit represent?
Besides disobeying a direct command from God the Father, I believe there was another reason that God did not want them eating any fruit off of this one tree. The clue is in what the tree was called - "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."
The Bible tells us that God wants us to be "simple concerning evil." In other words, He doesn't want us crossing over any lines to experiment with, to test out, or to engage in any type of sinful activity - not even one time!
Instead of fruit being on this tree, imagine that there was a bag of pot, a bag of cocaine or a bag of heroin. God’s original plan and design for all of us was that we not even attempt to experiment, even one time, with anything that is sinful such as some of the above items. The Bible says that the wages of sin is death.
Once you cross over the line even one time to try and smoke pot, shoot up heroin or snort cocaine - you now have the knowledge of something that is sinful and evil because you have now ingested it - you have now taken it in - you have now officially tried it out. That is why this tree was called the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil."
God’s original plan and design for man was that man not have the "knowledge" of evil by engaging in it! Once you engage or enter into a specific sin - you now have the "knowledge" of it. That is why death resulted when Adam and Eve ate the fruit off of this forbidden tree.
So now Adam and Eve will have to face the consequences of transgressing against God by eating off of this one forbidden tree.

When i got done i read the consequences what our lord did for them eating from the FORBIDDEN TREE!
I think you guyz should know all of this!Please if you would like to join the bible study go to my clubs and add yourself thank you!
The Consequences
As a result of transgressing against the Lord, Adam and Eve lost it all. Here are the specifics of what they lost. Study these very carefully, as these consequences had implications for all humans to follow - including all Christians who are now living under the new covenant with Jesus!

1. Banishment From the Garden of Eden
The first thing that happens is that God tells the both of them that they will now be banished from this perfect garden. God also says that there was a second tree in this garden called the tree of life - and had they eaten from this tree, that they would have lived forever.

Since they flunked their test with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they were not permitted to eat from this tree of life. The Bible says in Genesis 3:23:
"... therefore the Lord sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken."
The implication seems to be that had they passed their test with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, that they would have eventually been able to eat from the tree of life - and had they done so, they would have lived forever. They would have never known physical death.
This account with their first test then ends with Genesis 3:24 stating:
"So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life."
Cherubim is one of God’s high-ranking angels. Adam and Eve had forever lost their one and only chance to eat from this tree of life and to live forever in this perfect God environment.
2. The Earth Is Now Cursed
In addition to banishing both of them out of this garden, God now pronounces a curse on them, their descendants, and on the earth in general.
In addition to banishing both of them out of this garden, God now pronounces a curse on them, their descendants, and on the earth in general.
God tells Eve that she will still be able to bear children, but that she will bear children in pain. The implication seems to be that had they passed this test, that Eve could have bore children without any pain. This part of the curse not only applied to her, but to all future women that would be born after her that would also have children.
God then tells Adam that he will have to work and sweat for his food. God tells Adam in Genesis 3:17-19:
"CURSED is the ground for your sake; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life ... in the sweat of your face you shall eat bread."
Adam and everyone to follow will now have to "toil" and "sweat" in order to put food on their table. This is why the world is set up where everyone has to work in some fashion. No work - no money. No money - no food.
This curse also explains why many of the bad things keep occurring on this earth. As a result of sinning against God, death now enters into the big picture. Adam and Eve, and all humans to follow, will now have to undergo aging and eventually the death of our physical bodies. All of our physical bodies will now corrupt and die and return to the ground from which God made Adam.
As a result of our physical bodies now being open and subject to the death process, this now opens up our bodies to all kinds of sicknesses, diseases, illnesses, ailments, aging and corruption. This is exactly why we have suffering, disease and sickness in our earthly lives - all because of the curse of Adam and Eve.
Our earthly lives now have a mixture of both life and death. Some people live long lives, others do not. Some people get cancer, others do not. Some people become victims of crime, others do not.
Since death is now a part of our earthly lives as a result of this Adamic curse - we never know when something bad may happen to anyone of us at any time. We all know we are going to eventually die, but we have no idea when or how we are going to die.
Life in general now becomes very uncertain, as we never know what is going to happen next - whether it be good or bad. This is why all Christians need to be walking in a full surrender with God the Father and have the Blood of Jesus pled on their bodies, their homes, their cars and all of their loved ones.
God’s last statement when pronouncing this curse on Adam and Eve and the world in general is as follows:
"In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for dust you are, and to dust you shall return." (Genesis 3:19)
As a result of what happened in their story, we all have to be born into this cursed and fallen world before we can make it into heaven after being saved and born again - no exceptions. In this cursed world, we also have Satan and all of his demons being allowed to interact with us trying to cause as much havoc and destruction as they can before Jesus comes back for the second time to set up His millennium kingdom.
We also have bad and evil unsaved people being allowed to a certain degree to also wreak as much havoc and destruction as they can before they die - hence we are all stuck with wars, murders, robberies, rapes, muggings, abductions, scams, cheating, infidelity, etc. The local news on an everyday basis will tell you how bad things can really get. Whether we want to realize it or not, we have all been born into a war zone as a result of the curse of Adam and Eve that is still in full operation on this earth.
This is why the Bible tells us that we have to learn how to become good soldiers in Jesus Christ, that we have to fight the good fight of faith, and that we have to be overcomers in this life. Life is rough, and it is only through God's grace, protection and guidance can we make it through this life in one piece before we finally die and cross over to be with Him for all of eternity.
So Adam and Eve not only blew it for themselves, but they blew it for the rest of humanity as well. However, it is my own personal opinion, that not just Adam and Eve flunked their test with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but I feel that the same thing would have happened if God would allowed them to have children and then put them to the same test. I feel that a good portion of humanity, if not possibly all of us, would have also flunked this same test if presented with the same scenario.
This is why the Bible says that all men and women have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God. If there is one thing that we can all admit to - is that we are all flawed sinners to some degree and to some extent. We are not perfect. We all have character flaws and imperfections within our personalities.
As a result of this sin nature that we have all born into this world with - we have all become sinners in the eyes of God. The Bible tells us that there is none of us that appear truly righteous and sin-free before the eyes of God.
God’s original plan for all humans is that we not sin and that we would obey all of His direct commandments and instructions. He wanted us to have never tasted the fruit of any kind of sin. But Adam and Eve set the stage as to how all humans would react to this initial setup. They could not abide by God’s specific commands and instructions - so now God is forced to go to plan B.
And thank God there was a plan B, or we would have all been lost forever as a result of what happened in this story with Adam and Eve. This will now lead us into the next topic.

Conclusion
To really understand what it means to be saved and born again, each Christian needs to know and fully understand what had occurred in the story of Adam and Eve.
To really understand what it means to be saved and born again, each Christian needs to know and fully understand what had occurred in the story of Adam and Eve.
The story of Adam and Eve, and the story of Jesus coming to our earth in the flesh to be crucified for all of our sins in order to bring us back to God Himself, are like two puzzle pieces that perfectly fit side by side with one another.
The story of Adam and Eve tells us how everything began and why things are the way they are today - all because we are still living under the curse they had brought upon this earth as a result of their one transgression against the Lord.
The story of Adam and Eve then sets the stage for the greatest story that will ever be told - the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to our earth in the flesh to save us and deliver us from our sins and our lost condition that arose out of the story of Adam and Eve.
Had God the Father not sent His Son Jesus down to our earth to be crucified for all of our sins and our lost condition - we would all still be living in this lost condition with no chance of ever being able to make it into heaven after we die and cross over.
With Jesus literally being willing to die on a cross in order to get us back to Himself and His Father - we not only get to go to heaven when we die and cross over, but we also get our inside spiritual connection once more restored back to both God and Jesus since we all receive the Holy Spirit at the moment of our salvation.
This is something we get immediately. We don’t have to wait until we get to heaven. We receive the Holy Spirit at the moment we are saved and born again - and it is by, in, and through the Holy Spirit that we all now have a direct access and a direct spiritual connection back to both God and Jesus.
However, what we don’t get is the stoppage of the aging process and the eventual deaths of our physical bodies. The Bible tells us that the last enemy that will be conquered will be death.
1. The Bible tells us that Eve became the mother of all the living. So if Adam and Eve were the first man and first woman to get the ball rolling in reference to starting the world’s population - how did they do this?
Most Bible scholars are in agreement that the only way this could have occurred is if the sons and daughters that Adam and Eve initially had were allowed to have sexual relations with one another. There is absolutely no other way that this could have occurred. The gene pool would not have been contaminated at this early stage.
However, as you get further into the Old Testament, God ends up prohibiting any incestuous relations among any family members. However, in order to get the ball rolling off of this one man and one woman, God had to initially allow the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve to have sexual relations with one another in order to get things going.
2. The Bible then says that Adam lived to a ripe old age of 930 years. However, the Bible does not tell us how long Eve had lived for.
The story of Adam and Eve needs to be fully understood by every Christian in order to understand who we really are in Christ and why things are the way they are in the world we now live in.
