I can not say that by reading the text that Eve ate the fruit because the fruit will make her like God. And I have to ask as to why you made that statement? 

                "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened,

                                    and you will be like God,

                                       knowing good and evil.”

                                              Genesis 3:5

Thanks, Ycf...

To be like God it was in reference to knowing good and evil. All good. I ❤️ your answer.

@Sower, @Your closest friendnt,

Grace and Peace

6 So when the woman saw that

the tree was good for food, (lust of the flesh)

that it was pleasant to the eyes, (lust of the eyes)

and a tree desirable to make one wise, (pride of life)

she took of its fruit and ate.

She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

True this is, but she didn't realize it was wrong until she ate of the fruit.  Just like they didn't realize it's not good to run around naked.

Sin was there but they were not aware of what sin was.

And how do you do your shopping at the fruit market? Do you buy what you do not like and what is not appealing to your eyes and what is not healthy to stay away from lust.

Simply addressing her motive, they do.

Just making a connection.

1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

Not concerned with shopping,

but seeing how from a simple beginning

comes a world in wickedness.

1 John 5:19 And we know that we are of God, 

and the whole world lies in wickedness.

The tree was good for food. 

The quality in an individual to tell when a tree produces edible fruits. To intelligents of the person. 

And it was pleasant to the eyes. 

The quality in a person to tell apart the beautiful things from the not beautiful. The reactions within the individual and the perseptions of the mind.

Something beautiful  definitely may perceived as evil. 

Definitely she did not have the knowledge and the laboratories we have today to tell and she used what she had. 

Definitely she would not go near it if it smelled like Durian or looked like an agly fruit or was describe as a tree to make you sick. 

She used what God gave her her senses

There world was nor our world. They had an inosence like a baby has. 

They were not other people and the things we have in our world to cause the lust and the pride of the world. 

They did not know what pride was or lust was or the environment that produced those things when people live with other people in different houses and having different wealth and people upheld others more than others and the prestige of education and the fancy clothing and cars and the ability to acquired them. 

God did not told them do not go around naked because they did not know what naked is and they have never seen other people being dressed and knowing how to make clothing to learn from them and have the consciousness 

They did not decided to go around naked by their choice. As in our world. And what about when a man and his wife? 

God never said that Eve was deceived because of lust. Only that she was deceived from the Serpent when he made an appeal to something that she could relate to. 

The Serpent did not want to harm her but rather to make her feel good as to please her to make her exited and happy like when we receive a present. 

The Serpent will never hurt them. He would do anything to protect them from hurm's way. He wanted them to be fruitful and multiply because that would be his gain.

So what is her motive? And how can you tell? 

And what was the motive of Adam to accept and eat the fruit. 

What if God had intervene and stopped Adam from eating the fruit. What then?
