I am not trying to be critical here, but to say this without adding that we have a moral responsibility to discover what the truth really is will lead people astray. What is more, we don't really need to encourage people to move toward that which they perceive as good. We can help but be moved toward that which we perceive as good. That's the nature of the good, that we are moved towards it.

According to my brother in law, Dr. Nathan Schmiedicke who has a doctorate in Scripture, he said that "knowledge of good and evil" in this context is an idiom that means "the entire span of knowledge," ie "everything from the good to the evil." <br /><br />Your points are well taken.regina domanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288814405434899287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-41720933115310331.post-77573986337421683902013-10-04T11:38:01.064+01:002013-10-04T11:38:01.064+01:00Indeed, good point.

St Thomas is very good on how God "knows" evil. http://www.newadvent.org/summa/1014.htm#article10Stratford Caldecotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05239053224257881002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-41720933115310331.post-59072036057912460602013-10-04T09:36:50.884+01:002013-10-04T09:36:50.884+01:00It would be interesting to explore another sense o...It would be interesting to explore another sense of "know" as perhaps intended by the tempter in Eden. I'm not an expert on Biblical language, but isn't there an important, even central notion of intimacy and communion at all levels of the being in the sense of "know" as in "And Adam knew Eve his wife"? If this sense extended also to other things than one's spousal intimacy, knowledge of evil would entail not just intellectual awareness of it and the suffering of it as you wrote, but chiefly a kind of identification or intimacy with evil. By contrast, before the fall, we would have "known" evil in the same way that God does, and which does not entail an evil in itself: by the "negative presence" of a due good.Benhttp://www.uzima.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
