No, because man didn't know as God does which is Good and Evil.

Ok, both of you Pauls, this is complex question. Why does it matter to us?

Don't think there was much of a difference externally to what we are now, but inside there was such a connection with the Creator, and an elevated position of authority over the rest of creation.

There is time we will regain an even greater position as we are "seated with Him in heavenly places".

It matters because Adam wasn't Perfect as some people think he was. They believe we would be restored to what Adam was before the fall but the reality is that the fall is actually part of becoming perfect.

I agree. I believe that although he was perfect for the plan of God, he was lacking in many things. God bless.

Yea, he was lacking a "helper". Look what that got him!

No. That gift was offered to Adam and Eve when they were on earth. Their souls were perfect however, they did not have God's attributes. That is something you must ask for.

Is there something about Genesis 1:26 & 27 that I'm missing?
