God's desire was for them to remain pure and innocent, just as would be the desire of any father for his children.  The tree was there to give them a choice.  We always have a choice to make.  If eating the fruit of that tree gave you the ability to know good from evil, what else would you call it? ================================================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 12/5/2005 6:15:11 A.M.

Blainerb:  If it is all so cut and dried, then answer this question:  Why was the sinful fruit hanging on a tree called the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil?   And, another question--why would God not want them to partake of the fruit of that tree?
