There is a secret buried within scripture and for some reason we have yet to discover it. At least fully.

Track with me:

The Bible starts in a garden. After God has created light, water, land, plants, fish and animals He finds that there is not a suitable helper for Himself. So in His image He creates man. And because there is not a suitable helper for God except out of His own image He creates woman (still in the image of God) from man to be man’s suitable helper. And God becomes Our Father.

Our Father yearns for a relationship with us; it’s the whole purpose of our existence, and the evil one knows that. So he exploits the one area in the garden that can disrupt the right relationship between Our Father and His kids: the knowledge of Good and Evil.

It’s easy to say that if that is the one area that can break the relationship with Our Father it shouldn’t have been created. But with out it, without the choice, true love - Our Father’s nature - cannot exist. What is love if it is forced?

But of all the things to keep us from, why is knowing the difference between good and evil, the one thing Our Father didn’t want us to have, such a bad thing? It seems to be the first thing parents teach their children and seems that society and its laws are also based somewhere within this knowledge.

And even though society is based on the one thing Our Father didn’t want us to have, the knowledge of good and evil, it is a better place, I mean, we are free aren’t we?

OR… are we? Its as if we are slaves to judging what is right and what is wrong. We are continually justifying/rationalizing our actions, creating expectations, feeling guilty, and comparing ourselves with others. And that’s precisely why Our Father didn’t want us to have this knowledge - because try on our own strength as much as we can - WE JUST CANT HANDLE IT!

This is just the beginning… more on this later.
