Genesis 2:9,17 MEV
Out of the ground the LORD God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, along with the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.”
God walked with Adam in the cool of the day and taught him His knowledge just as He sent Jesus to us to be the fulness of His knowledge.
God gave to Adam the good.
He wanted to protect Adam from evil.
The fruit contained the knowledge of BOTH good and evil.
Like protecting a child from a hot burner on the stove.
The burner does good when used properly.
The burner can harm when not used properly.
God is Spirit. John 4:24 KJV
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
God’s wisdom is spiritual.
Man’s wisdom is worldly.
1 Corinthians 3:19 MEV
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness,”
1 Corinthians 1:21 MEV
For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.
