Itβs the number one question everyone asks about the Bible: If God didn't want Adam and Eve to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, why did He put it in the Garden of Eden in the first place? Was He setting them up to fail?
Dr. Tim Mackie explains this deep biblical mystery using a brilliant analogy from the 1980s movie, The Karate Kid. Just like Mr. Miyagi taught Daniel karate through unrelated chores like "wax on, wax off," God was using the Tree to teach humans the ultimate lesson: how to trust His wisdom over their own physical desires and what their eyes see.
