Interesting feed...about good and evil. It's funny, how being faced with evil makes humans resentful, against the idea of God. But what are we calling evil? And why are we calling it that?
Here's why I ask...man's fall, according to Genesis,happened when Adam and Eve ate fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Prior to this, God grants man free will to do as he pleases, all but not to eat from this tree. When Adam and Eve do this, they suddenly see themselves as naked, and hide from God before he even knows what they've done. It's not till later God finds them and realizes what they've done that he separates from them.
Theologians constantly say our sin was disobeying God, but is that all of it? I mean are we not looking into the significance of the act. Man has free will, and chooses to eat from this tree, desiring good and evil. Could the irony be that in doing this, we actually lost our free will, now every action requiring a reflection of whether it's good or evil? Maybe our greatest sin was not disobeying God, but rather becoming slaves to the good and the evil, never choosing actions just for their own sake.
Look at what knowledge of good and evil does. Certain people get set above others as more good, and arrogantly talk down to those considered lacking good. We envy what we don't have, because we see what someone else has as good, and our own possessions as bad. We murder, because we justify our side as good, and the other side as evil.
Maybe the knowledge of good and evil was more harmful to humankind than helpful.
