People think the reason Adam & Eve were expelled from paradise is because God's a meanie that didn't want them possessing knowledge.
That they were expelled due to their intellectual curiosity in pursuing knowledge.
That's not why they fell.
They didn't fall because they desired knowledge.
People forget, Adam & Eve were in full communion with God & walked in the garden & spoke with God the way we speak with each other.
They could simply ask God anything they desired to know.
> Genesis 3:5
> For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil.
Did you catch it?
> and you shall be as Gods
Adam & Eve fell because of idolatry.
They desired to make themselves God. To Worship self.
This is Satan's original lie, that we can be God.
He also told them they would not die, yet they did.
We also know it's a lie from our own lived experience, we know we're not God, our human limitations make this evident.
You are not a god my friend, neither am I.
You're a creature, a creation, but, the good news is, you have a creator in which you can have communion.
