Genesis 2:17
"But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
thou shalt not eat of it for in the day that thou eatest
thereof thou shalt surely die."
It's not every fruit that's edible, some fruits look delicious
but they are poisonous.
In the realm of the spirit, knowledge is a tree that bears
attractive fruits. Adam ate of the fruit because of this.
When does knowledge become dangerous?
when it contradicts the word. Knowledge in computing,
knowledge in science,knowledge in medicine,
knowledge in finance etc is good and has contributed greatly
to human advancement.
God is not against knowledge because He gave us that
capacity. That's why Adam could name all the animals.
His knowledge became dangerous when he exalted it
above the word of God. For example, it sounds logical
to have sex with someone you love and intend to marry
because after all, it's an expression of love. It even sounds
logical to me but you must remember logic can be
poisonous.
Anytime something looks sensible and logical but
contravenes the word remember that you are about
to eat of the tree of knowledge and it is poisonous.
