If man did not have knowledge of this. He would be living pure and holy like God right?
Surely he'd do all sorts of stuff with no thought that it was "wrong" or evil.

Ask the next Amekalite you see about this part. Or some child from Ai.

Another factor may be in the matter of free will both on earth and throughout the rest of the universe.
Umm... it's a pretty large universe out there, Buz. Our planet makes up maybe 0.0001% of our solar system, which makes up maybe 0.0000000001% of our galaxy, which makes up maybe 0.0000000001% of what universe we can currently detect. D'ya really, really think that this electron in an atom in a protein in a hair on the tail wags that whole dog? That seems a pretty arrogant position to take to me.

And my preacher dad always said Gehenna was the Jerusalem city dump, not a lake of fire. The lake is only in Revelations, no? And Gehenna in a gospel somewhere?
