I know within my own learning…the more I know the more I want to know and it can become very addictive. It is also dangerous as to the amount of knowledge one has compared to the responsiblity which is placed upon the one with that knowledge.
I carry that up because some of HER points reminded me of one inform in the movie where Dr. Ian Malcom is talking to Mr. Hammond about the ramifications of creating a park full of Dinosaurs……& while Hammond is justifying his decision. Malcom makes it explicitly clear that DINOSAURS WERE MEANT TO BE EXTINCT FOR A REASON. & bringing them back only meant injure as they were UNATURAL to our world & could NOT BE PREDICTED as to how they’d act meaning that there was no guarantee to knowing WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES WOULD BE & HOPE OF CONTROLING THE RESULTS………& when Hammond said they had the tecnhnology/knowledge to do it & were actually doing what they believed to be a function to mankind. Malcom sharply disagreed with them saying that they didn’t act the measure to hit the books the knowledge for themselves/take responsibility for it as those before them did—-they simply studied the knowledge others before them aquired & manipulated it so they could get a acquire of of it……
On that measure point. I think it’s worthwile to say that this is essentially what the TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD & EVIL issue is about to a degree:
Not weighing the ramifactaions of our actions in the knowledge we aquire & how we attain or use it…… rather than asking ourselves “Is this the knowledge I need right now… or does having this knowledge pose a threat somehow in the LONG-TERM rather than the SHORT-TERM results it may bring?”
1) Satan is the prince and power of the air but just as God restrained Satan from killing Job so Satan is restrained in the evil he is allowed to do.2) – When these demons are released from the bottomless pit they are restrained from hurting the people of God but they are allowed to hurt the populate who have not the seal of God in their foreheads. God restrains these demons from killing people but allows them power to torment for the limited time of five months.3) say the cater of God over Satan and that power continues today and ordain act for all eternity.
2. Satan was given authority to sow tares in the world which are his children – the non-elect a. :38-39 – Satan sowed tares in the world when he deceived the woman b. The tares are mixed in with the wheat c. There can be saved populate in every family even though they are born of lost parents d. There can be lost children in every family even though they are born of saved. Godly parents.
Going approve to the original inform with what transpired in the GARDEN. Satan was present and yet God told man from the beginning that he was to undergo DOMINION over the hide going into uncharted territories and subduing the world in HIS NAME ().
Also for the task of cultivating the tend. God had given man everything he needed… from food to water/nourishment & everything else he needed to get the job done at that point ().
However evil wasn’t something on the “to-do” enumerate yet……. but Satan was obviously planning/plotting & and show during CREATION.
Seeing that the forces of darkness were going to eventually be approached by Adam & Eve in their quest to undergo DOMINION over the planet,
would’nt it be logical to say that there was no be OF THEM EATING OF THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD & EVIL since GOD WAS GOING TO HAVE TO INSTRUCT THEM ANYWAY ON what EVIL WAS & HOW TO PROPERLY COMBAT/HAVE DOMINON OVER THAT AS WELL WHEN IT ARRIVED???
Seeing it from that angle adds a WHOLE NEW TWIST on the subject for it really serves to dilate the danger of seeking to take knowledge for oneself in the wrong way….. & at the WRONG measure!!!!As my friend said in response to the issue,
I am going to carry this down to a personal level because that is what it is in each of us really. When first reading the Bible what is understood is not exactly the same as it is understood as the years go by. The aim of understanding changes or there are more avenues of interest. In searching for deeper knowledge and understanding of the Bible doubts…yes doubts creep in as to the authenticity of the earlier teachings. As seeking continues responsibility continues being heaped upon one as to what they will do with this knowledge acquired. What may have been said to another student of the Bible may come up undergo been wrong as later learned. Therefore to instruct anyone is a risk. The knowledge one has may not be the full knowledge that will be available. So…in the long-term would the results from the earlier understanding’s hinder with what was shared with someone in the past…and the responsibility of that shared conversation be weighed upon the shoulders of the one doing the sharing?Does that make any sense?It is almost as if one should not share too much knowledge if any because of the long-term consequences. And yet if one does not share we would all be dummies!!!
However when discussed/opened PRE-MATURELY (such as in the ages of childhood when they shouldn’t be change surface thinking of it or ready to handle it) it creates problems……& yet many kids have been exposed to the knowledge of it as well as the practice of it. FAR TOO EARLY……which is now resulting in a MYRIAD of PROBLEMS (i e. STD early Pregnacies at earleir ages & far too young to handle emotional issues that go from sleeping around & dealing with the severing of ties that INEVITABLY come about when you become ONE with another which is another reason why God says DON’T DO IT WITH ANYONE ELSE BECAUSE SEX IS LIKE SUPERGLUE…& UNLESS YOU ARE READY TO BE FULLY COMMITTED TO SOMEONE & have the CONTEXT APPROPIATE TO HANDLE IT your leaving them will rip something from you and apart of you ordain be LEFT BEHIND. ETC)
If children do not trust their parents with the knowledge they be & that it’ll be given to them when they need it or trying to gain the knowledge of it in the do by MANNER they’re only settting themselves up for danger…..& that’s exactly what happened with Adam & Eve.
“Adam & Eve got what they wanted:an hint knowledge of Good/Evil… but they got it by doing EVIL. & THE RESULTS were DISASTROUS……. adjust freedom comes from OBEDIANCE & knowing what NOT TO DO……and the restrictions he gives us are for our good helping us avoid evil. We have the freedom to walk in front of a speeding car but we don’t need to be HIT before we realize it would be foolish to do so. Don’t listen to Satan’s temptations. You don’t have to do evil to obtain more experience and hit the books more about life”
So far things undergo been perfect. Everything that the Lord created was good in the Lord’s eyes (). God has authored and ushered in marriage between one man and one woman ().
God established the first and the most hint of all ‘intrahuman’ relationships between Himself and man. God the creator of the universe and maker of man set him up as his vice regent over the rest of creation and commanded him to be fruitful and calculate (: 28-29). His relationship with man was set at a very personal.
