Yes, that's why we don't stop warning. Would you warn your child just once and believe he should be able to govern himself.
It is clear you have never heard kids of your own.
Now let me give you an example.
When growing up, we had this busy road in front of our house.
My dad for days and days kept telling us the same thing. Kept teaching us how to safely cross the road.
Why didn't he just tell us once and expect us to know. That's not how parenting works. You have no point. My 3 years old child doesn't know right from wrong.

Guy Adam and Eve were PERFECT their memory card is well over whatever you can imagine unlike your IMPERFECT little child that may forget what you told him.

For your information God didn't tell Eve directly it was Adam who passed on the warning to her that's why Satan targeted Eve yet she still quote God as if she was present when the warning was given to Adam.

So the argument that they don't know what is GOOD and BAD literally speaking is out of it they know therefore what we read there has spiritual meaning not just literal as most readers think! smiley

Please explain your understanding of the verse. It's one thing to respond and it's another thing to explain the verse.
The verse does not in fact state that Adam and Eve had no knowledge of good and evil as you formerly claimed. This can't be true because in Genesis 2, God is revealed to have given Adam( Eve included) His Law which defines for them what is good and what is evil --- God's Law is the definition of that which is disobedience(sin/evil) and that which is obedience. undecided

Rather, what the verse hints at is that after eating the fruit in disobedience(sin) , Adam and Eve had acquired knowledge of good and evil( Law) on par with that which God (and His audience) alone were previously privvy to. Most likely be way of a receiving details of a different Law from the one they had originally been subject to, of course without God's permission. undecided

You are creating problems for yourself by not accepting the word of God. God unlike you is not a confusionist. Again, good and evil are spiritual enough.
Good and evil don't have other meanings.

Oya go out there and use it to teach anyone who is ready to learn from you, as for me and my global family we know that Adam and Eve knew what is GOOD and BAD literally speaking that's why our God punished them otherwise there's no justification for such heavy punishment if they don't know what they did is BAD. wink

Now you clearly need your English teacher. The verse in no way was comparing the level of their knowledge to that of God it only stated that they now have the knowledge of Good and evil.
We shouldn't be having the argument on the religion forum we should be discussing this on the education forum because it's an English problem that you have.

What you are you family know is false made up guesswork. No single verse in the bible says that Adam and Eve had knowledge of good and evil so where are you and your family getting your falsehoods from.

Go out there and use your understanding of the scriptures to make disciples for your God we are doing our own and we're OK with the understanding that Adam and Eve do know what is GOOD and BAD literally speaking.
We aren't forcing our understanding on you so make use of what you think you know.

As I said this is no longer a scripture problem but an English issue.
You have problems with your comprehending.
Now let's break it down so you may understand.
Phase 1.
Behold, the man is become as one of us. Question, in what way had man become like God?
Phase 2.
to know good and evil
So what made man become like God? Knowing good and evil.
It doesn't get easier than this.

Now this is out of the topic.
God has explained himself but you wake up to create new meanings to his words. Meanings that are not scriptural and then you come out here to argue them with no evidence.
You believe I am wrong yet you can't point to any scripture that is in line with what you say.
That's not how it works.
Does any verse in the bible state that good and evil has a different spiritual meaning?

If someone doesn't know what is bad there's no justification for punishment that's common sense.
Ticket for driving on one-way totally differs from this because the people issuing ticket only want to generate revenue for their rulers under normal circumstances what should be done is a signpost indicating that's a one-way without such a signpost it wrong to punish anyone driving along such a road.
God has given Adam and Eve a warning not to eat from that tree so they already know it's BAD to do so! wink

There's no reason to continue arguing on words {2Corinthians 3:6 } that you can't apply for others to learn {1Timothy 6:4} people who have learned how to apply what they're learning formed an organization {Isaiah 2:2-4} i know it's killing you but take heart that's what it means to have accurate knowledge of God's {Romans 10:2-3} word not just reading without understanding! 2Timothy 3:7 wink

You are a funny guy. You came here to talk about Adam and Eve but the moment I show you the foolishness in your believes you start to deflect.

Now I have asked you to present a verse that says Adam and Eve had knowledge of good and evil you qouted about 5 passages but none about the topic.
Doesn't this tell you that something is wrong with your believes.
I can tell that you are not an idiot, you are a bit intelligent so don't pretend you don't see that your position is not scriptural.
I understand you feel more comfortable when we deflect from the issues and make it personal and emotional but we are both men.
Let's stick to issues.
Let's stick to what the bible says about Adam and Eve and not what the JW says.

Jesus said to his disciples:

“You are the light of the world. A city cannot be hid when located on a mountain. People light a lamp and set it, not under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it shines on all those in the house. Likewise, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your fine works and give glory to your Father who is in the heavens" Matthew 5:14-16

If you can't present any group of people who are fulfilling this prophecy today your argument makes no sense.
Are you saying Jesus is talking about individuals found in different religions or one organization that people globally can learn from?

So FOOLISHNESS starts when you're quoting words but can't present an ORGANIZED people applying what you're saying. If your understanding is that Adam and Eve knows GOOD and BAD literally speaking then what exactly is the reason for their punishment?

Ọmọ you're not intelligent to that level that's why most of you turn to atheism later when you can't convince atheists that the book makes sense.

Someone doesn't know what is GOOD and BAD yet he is being punished greatly for doing what is WRONG.

The bible said they did not know good and evil. But they knew obedience and disobedience which is why God only charged them to Court for disobedience.

Why then did Eve told the serpent that God said they should not even touch the fruit else they would die

Why did they go and hide hearing God was coming?

Is disobedience not an evil thing?

Don't emphasize touch. She was not charged for touching.

So that was her simply giving Satan the answer to his probe.

Off Point! This was after they now knew "knowing good and evil".

If you had thought well you would know not to ask me for I was born into the knowing of good and evil world and not their first world where they did not know good or evil. So nothing for you here.
