No wonder if you are lost when you add so much own meanings to Bible scriptures.

That was straight from the Bible. God warns Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

That scripture doesn"t say the knowledge was put into that tree. By eating the fruit, they could get the knowledge, because then they see what it means to be without God.

The knowledge of good and evil was put in the tree. God warns Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because it would end his innocence. He would become like God knowing good and evil. That is exactly what happened.

Genesis 3: 22 And the Lord God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side[e] of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

If you knew your scriptures you would know eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil was how tge became like Gid knowing good and evil.

Genesis 3:

The Fall
3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, "You must not eat from any tree in the garden"?"

2 The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, "You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.""

4 "You will not certainly die," the serpent said to the woman. 5 "For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

And what they did was acquire the knowledge of good and evil. The bible is full of attempts by God to teach man the difference between good and evil. He even sent prophets and his own son Jesus to teach man what was good and what was evil. But Adam and Eve having been punished by God for acquiring the knowledge of good and evil created a genetic revulsion and avoidance for such knowledge. Any wonder why the Jews resisted the prophets and Jesus because they saw this as another trap to force them to learn what was good and evil only to be punished again like Adam and Eve.

Bible says the reason why Jesus came was this:

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, Because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim release to the captives, Recovering of sight to the blind, To deliver those who are crushed, And to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."
Luke 4:18-19

But we know that was not what the people were threatening Jesus with stoning for. Jesus was also making blasphemous claims.

John 10:33 "We are not stoning you for any good work," they replied, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."

I rather believe what the Bible tells than you.

The bible has failed scientific scrutiny. Archeological discoveries demolishes the Bible proving the characters in the bible were fictional character. There was no Exodus. The kingdom of David and Solomon was just some tiny little cow town. Even Jesus was a deluded Jewish rabbi who was crucified by the Romans.

And you believe that because you say so and everything you say must be true because you says so?

Most biblical scholars agree what over time has proven to be sound exegesis and hermeneutics. I am just presenting what biblical scholars agree are contradictions that are resolved by other fields like archeology and historical context.

I don't know. I know an atheist who tells me he is Jewish and I'm like, how is that even possible(?) He's looking at me like it's a stupid question and I'm pretty much thinking the same because how can you be Jewish and an atheist unless he married and atheist maybe. There might be some wiggle room there if God starts asking about it.

You should be surprised there aren't most Jews turning atheist after 1500 years of persecution and expulsion. If God picked a people that wouldn't quit on him he picked right when he picked the Jews. Too bad you are a holocaust denier.

Unfortunately he picked on the wrong people since they deserted him and his true worship centuries ago. That is why he let Israel disappear from the face of the earth centuries before Christ was born, and the current "Israel" is a fake.

The Jews have always proven to be as "stiff-necked" as the nation which spawned then, Israel. They refuse to accept their error, and refuse to accept the fulfilment of prophecies contained in their own word.

basically, as they have since Israel rejected their God from being king over them in the days of the prophet Samuel, continued to say to God "our way or no way". They even forced the Romans to put his only begotten son to death in his human form by blackmailing Pilate, threatening to cause him trouble with his masters in Rome, who were somewhat dubious about him anyway.

It's all there in their own scrolls, and yet they treat them as meaningless. How can they possibly believe that God could smile on them?

Despite Satan's attempts to pervert it, there is a truly modern day Israel on this earth, but it is not the one people thin of as a nation, it is now known as Jehovah's Witnesses.

The only thing the Jews have not quit on is trying to tell God what to do instead of doing what he wants them to.

Look what you did with their religion. You used it to justify your 4 divorces,you used it to justify abandoning your 3 children, you got disfellowshipped and shunned when Jehovah's earthly organization found out how depraved you were. You used their religion to attract sexually immoral Filipino women. How much lower can you get?

He didn't have what he wanted, he had two humans who had sinned.

It is only a sin if the two knew what they were doing was wrong. They had no concept of good and evil before they ate the fruit.

God said in short "hey, see this? do not eat it". They understood language and were commandable, god even said to name the animals. They weren't idiots. They could understand the concept of good and bad.

How many animal nanes are found in Bible named by Adam? Adam couldn't even follow a simple order like don't eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

The bible isn't going to say what he named them, just that he did. He didn't follow it because he failed to not sin. He just failed. I can create complex formulas and i can still sin.

Note God said if they ate the fruit they would die. But they didn't have the concept of death either because they were the first human creation.

God wouldn't say if you eat this you will die if they didn't understand "die".

They were living in the Garden of Eden where no death was possible or had ever occurred. It even had the tree of life to grant immorality. Remember they were the first humans created.

Stop repeating that, that argument has fallen.

Most people don't know what death is even today. Is it the final resting place? Is death the beginning of the after life? What about the cycle of rebirths? What about entering Paradise upon death? Death is very abstract.

Death is when something dies. What you carry it to is afterlife skepticalness.

Except that if you had the slightest knowledge of scripture you would know that Jesus never claimed to be God, that was simply another Pharisaic lie, which you are incapable of recognising for what it is.

That claim of the Pharisees was no more true than the claim that Jesus taught subversion.

No, the Bible has not failed scientific scrutiny, that is another lie that many have fallen for.

In fact in the few areas that the Bible touches on science they agree 100%, apart from the obvious mistranslation of Genesis 1:14, which states an impossibility since the sun moon and stars were only created once, in verse 1.

The only thing that happened at the stage verse 14 describes,the only thing that was possible, was that they became visible from the earth's surface.

And you believe that because you say so and everything you say must be true because you says so?

Again, god wouldn't say a word they wouldn't understand. For example, would you be talking to someone and throw a word in they don't know knowing they don't know it? No.

I have not used scripture or the faith of the JWs to justify any such thing, however I have pointed out that I was divorced for adultery ...

He didn't have what he wanted, he had two humans who had sinned.

It is only a sin if the two knew what they were doing was wrong. They had no concept of good and evil before they ate the fruit.

God said in short "hey, see this? do not eat it". They understood language and were commandable, god even said to name the animals. They weren't idiots. They could understand the concept of good and bad.

How many animal nanes are found in Bible named by Adam? Adam couldn't even follow a simple order like don't eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

The bible isn't going to say what he named them, just that he did. He didn't follow it because he failed to not sin. He just failed. I can create complex formulas and i can still sin.

That is why the Bible doesn't make sense. It does even meet the educational standards of a grade four level. After studying the bible you still cannot name the animals or prove trees possess the knowledge of good and evil or even the ability to offer immortality.

That isn't what the bible teaches, it has a purpose, not to educate modernly though, not sure where this came from.

Did God expect man to remain in the stone or Bronze Age? That is why the bible is less relevant today.

Yet God punished Adam and Eve because he believed in the nonsense he created.

If we are assuming this happened then what makes anything nonsence?

That is the belief of 2 billion Christians who believe God believed the nonsense He created. But Adam, Eve and the talking serpent ignored God and lived to tell their story.

Note God said if they ate the fruit they would die. But they didn't have the concept of death either because they were the first human creation.

God wouldn't say if you eat this you will die if they didn't understand "die".

They were living in the Garden of Eden where no death was possible or had ever occurred. It even had the tree of life to grant immorality. Remember they were the first humans created.

Stop repeating that, that argument has fallen.

God talked to Adam and Eve in the same language he used on the talking serpent. That was how confused God was, he could not tell the difference between a serpent and Humans. Why? Because creation was very new to Him too.

After creating Adam and Eve. God tells them they can eat from any tree in the garden except one.

Genesis 2:17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die."

What happens when they disobey God and eat the forbidden fruit?

Genesis 3:22 And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life firever.

They become like him and now he does not want them to live forever.

So what does God do? He punishes Adam and Eve for disobeying him.

Genesis 3: 14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals. You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring[a] and hers; he will crush[b] your head, and you will strike his heel."
16 To the woman he said, "I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."
17 To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, "You must not eat from it," "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life.
18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your foo until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken for dust you are and to dust you will return."

The rest of the bible is about God sending prophets to teach the people what is good and evil and laws they should obey. Why?

Odd that God is asking them to learn the difference between good and evil when he punished Adam and Eve for eating the forbidden fruit because they were desirous of gaining wisdom of good and evil. God was against them learning then in the Garden. Now he sends prophets to teach them and wonders why they are reluctant to learn forgetting he punished them when they wanted to learn.

Genesis 3:6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

Because Adam and Eve gained the knowledge and became like Him, God did not want them to also live forever. So he banished them from the garden and had angels guard the tree of life.

So why did he send his only begotten son Jesus?

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

But it was God who took away the tree of life so they would not live forever. Now he is offering Jesus to restore what he took away from them Ie the tree of life.

God suffers from circular reasoning/logic. The bible only makes sense if you suffer from the same condition.
Circular reasoning (Latin: circulus in probando, "circle in proving"; also known as circular logic) is a logical fallacy in which the reasoner begins with what they are trying to end with. The components of a circular argument are often logically valid because if the premises are true, the conclusion must be true.

In short, God is trying to restore his creation back to Paradise which he took away from Adam and Eve for disobeying him by desiring what he wanted them to learn anyways.
