become more like God by
disobeying Him. “You shall be as gods knowing good and evil, ‘’ if you will just

you not to eat. Adam and Eve were already created in God’s image, in His
character. How could they become more like God?" LTR
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:
Genesis 2:7
