Do human really know what is good and bad ? The tree of knowledge did not make human wise.

[R. Hartono]

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"
