Why Did God Put the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden?


Listen Later

Greg responds to questions about why God put the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden, taking a job at a Quaker school, the implications of all biological men starting off like females in the womb, and whether the stories of Gilgamesh and Horus are evidence the Bible isn’t true.
 
Topics:
Why did God put the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden, giving Adam and Eve a chance to betray him? (03:00)
  • What should I take into account in terms of theology and practical issues as I consider a job opportunity to work at a Quaker school? (12:00)
  • How would you respond to the claims that 1) all biological men start off as females in the womb, so therefore all men are actually trans, and 2) if sex is not determined until later, then life doesn’t really begin at conception? (21:00)
  • Are the parallels between the Bible and the stories of Gilgamesh and Horus evidence the Bible is not the true book? (38:00)
