It is a biblical fact that everything God created is good including the fruit of the Knowledge of good and evil. According to bro Eli, everything given to Adam was for his benefit and substainance.
God's creation is perfect, including all the fruits he created. Apple is a very good fruits that nourishes the skin, God gave Adam command to eat all the fruits in the garden of Eden, except the tree of the knowledge of the good and evil. Satan, the Archenemy of God used Eve as instrument to persuade Adam to eat the fruit, he aims to destroy God's creation through disobedience. Adam did not sinned because he ate the fruit created by God, but he sinned because he disobey God by eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil which God forbids him to eat.
Bro Eli in his teaching use Marijuana as example, He said that marijuana is very good and beneficial to health when used properly, but harmful when it's abused. this shows how we make our choices in using what God created.
The purpose of the test was not for the fruit itself, but for Adam's obedience to God's commandment. Adam sinned because he transgressed the law of the Lord.
In the wonderful teaching by Bro Eli Soriano, we have learnt that God's creation is perfect, and nothing created by God is evil or harmful to human lives. He gave Adam command to eat them freely but forbids him to eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil because he knew that Adam will become evil once he consume the fruit, Adam did not know evil, it was when he disobeyed Gods command that he know evil. As believers let's always obey God's commandments, knowing that any hard situation we find is a test to our faith.
