From the time Eve allegedly ate the apple from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge, she had automatically relinquished God of all responsibility for humankind. God I believe is responsible for the initial Creation, according to the Bible; a perfect and ideal world. However, with knowledge comes accountability and responsibility. Something apparently Adam and Eve sought to force onto everyone else by their irresponsible, ego statistical and disobedient action. For this action, the consequence (reaction), was; knowledge of both good and evil and the accompanying responsibilities of each accordingly. Since God had given mankind free will, God did not see fit to renege on His Word. His Words took on the reverse and I believe became the Sword of the heart, mind and tongue that would rip out the heart of God within all of humanity.

Once humanity stops blaming God in believing that He (God), should be responsible for everything, humanity may well fair much better than it does now. We are made accountable and responsible for our own actions; God does not even listen to those playing the “blame-game” with Him. Almost every single day you will hear someone say; “you are responsible for your own actions”. Why is it I wonder why so many seem to have a distorted perception of their own realities when it comes to the crunch of responsibility?

In Genesis we are told; “we are Made in the image of God”. This no doubt included the trait or character of “free will” to make decisions for ourselves. However, the most important thing to remember is that man’s knowledge is limited. Thus, really, we can never say we can be 100% certain our decision is either right or for the best over-all. It is obvious that Eve, who allegedly ate from the Tree of Knowledge, was not aware of all probabilities and consequence associated with her action. Sadly and tragically for all humanity it was made known later, the first lesson or consequence bourn of human action. God had “warned” both Adam and Eve and “asked” that they not eat of the Tree of Knowledge. Eve decided to side with “evil” or disobedience to God. She and Adam were caste-out of God’s world because they “chose” to be. God made a counter-choice; “you shall no longer live in the place of goodness I had set aside for you both”. I believe God made this decision as the Bible tells us similarly; “good and evil cannot live
