One was not to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and the other was to be fruitful and multiply.</p>\n<p>At the time, Adam and Eve lived in a state of innocence. They were childlike in the sense that they did not know good from evil. They did not have experience with either. In such a state, they would have lived potentially forever that way, and would have never been able to fulfill or accomplish the other commandment of bringing children into the world.</p>\n<p>God very much wanted them to bring children into the world. That is an essential part of His plan for all of us. He also wanted them to discern good from evil. By setting up the two laws, and it so being that the one (replenishing the earth) could not be accomplished without breaking the other (eating of the fruit), Adam and Eve had to make a choice. And they chose knowledge over ignorance, and life over death.</p>\n<p>For whatever reason, perhaps because God is a perfect being and thus does not create beings of imperfection (we do that), Adam and Eve had to a) learn the difference between good and evil, and the way to do that was to consume the fruit, and b) having sinned or transgressed one of God's laws, become fallen, thus plunging the world from a paradisiacal state to a place where physical and spiritual death were introduced, and where children could be born.</p>\n<p>In the process, opposites, and opposition, which didn't really exist in any form up until The Fall, were introduced. Because they knew sorrow and pain, they could understand and more fully feel joy and pleasure. Because they had to sustain themselves by the sweat of their brow, rather than having a life sustaining garden, they were able to grow stronger, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Because they fell, they could make the conscious and willful choice to follow God, something they were incapable of doing before.</p>\n<p>So, in giving the commandments, God made it possible for Adam and Eve to actually become fully aware of both, and also have the agency or free will to choose between the two.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3kfuhyyq","appParentAuthor":"alaisguineasis","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
