as "God's children"... Is it fair to compare God's decision to stick the Tree of Knowledge smack dab in the middle of his "children's" garden to a parent who decides to put an open bottle of bleach right in the middle of their children's play room?And of course, each parent warns their young ones that they shouldn't touch what was just put within their reach... then each parent leaves their young ones to their own devices.Is that a fair comparison?P.S. I know A&E were "adults"... but were they not childlike in their innocence and their "newness" to the world?DANG IT, I misspelled "question". Please forgive my typo and focus instead on actually answering the question. Thank you.Jean, all I'm asking you is: is this a fair comparison? Yes or no. I don't need to be lectured on why God did what he did.
