Greetings Pastor Brito. Although the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was desirable to make one wise, it also brought the death of Christ. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, so obedience gives Adam maturity. Question, why would God allow Adam in his matured state to eat of that fruit rather than cutting the tree down? Adam would be allowed to strike the Rock so to speak. Thank you.

Because discernment (good and evil) is granted to those who have been coronated to Solomonic status.

If righteousness is imputed by the blood of Christ because of Adams eating, why could wisdom not be imputed to Adam through Christs eating? When Adam is mature enough and is ruling creation according to God's word, God then crowns him with wisdom by Christ eating of the knowledge of good and evil? Sorry pastor, but you get me thinking. As shallow as it is. Thank you.
