    Ge.2:16-17 "House Rules"

    "And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:/ But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

    God placed man in the Garden specially prepared for him in accordance with the Law. So when He commanded Let there be light the word of God establishes light or 'as plain as day' in any transaction between God and Man. Thus God reveals His mind to him. In visions and in dreams and also plainly as He did with Moses and Abraham. Before he destroyed Sodom he visited Abraham," And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do?". In the abstract He blessed man (Ge.1:28) so we can understand God giving a context to what shall see in 12:3? He says," Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?" (18:17-18) God has rules from which He shall not deviate.

    His rule regarding the tree was legit. His blessings reveal that God was absolutely just. "He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"(Ro.8:32)

    The Abstract speaks that He created 'them male and female'. Wisdom is a female principle and she built the house of wisdom with seven pillars before the worlds began. (Pr.9:1)

    Adam stood for the Son as a double and what did he represent for him? He was wisdom so he had not no need for the knowledge of good and evil. (1 Co.1:30).
