Bible said human came to know what is good and bad from eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge.

Why It didnt seem that Cain knew what is good and bad ?

People kill, steal, rob, cheat, lie, enslave, curse, bully, envy, lust, porn, drugs, alcohol, arrogant, stingy, war, they don't help the poor, the prostitutes etc.  You see that? They don't love others as much as they love their bellies (cliche) and they only use religion as a mask to escape the sins.

Howbeit human ever know what is good and bad ? Blindness. The tree did not make human wise !

Without getting into the weeds, I think what scripture teaches is that man is not always as bad as he could be, but is never as good as he needs to be. Mankind is marvelously made and there is an echo of His image, but it falls farther short of His requirement, that we can hardly grasp.

The Word became flesh, to buy us back from an impossible place.

Man is fine, until his survival instincts kick in and he becomes an animal.

What are the limits of human depravity? This is one of the worst I have heard,

prophesied in the Torah for a people under siege.

Deuteronomy 28:

54 The sensitive and very refined man among you will be hostile toward his brother,

toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the rest of his children whom he leaves behind, 

55 so that he will not give any of them the flesh of his children whom he will eat,

because he has nothing left in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy

shall distress you at all your gates. 

56 The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot

on the ground because of her delicateness and sensitivity, will refuse to the husband of her bosom,

and to her son and her daughter, 

57 her placenta which comes out from between her feet and her children whom she bears;

for she will eat them secretly for lack of everything in the siege and desperate straits

in which your enemy shall distress you at all your gates.

On that note, have a Wonderful Holiday Season

We have the knowledge of good and evil. Everyone has this. But we don't have the nature before we are born again to do good. Even when humans do good it's for the wrong reason. It's for selfish reasons or to be seen as good. Once we are saved we have the divine nature of God in us. We can do good by walking in the spirit. The person not born of God cannot walk in the spirit but only in the flesh.

So What good value for human to eat the fruit of knowledge ? No good. All sins go on in this world. Totally unaware of the consequences of bad things they Will reap even till thousand Millions years to come.

It was the knowledge of GOOD AND EVIL. Man certainly knows that. (Rom. 1: 18: 32) `they are without excuse.` (v. 20)

Again we know because its written He wrote His ways on the heart. Then to look out over creation no man can say there is no God. I love to quote the Rapper NF "I look around at this world we walk on It's a smack in the face, don't ever tell me there's no God"

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
