About two trees in the middle of garden of Eden

In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (Genesis 2:9^b)

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was forbidden tree which would bring death if eaten (Genesis 2:17).

Before temptation & sin, 

This tree gave them following knowledge:

It is "good' if they do not eat from the tree and it is "evil" if they eat from the tree.

After temptation & sin,

This tree gave them

experimental knowledge of 'good' they lost and 'evil' they experienced.

the independent mind to decide what is good and bad without reference to God^[1].

But, the consequence of sin (disobedience to God) was death (Genesis 3:19).

If your knowledge prevents you from coming to Christ, think of whether it is because you choose independence from God and choose the tree of knowledge of good & evil instead of the tree of life.

2 Cor 10:3-6 says

³ For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. ⁴ The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. ⁵ We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. ⁶ And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.

Choose life.
