The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is knowledge the god image already possesses within himself, he is fully integrated with both. Eating from the tree turned humanity into schizos and now we all deserve to die. This both Just and God is Evil for allowing it to happen

i see the creation story in different terms. the story of the fall is cross-cultural because life itself involves this-and-not-that, it involves a severing from wholeness or totality to a realm of limitation and finitude. every action we make in life is a continuation of this. this is built into the nature of reality itself, there is no "eating from the tree" to result in man's fallen nature, there is no original sin. it is built into reality itself.

an Old Testament character called "Satan" appears in Job. You wrongly assume this entity called "Satan" is "the devil," thereby showing you don't know jack shit about the topic. I suggest you ask "Gemini" about the word Satan in Hebrew and its usage in the Old Testament and then kill urself

the story is a mess in this regard. for god to enter into a bet with the devil is either dualism - the devil as unique and distinct from god - or the devil is just part of god and god is responsible for all the tricks and calamities placed on job, which therefore denies god's goodness. furthermore, the story denies god's omnipotence - god should already know what is in job's heart before job is subject to the calamities

You obsess over terms and definitions in every field except Christianity where you can't be bothered to apply even a reddit-level distinction between ur made up usage of "the devil" versus what the text actually says
