Have you ever wondered why the tree of knowledge was the opposite of the tree of life?
I believe that the what we gained from the tree of knowledge was the ability to decide for ourselves what is good, and what is evil. i. e. The carnal mind. Before this man just went to God when he needed answers.
With this knowledge of good and evil man no longer needed God, who is the source of life. Thus, knowledge = death
Today most of us still try to decide for ourselves what is good and what is evil, and moreover what theology to follow.
Yep, we still eat from that tree.
