God said: "Man has become like us, knowing good and evil"....and because of this they were expelled from the garden.
Was this an Oops moment? Does this indicate that god did not mean for man to have reasoning capability? I wonder why?
Genesis (Message Bible)
22 God said, "The Man has become like one of us, capable of knowing everything, ranging from good to evil. What if he now should reach out and take fruit from the Tree-of-Life and eat, and live forever? Never—this cannot happen!"
I think it's more of an uh-uh moment in the sense that He simply won't tolerate some things.
Look here:
Genesis 11: 6 -9 God took one look and said, "One people, one language; why, this is only a first step. No telling what they'll come up with next—they'll stop at nothing! Come, we'll go down and garble their speech so they won't understand each other." Then God scattered them from there all over the world. And they had to quit building the city. That's how it came to be called Babel, because there God turned their language into "babble." From there God scattered them all over the world. MSG

that one also boiled my noodle. if we didnt know good an evil before the fruit, how the hell was we supposed to know if it was good or evil to eat them, and if so, did god not just ask them of blind fait? strange stuff...
The story was quite clearly written by autistic hebrew dipshits.
What's really sad is that people actually believe that that happened.
