Question
WHY DID GOD PLANT THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL IN THE MIDST OF THE GARDEN KNOWING THAT MAN WOULD TOUCH THE TREE AND FALL
Hi Frances,
Thanks for this great question. The Bible does not give us a reason that God did this. I could speculate that it was so that God could demonstrate His great love for us... but the Bible does not say, so we do not know. I do know this, God's ways are beyond my comprehension or evaluation.
Isaiah 55:8
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.
I hope that this helps some.
In Christ,
Pastor Don

Expertise
I believe that every word of the Bible is God-Breathed. This blessed book is the foundation of truth for faith and practice. If you ask this volunteer a question you will receive an answer from the Bible that is based upon a litteral, normal interpretation, taking into account the grammar and culture of the time.
Experience
I have been in the ministry for almosat 20 years. During this time I served as youth pastor, assistant pastor, counselor, and Senior Pastor. Currently I serve as a Senior Pastor for an independent fundamental Baptist Church in New England.
