Why did Yahweh put man in the garden and desire that he not know the difference between good and evil? Was it because he wanted us to simply dwell in relationship with Him? In a state of constant communion with Him wherein we would not have the burden of or the need to choose between good and evil? Is it possible today to return to the place where we have no need for the knowledge of good and evil? Yes, we believe it is, but only when we, by the Holy Spirit, are completely seated in Yahshua the Christ on a continual basis and when we declare with our mouth and our life that we are the righteousness of Yahweh In Yahshua the Christ. Is ‘good’ bad? No, but ‘good’ pursued in itself can become a substitute for our intimate relationship with Yahweh. When we are in the intimate relationship with Him, ‘good’ becomes a product of that relationship, not the sole objective of our ambition. ‘Good’ in itself produces nothing, but out of an intimate relationship with Yahweh, as He desired from the beginning, we achieve something far greater – obedience. Why did Yahweh say that obedience is better than sacrifice? Because sacrifice is achieved through the act of doing ‘good’, whereas obedience is only possible through a personal and ongoing relationship with Him.

Sacrifices are made to make a way back to Yahweh.

Obedience is the way to ensure one never leaves Him in the first place.
