But, God's response to eating from the tree of knowledge was to send man out from his perfect utopia. It is so complicated, in the struggle he is still there. His behavior is absolutely baffling. Sin os in the world and his method of confronting it isn't to simply remove it by robbing people of their authority. They must struggle with it and make their own journey, learn from it, fight with it, fight over it. Is it that man could never reach his full potential without it? Because that's what we want, not sure if it's what God wants, but he allows us to do what we want while maintaining absolute control. He constantly makes himself known in the regard that everyone can't stop thinking about him. At the end of the day the choice is simple, do you believe him or don't you when he says he loves you?
