Adam and Eve made a mistake

We are all familiar with Gen 2:

"And Lord God planted a garden..and there he put Adam...And the Lord God made grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food; the tree of life within the garden and also the tree of the knowledge of good and evil...And the Lord God commanded Adam saying of every tree of the garden you may certainly eat but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die...When the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was tempting to the eyes and suited to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate and gave to her man with her and he ate..."

Now, there are all kinds of wonderful trees in the Garden, even one that gave eternal life. Only the fruit of one tree cannot be eaten, else the punishment for eating from this tree was death. Luckily there was a LOOPHOLE ! If they eat from the tree of life FIRST, and then from the tree of knowledge LATER, they could not be punished by death ! But Adam and Eve did not do that.

In basic terms, the choice was between life and death, not between knowledge of good and evil.

Adam and Eve acted out their free will -- they chose death. They did not even use the loophole (to eat from the tree of knowledge without the punishment of death).

In the first 5 books in the bible, there is ONLY ONE place that we must make a choice:

"I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore choose life that you may live, you and your progeny." Deut 30:19.

Dear readers, if you have yet to accept and believe in the Lord God, make the choice now. Choose God. Choose Life.

God Bless.
