Why did God not want man to eat of the Tree of knowledge? | Fr. Athanasios Mytilinaios otelders

In this recording, Archimandrite Athanasios Mytilinaios (1927-2006), answers the question: "When we say ‘tree of the knowledge of good and evil’ [Genesis 2:17], is there a deeper meaning in these words?" "Pay attention at this point! God did not set a trap 'to catch' Adam and Eve. It would be stupid! But He warns them that their time has not come yet. It will arrive."#treeoflife #orthodox #christian Audio source: “Catechism”, no. 907 (in Greek), February 2, 1996http://www.arnion.gr/index.php/p-thanasios-mytilina-os/milies-p-thanasiou/diafora-uemata/pantiseis-pori-n-katixitikoThis video has English, Arabic and Romanian subtitles.
