Sin: What did Adam and Eve expect to gain by eating the forbidden fruit?

Adam and Eve wanted their eyes to be opened, to be like God, and know both good and evil (Gen. 3:15). Adam and Eve gave into temptation.

When the woman saw that the tree was good for food,

and that it was a delight to their eyes, and that the tree

was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit

and ate; she gave also to her husband with her, and she

ate (Gen. 3:6).

They desired knowledge. Knowledge was there folly. Satan uses our weakness to accomplish his plans.
