Wait tho... isn't keeping someone ignorant a form of deception?
Also, since when is keeping a person ignorant good?
If I have a kid and keep it locked in the house with no knowledge of the outside world, even if I feed it and raise it and provide for it, the general consensus would be that I'm a piece of shyt. There would be a 5-star plat thread BLACKMAN KEEPS DAUGHTER LOCKED IN HOUSE.. but its good when a god or angel does it?
Why?
I merely presented you the information on what I read in the article, hopefully my summary is accurate.
In your scenario, you would be wrong and a scumbag father but there is a difference. You gave her no choice. You would have to tell her to never open the front door but you would still be wrong.
Idk the thought process of a diety.
From the article: God gave us everything we wanted in Eden so God thought Adam and Eve wouldn't have a reason to go against God's will.
Lucifer says that we don't love god only obey him because we have to and proposes a challenge. God accepts and Lucifer creates temptation. God trusted that Adam and Eve would resist temptation so much that God allowed them the
choice to make bad decisions and go against God's laws. God did this by allowing the apple to exist and allowing Adam and Eve to
choose whether or not to eat the apple.
Why cant we live in paradise (Eden) with free choice (knowledge)? Only reason I could think of is that God must know people would do whatever they want even if its against his will (like how alot of people live now).
So many questions man...
Is it really eden//heaven if you cant do what you want?
@Taadow Does the bible say why God didn't want us to acquire knowledge (eating the apple) or was it just based off principle of disobeying?
Did Adam and Eve think it was a regular apple or were they told its power?
Could you say that God was tempted to play a game with Adam and Eve as pawns? Why would God even entertain Lucifer? How could he not predict the outcome?
