The tree didn't alter our consciousness . . . God did. The Curse is from God.
Galatians 3:13 NLT - "But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."
Paul’s talking about the curse of Moses law , “death for sin “not the creation before it existed
see what he says there about Christ taking the curse ? He’s talking about this
“And if a man have
committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for
he that is hanged is accursed of God that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.”
Deuteronomy 21:22-23 KJV
Christ took the sinners place being hanged on the tree that curse of the law is death for transgression of the law.
that came 400 years after Abraham. The curse of the law. This curse came when the y transgressed and ate the fruit though a couple thousand years before the law was given with its curse of sin and death
Death was in the world at this point
“And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 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.”
Genesis 2:16-17 KJV
Knowledge alters the mind and heart they weren’t supposed to know evil now they did when they ate the fruit . It’s why you see thier position change instantly
god only told them not to eat it because he was telling the truth to keep them safe Satan only said what he said because he was trying to condemn us to death
this curse came upon all Mankind that moment
“And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.”
Genesis 3:17-19 KJV
death existed in his word beforehand now they fulfilled what he said “ when you eat the fruit you’ll die “ his word will always come to pass whether good or bad whether life and blessing or death and cursing
Jesus came to restore it all taking the law away d redeeming man to our original state of not knowing evil , but being filled with the Holy Spirit of the lord having no relationship to evil
