Do you think god used reverse psychology to trick adam and eve to eat the forbidden fruit?

Basically what i am saying is if they had not eaten the fruit of knowledge then we would have been eaten by some lion or animal if we didn't have any swords or knives.

No, if you believe in Adam & Eve, then you probably know Satan was the one who enticed Eve to eat the fruit. Eating the fruit was the first sin, & inevitably caused every other sin to happen in the future. If Adam & Eve hadn't gained knowledge from eating the fruit, which enabled them to sin the future. There is a reason a human can sin, but an animal cannot. Animals do not know better. As for being eaten by a lion or other animal, I don't think God would have let that happen. Adam & Eve weren't ever going to die in the Garden of Eden, but due to their sin, they were moved out of Eden & were able to die on Earth.

I believe Adam and Eve were free to choose. That's what we've being teached and I think it's true. He knew they would do it but He had to let them choose on their own.

God knew they would eat, if not then why would he create them in human flesh... flesh causes everybody to curse, fuck around and then regret later... murder. i'm high right now but it's more than humans... beating the shit out of satan he gets a boot out and THEN creating life where satan and his fallen-angels/demons dwell... kinda odd.
