Hi Cheryl

Thanks for your patience I have finally joined all the dots and can see what you are saying. It leaves me with a further question – if knowledge of good and evil is entirely part of being made in the image of God then would Eve not be culpable for allowing herself to be deceived. If she already knew about evil and that it was wrong then surely choosing to believe the lies of the serpent is a willful act of rebellion?

Eph 5:6 “Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient.”

If what you are saying is true then Eve like the Ephesians knew what was right from wrong before she was deceived by the “empty words” of the Serpent and was “disobedient”, leaving her under Gods wrath. Or am I missing something else?
