Bible Common Sense: Outcomes From Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil

 

[Bible Common Sense]
What are outcomes from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

 

 

The heaven and earth that God created are everlasting. The sun, moon, stars, clouds, and winds are also eternal. The living things on the earth, however, have limited life spans. According to the Bible, God created people in his image and likeness (Gen 1:26-27). These people God created are God’s children, but can also be called gods (Psa 82:6; Acts 17:29).

 

People (Adam and Eve) became mortal because they ate the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which the serpent gave them. After this, God shortened the lifespan of his sons, making them mortal (Gen 3:19; Gen 6:1-3). This was why Apostle Paul pointed out that although death came through the first man, Adam, life comes through the second man, Jesus Christ (1 Cor 15:21-22).

 

 

Outcomes From the Tree of the

Knowledge of Good and Evil

These are the two potential outcomes for all people: life or death, depending on whether we eat from the tree of life given by God or from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil given by the devil (Gen 2:9; Gen 2:17; Gen 3:22; Jn 14:6). Just as Apostle Paul testified (1 Cor 15:26; 1 Cor 15:51-54), God’s work on earth since Adam’s fall is to get rid of death and to give eternal life back to his creation (Rev 20:12-15; Rev 21:3-4).


The seminaries and pastors of the world neither know God’s will nor do they know the Bible because God has not revealed either one to them (Isa 29:9-13; Rev 5:1-3). It is not their fault that they do not understand the true meaning of the Bible. On the other hand, anyone who falsely interprets the Bible (2 Pet 3:16), that person does not know God’s will and is behaving arrogantly. Before the book is opened, it could only be taught according to men’s rules, but once it is opened, from that time on it should not be taught according to men’s rules. If Adam had sinned by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, would he have died and returned to dust (Gen 3:19)?
