If everything God made is “very good” (Genesis 1:31), does that include the tree of knowledge of good and evil?
If you will go back and read in Genesis, every time God made anything, it was said, and it was good. So if it was said, then it meant the tree of knowledge of good and evil also. God made all things. He did not create evil, satan did that when he talked Eve into taking that first bite of fruit and then gullible Adam took the bait and he also decided to take a bite of the forbidden fruit. There’s a reason it was called forbidden and there is a reason that God told Adam and Eve not to eat any of it. It was a test of obedience which of course they did not pass. They failed and you and I would have failed miserably just as they did. Sin was bound for this world and this is why Christ was bound for this world. It was going to be whether we wanted it to be that way or not. But God loves us and he saw what was going on and what could happen so he did what he had to do – he gave His only begotten Son. We had the choise of accepting Him or rejecting Him. I chose to accept him and am very happy
