Interesting thought I had the other day...
sooooo I tend to be very analytical when it comes to the bible. Not skeptical, not unbelieving, but just.. well, analytical. Now here's a thought that popped in my head recently..
Ok, so God told adam and eve to not eat from the tree of good and evil, for they will surely die, right?
Ok buuuttttt(that's but, not butt, lol) since they were the first people to ever exist, how could they even know what it means to die? I mean, in today's terms, you tell a kid to not smoke because they'll get addicted, they do it anyway, but perhaps becaus they don't know what it feels like to be addicted...
so since they had no clue of what it felt like or meant to die, how could they know that is was a bad thing? granted, if God says don't do something.... don't do it!!!! but still.. being the ONLY thing god ever said to not do and being the first people ever, they didnt have much of an example to go on.
ahh, I always overthink things..
