According to Bro. Eli Soriano, everything God created is good, including the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Nothing God made was evil or harmful. The fruit itself was not the problem; the sin came from disobedience.
According to the explanation of the preacher , the serpent was used by satan to deceive Eve, making her believe that eating the fruit would make her wiser.
The eating of the fruit was not the sin that was committed , but the disobedience to the commandment of God
God’s instructions were meant to protect them, not to limit them.
To make this clearer, Bro. Eli used the example of marijuana. Their are some very Good and health benefits of marijuana when it is handled the right way , but it can become harmful and dangerous if it is handled wrongly or abused.
The same principle applies to all of God’s creation — everything is good when used within His purpose.
A very important lesson to learn from this gospel is that obeying the word of God is much more important than desire. God allowed the tree to exist to give Adam and Eve the freedom to choose. True love and faith are proven through obedience.
