I answered the other thread as well. . . . . .

I do not see it as a 'testing' issue. The Pearls 'test' their babies, to bring out the sin nature, in order to beat it out of them. Adam and Eve didn't have a sin nature. . . they were created innocent and pure. to be 'tested', you have to already have the knowledge of good and evil, ahead of time. Adam and Eve did not (that didn't come until after they ate of the tree).

To 'test' someone, to 'try' them, one must know both sides of the issue. . .good or bad. For Adam and Eve, everything was 'good', so far. It is like Paul writes in the NT. . . without knowledge of the law, there is no acknowledgement (or knowledge) of sin.

The tree just *was*. It was put there before Adam and Eve were even created.
