2:16
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

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.

3:11
And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

3:12
And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.



3:13
And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

This is just some short passages from the Book Of Genesis.
This makes me think.
If God is an all knowing entity would he have not known that Eve would eat the apple?
Most if not all religions would describe God as a Being that is the "Past, Present and Future".
He knows all for he is All.
How could he have not known that Eve would eat the apple hence applying that he is not as powerfull as it seems?
Any thoughts?

He knew what was going to happen but he wouldn't intrude on Eve's freewill.

and within one there is all...
so the father as portrayed is potentially false...
second the real father of all that is knows all...
and the story as presented may elude to something else...

Zero.....Yes God is all knowing....and could have prevented the fall of the first people..but He did not wish to interfere.......The image and likeness of God is expressed in the free will of man.(Im sure I wrote about this somewhere in here.A.T.S ? )

Each person can make whatever they see fit to explain the Bible....but there is explanations on how to read the Bible and it's meanings(I myself do not have authority to translate the writings or meanings)
Early Church fathers wrote on the meanings and how to interpret the Bible and they are still available to be read if anyone wishes to know them....and the writings of these Fathers have not changed......People tend to Change them with the times.......to try and fit in with ''Modernism'' and distort the true meanings...
helen....

The Lord gave Adam and Eve four commandments in the Garden of Eden.

1. They were to multiply and replenish the earth (Gen 1:28).

2. They were to govern the earth wisely and have dominion over it (Gen. 1:28).

3. They were not to partake of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and if they did they would experience serious consequences (Gen. 2:17)

4. And they were to remain with each other (Gen. 2:24)

In the case of two of these commandments�to multiply and replenish the earth and to refrain from partaking of the tree of knowledge of good and evil�Adam and Eve had to choose which they were to obey. Procreation was not possible for them in their immortal state, yet Heavenly Father would not rob them of their agency by making the choice for them. In essence the Lord told Adam that there were two directions to go, each with its unique consequences�and that Adam was to choose which one.

From Robert J. Woodford, � �In the Beginning�: A Latter-day Perspective,� Ensign, Jan. 1998, 12
