Adam wasn’t given the fruit to eat of the tree, but he took and ate anyway. He also wasn’t given rule over his wife, but God predicts that he will (take) rule over her anyway. God also predicted that he would take from the tree of life so he sets up a watchman to protect the tree. It is apparent that Adam had a problem with taking what he wanted but taking that which he wasn’t given or allowed to have by God.

And he was given everything but he still had to take more!

He had all the food he wanted that covered the entire eart (given to him after woman was created)
He wasn’t alone, he had a wife
He had a garden to live in
He had work to do – care for the garden
He had God
He had rule over the entire earth along with it’s animals

What was he not given besides fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, rule over his wife and the tree of life once he rebelled? I just wonder why did he have to take more?
