Knowledge a strange curiosity.....

 Why was Gaining Knowledge a Sin?

I think it was because the desire to gain knowledge whether accidentally or by putting the orderly intensity of our minds to, it attracted the struggle for existence between good and evil, between God and the devil. These are the principalities and powers that struggle constantly in motion that Pail mentions.

  I often notice the harmony between languages. Exceptions put color into odd interactions. I remember noticing a sign in a small upscale town while cycling in the country that said dog spelled backwards was God. Of course. The devil can recite the Lord's Prayer backwards as well.

God did not create evil any more than He can negate Himself. Evil came out of good, themselves wanting to be god probably turning the power of knowledge against itself. Evil spirits are many and they have power. I do not tangle with them. It is enough for me to recognize them. They are the opposite of the fruit of the Spirit seen in Galatians 5:22. Believing in those Spirits can overcome the body, as I earlier mentioned my mother testified.

I do know God cannot tolerate even the very presence of evil before Him.  I may not know how all the hows work today. But all that is most likely in the future when I finally get into the present, where eternity is stuck.
