It is interesting that after Adam and Eve tried to be like God, He revealed Himself through experiences, and then the Law—a whole lot more knowledge! Do we need some if far from God?
(And it seems some of it conflicts!)
And yet, we can’t keep law without GOD’s help.
Then in the NT, Jesus kept law, fulfilled it, said to do better than it, follow Him! He made it look like He was not, to some. He understood the heart of it, from the Father-GOD’s Spirit!
Yes, it’s easy to seek answers, rather than Christ. I do not think it’s wrong to study. But do so with Him. And this seems to say, realize we may never know enough while we are here so realize John 9:39-41; 1 Corinthians 8:1-4
If you had read the story you would see that the temptation of the tree was to become like God. Bench the lie, not a lie, but THE LIE, that has plagued humanity ever since. It is this lie that separates us from God.
We have to deal with the reality that we do not know enough to determine good and evil. We cannot even see more than half of reality (the spiritual). In this 3D reality we are called to trust the One who knows. That's my only point of certainty. The Lord Yeshua Messiah is Truth. He alone knows good and evil. Even Satan has told so many lies that he can't remember what Truth is.
The definition of Faith which I like the best is : Trusting in the One who is able. Jesus has proven Himself to be trustworthy in my life. My faith tells me He'll do the same in yours.
This is very interesting! Thank you!
