Bible Verses: Genesis 2 verses 16 and 17

 6	     Genesis ii. 16, 17.  And the Lord God [Jehovah] com-
  	manded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou
  	mayest freely eat:  but of the tree of the knowledge of good
 9	and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:  for in the day that thou
  	eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. 

  	    Here the metaphor represents God, Love, as tempting
12	man, but the Apostle James says: "God cannot be
  	tempted with evil, neither tempteth He any	                                     No temptation
  	man." It is true that a knowledge of evil would	                             from God 
15	make man mortal. It is plain also that mate-
  	rial perception, gathered from the corporeal senses, consti-
  	tutes evil and mortal knowledge. But is it true that God,
18	good, made "the tree of life" to be the tree of death to His
  	own creation? Has evil the reality of good? Evil is un-
  	real because it is a lie, — false in every statement.
