Gen 2:16 KJV - And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Gen 2:17 KJV - 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.
Notice the wording here.
Gen 3:2 KJV - And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Gen 3:3 KJV - But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
First of all, God never told Adam, "neither shall ye touch it".
Second of all, God didn't tell Eve she would die.
1Ti 2:14 KJV - And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Eve was not deceived by the serpent. She was deceived by Adam. Adam was the one who told Eve not to eat or touch the fruit or she would die. Eve's transgression was taking the word of Adam, and not turning to God.
Job 31:33 KJV - If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
Adam's iniquity was wanting to keep the woman in the garden. His transgression was telling her falsely, she would die.
And now the kicker:
Gen 3:4 KJV - And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Gen 3:5 KJV - For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
To know good and evil, is a good thing. How else can we discern between the two? If we don't know evil, we can't avoid it, or confront it.
So why is it that Satan would want them to eat of the fruit?
Gen 2:17 KJV - 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.
