Tree Of Knowledge

[nailit]

A question for the Christians here.
According to the Bible Adam and Eve bought sin in to the world because they ate of the tree of knowledge.
What exactly is wrong with knowledge?

Ive never received a satisfactory answer.

[Zacs-Master]

Yawn. Must be off to the land of Nod.....

Sleep tight. xx

Or maybe it wasn't norman - could have been something like na.. talie, it will come to me soon. However donkeys certainly can talk, though sometimes through a medium such as the very great G.K.C.;

The Donkey
BY G. K. CHESTERTON
When fishes flew and forests walked
And figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood
Then surely I was born.

With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings,
The devil’s walking parody
On all four-footed things.

The tattered outlaw of the earth,
Of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb,
I keep my secret still.

Fools! For I also had my hour;
One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout about my ears,
And palms before my feet.

[naomi24]

^as airy fairy as ever.

[nailit]

F . f sakes, why wont the religious on here EVER answer a straightforward question.

[Zacs-Master]

You’ll never receive a satisfactory answer.

[nailit]

is it too difficult?
Khandros slipperiness and Thelands ''look it up on you tube'' leaves me out in the cold. As a Christian in my younger years this is precisely the outlook that made me look elsewhere for lifes deeper meanings.
Christians, completely turned me off Christianity.

[Mamyalynne]

Did you find them and are you content with them?

If so that's what matters.

[Theland]

I am at long last not interested in being cross examined by those who have already drawn their own conclusion.
Don't believe?
YOUR PROBLEM.
Suck it up. Rebel. Kick. Try to be disruptive. Good luck.

[Theland]

Go and look for deeper meaning then.
Try the Argos catalogue.

[naomi24]

Khandro, I think Nailit is referring to my question - and Chesterton's deliberations don't help. It's the wrong donkey. Do keep up, there's a good chap.

Theland, //I am at long last not interested in being cross examined by those who have already drawn their own conclusion.//

What on earth are you talking about? You consistently avoid giving answers. Some cross examination!

[mibn2cweus]

It's a sad state of affairs for humanity when so many believe they have to lie to others and deceive themselves in order to cope with their self imposed demons rather then seek genuine solutions that would make our common reality a more pleasant and rewarding mutual experience.

[Khandro]

mibn2cweus That sounds like sermon - a sermon of piffle.

[vulcan42]

Theland, you shouting "your problem" reminded me of the time two Jehovah witless shouted at me through my letter box. Also, like you, they had little effect.
