Hi Paul,
Okay, I see what you are saying. Here are a couple of places Ray mentions the whole Bible is a parable.

Good AND Evil are the SAME Fruit... to embrace this, is to become as children.
The process of, don't touch that flame, don't touch that pretty glowing oven...it will hurt. It looks pretty and it appears interesting but don't go near it and don't touch it because it is hot and it will burn. So we go near and we get burned. That is how to receive wisdom.
The Spirit of God can show us that all we think we know, and whatever knowledge we think we possess, is foolishness. In the Presence of the Spirit of God, no proof of that is necessary. lol
" Be still and Know that I am God" ~ :)
We don't have to prove we are children if we are. And naughty kids, can't keep still! It takes the Spirit of God....to give that gift!

I just found this from Ray in answer to one of his emails:

"The first commandments of God to the man and the woman were:
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, [1] Be fruitful, and [2] multiply, and [3] replenish the earth, and [4] subdue it: and [5] have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
There are five commandments alone that came before not eating of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Now then, one of the categories of animals that "move upon the earth" is "serpents." They were specifically COMMANDED to "have DOMINION OVER....serpents..." Eve allowed the serpent to have dominion over HER. She BROKE the commandment of God and SINNED.
Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Eve was FULLY aware of the fact that she knew full well that it was WRONG to eat of this forbidden fruit. She even stated as much."
So, There were at least 6 laws or commandments in the Garden and NOT "one" as I stated in my prior posts. (My bad.)
Also, the sin of allowing the serpent to have dominion over her would be imputed to her (because of her lusts. Obviously, if you allow a Grizzly to have dominion over you, there's no sin :).) I don't want to suffer from paralysis-of-analysis as Ray says, so I'll stop here. :)
