The question in the Garden of Eden was, would Adam and Eve live of the Tree of Life, or would they try to be like God, and make their own decisions? The question for us is still, will we live of the Tree of Life, or spend our whole lives trying to decide what is right and wrong? The Lord never intended for His people to have to be burdened with trying to decide is this right or is this wrong, can we do this or not do that. But instead His plan was for us to live of the Tree of Life (the will of God). Still in our world today, most religious people are running around saying "This is right and this is wrong..." and they make whole denominations that specialize in "taste not, touch not, handle not". You hear the debates all the time, gay marriage, abortion, liquor, gambling, sex, TV, music. It is as if we are trying to legislate morality. The only thing that will work, or has ever worked, is having the Spirit of the Living God inside us guiding us into His will. You can keep all the "rules" and still be lost (without Life). So why does the Church spend so much time trying to decide right and wrong (eating of the tree of knowledge), instead of teaching the people to follow the leading of the still small voice within...that is, if He really is in you? Be blessed.
