Is there anyone else who thinks it is interesting that one of Lucifer's first enticements to partake of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil is that it is delicious to eat and very desirable. Hmmm, appealing to our carnal nature. . . . . To Eve's credit, this is probably not the reason that she partakes of the fruit, as was mentioned in earlier comments.
I haven't done my reading yet, but here are a few questions I am going to focus on: First, if Adam and Eve couldn't procreate in the garden, were their physical bodies also limited in terms of other things, like eating? Why did Lucifer use this enticement? I guess I never entirely understood why procreation was not possible in the garden of Eden. Since this is our "assignment" I hope I (and you'all) can tackle this question that has bothered me for some time.
Next (and this is probably linked to the first), why did Eve follow Lucifer's lead and use the same enticement to get Adam to eat (ie, "it is delicious to the taste and very desirable").
Finally, what can we learn from this scenario about Satan's tactics and our response?
