Before God created Eve, he said to Adam; “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day you eat of it you shall die”(Bible Genesis 2:16). That was God’s only command to Adam.

One day Eve was in the Garden by the tree that God forbade her from touching. There was a serpent on the ground that started talking to her. Eve did not know who or what Satan was, n

God works in mysterious ways. People use this little saying all the time to help themselves believe that everything happens for a reason. There was a reason for the forbidden fruit to be in the garden. There was a reason that God told them stay away from the tree.

Eve thought of the fruit more desirably since she was not allowed to eat it. She thought that the reason she was told to not eat the fruit was not for her own good. She thought that God did not want them to be on the same level as him.

or did she know that that was who was talking to her though the serpent. Eve said to the Serpent; “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden; but God said; ‘you shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, nor shall you touch it, or you shall die’”(Bible Genesis 3:2). The serpent replied; “You will not die; for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil”(Bible Genesis 3:5).

The Serpent used several arguments to get Eve to eat the fruit. The serpent had told Eve that he himself was formally a beast, and that after eating from the tree he became more humanlike, so if a human were to eat it they would be like a God (Phillips 42). Eve was also asked why this fruit would kill her, if the serpent had not died. He also brought up the point of how can God’s tree give knowledge out against his will, if he already knows all (Phillips 75).
