Genesis 3:5-7
All Eve and Adam wanted was to be more wise. It's not like they intentionally disobeyed God.
Eve thought how wonderful it would be to be wise.
So on a quest after such a seemingly good and right thing - wisdom - , sin came into the world.
A lot of people now are in such a quest to get education, to get a degree, to get a diploma.
And all of that is good. Just like wisdom is a God thing.
But when anything, even Godly things, go higher than our relationship with God, than death will come. Not even physical death, more like spiritual death.
They didn't physically die, They were actually given understanding.
It seems like the more 'knowledge' someone has; the harder it is to come before God, to be in His presence.
