Question: Is sinning worth knowledge and worldly wisdom?

I say no.  Nothing is worth devastating God, and every sin that every human commits has undoubtedly placed Christ on the cross to die.

Saying a sin that brought you into a new light was worth it is saying betraying our loving Father is worth deeper insight.  True, after a sin is committed the best you can do with your regrettable choice is learn from it.  Such circumstances are not what I speak of.  I speak of Adam and Eve.

Some are of the opinion that Adam and Eve lived in ignorant bliss.  I disagree whole-heartedly.  I believe they literally lived in Heaven on Earth-somewhere beautiful, with no pain, sorrow, or evil.  They weren’t ignorant of evil, they were uninhibited by it.  True, they had no wisdom to differentiate between good and evil, but that is because they lived in a world where there was only good.  They did not need to know about evil.  They did not need wisdom, or to leave their “ignorance”.  They lived and literally walked with God through the first Heaven he ever created.  Why would they need to trade all of that and hurt God for wisdom and the ability to form opinions?  Why search for your own opinion when you live with the perfect opinion?

Now, people are so desperate to deviate and form their own opinions, we ignore doctrinal truth.  Being unorthodox has become something people are proud of.  I am not saying being completely orthodox is right, but being so unorthodox you ignore God’s own word isn’t either.  Establishing and questioning your faith instead of accepting what society may tell you is great.  In the end, the Bible is the truth to be trusted above all others.

People say they do not believe the Bible is completely true, or the only truth.  They say it is not “God inspired”.  People are eager to agree with the Bible as long as it agrees with them and what they want to do, denying anything that will not justify their life style.

Ignorance and denial-the world’s strongest demons and most powerful sins.

If it wasn’t for Adam and Eve, it would’ve been some one else.  Every day, every person of this world plucks another forbidden apple to be worldlier, and we lose sight of our own Heaven and its glory.  The fact that we’d let down God for wisdom is the most unwise thing of all.  People call it a gift to learn more of the world and think for themselves.  But why know a world when you can know Heaven?  Why ignorantly think for yourself when you could trust and live with a God that knows all?  It is not worth it.  We will never know enough to be satisfied and our opinions are rarely right with God.  This world is nothing to be interested in compared to Heaven.  If you ask Eve if the wisdom, world, and thoughts she gained was worth a crying God and losing Eden…I bet she would say no.
