This statement needs balance from other Scriptures. Proverbs 1:7 "The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction." One of the gifts of the Spirit is teaching. This means that knowledge is good. Also, it wasn't the Tree of Knowledge that Adam and Eve were forbade from, it was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (Genesis 2:9); that's a significant difference that should be noted. The verse this is likely referring to is this. 1 Corinthians 13:8 "Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away." This is clearly talking about the future, not the present. Knowledge matters! A lot. One more passage to back this up. 2 Peter 1:2-8 "Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue; 4 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust. 5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge; 6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience godliness; 7 and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
