Defining evil?

<< < (4/4)

StevenL:
No Bob they didn't know it before, but It was surely there, wasn't it? Somewhere. In some form. Affecting something or somebody. Just sitting there waiting to be known by the newly-formed humans.

Anyway, my babble is not contributing to knowledge so I'll shut up for now.

"Notice how God told Adam that he would continue to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil for the rest of his life."

Did God say that Adam would eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil for the rest of his life? I understand it to say that the ground is cursed and Adam would eat from the ground which he would have to toil after.

On a different note does anyone know if it's of any consequence that the words translated "good and evil" in Genesis are not the same words translated "good and evil" in Hebrews 5:14?

In Genesis it's "towb" for good and "ra" evil.

In Hebrews is "kalos" good and "kakos" evil.

Porter:
Ah yes good catch largeli, I believe you are right. This is why a second witness is important, which I didn't have.

And also thanks StevenL for clarifying that, lots for me to chew on.

In Genesis it's Hebrew, and in Hebrews, it's Greek.  That's the short answer.
