tree. There was nothing wrong with the fruit on that tree. In fact,
the opposite was true. It even says "Eve saw that the fruit was good
for food" It could have been any fruit, from any tree. There was
nothing special about the fruit, other than God said..."dont eat it".
It wasn't magical, it wasn't poisoned. Just forbidden.
So many things in life are this way. It would be nice, even easier
perhaps if everything we were forbidden to do, premarital sex, drugs,
indulgences, were always inherently bad, it would make even more sense
and we could understand WHY they are forbidden, and hopefully be able
to resist better. (I did only say "better")
But, it isn't that way. Some of the things he asks us to resist, to
rfure to do, are not necessarily bad for us...they are just forbidden.
I have some examples in mind but need to put the boys to bed...so nuff
fer now.
