This was a wonderful explanation brother, thank you so much. I have always struggled with the problem of 'Evil' but never heard it explained quite as clearly as you did.
Why are we still here? Psalms 145:8-9 King James Version (KJV) The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; Slow to anger, and of great mercy. The LORD is good to all: And his tender mercies are over all his works.
Ok So... If I've understood the matter correctly: ▪︎ The Tree of Life is in all practicality a relationship with God, a life lived well, based on the Law. If you keep the Law, everything works out ▪︎ The Tree of the *_Knowledge_* of good and evil, is basically a *temptation* of accknowlege the Tree of Life - keeping the Law - as a trap! If we must keep the Law to live, we technically don't choose at all. There is no free will, just a murder threat, and we are "just" puppets for God's sadistic amusement. He might've aswell just made robots instead, if the Law is so important to keep I mean, without the Law, there would be no life at all because life is *_based_* on law... so the irony here is that Satan suggests that life based on law should choose a life based on lawlessness to be _FREE_ The sinister move though is that Satan just wanted God's place more or less, to be in the center of everything. He just wanted to trade seat with God, and when he couldn't (since God is the one who keeps everything alive by His Word), he got pissed and lured man by temptation of "freedom" which really is death It doesn't make sense, but *_that's_* the temptation, am I right? Thanks for video and feedback
Amen! He is not a God of force so thankful He is long suffering and gives us a choice 🙌🏼🙏🏽🥰
