Yes, according to christianity, god gave us free will. Then, he set the rules in opposition. Look, but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, but don't swallow. That's from the Devils Advocate. The only descent part of that movie.
But that's true isn't it....I don't think God would be like that...These teaching, besides paganism, are from the Catholic Church to contol us all.
They say...1st. Here is your religion...2nd..Do what this God says...3rd. And by the way..the Pope speaks for God on earth...
Gotta YA!!!

OK..Supposedly God gave us all these tantalizing things...The look and don't eat stuff..The Beautiful bodies, but don't look stuff....But the more you look into the history of it all..These things were placed in Gods mouth! Different religions messed with the scriptures to be fearful of everything lest we all go to hell. But God gave us all these things...Why would He give us things and say don't touch? Not only did he say don't touch, but I will let you burn for EVER! What kind of a parent is that? Though I did believe all that at one time and really did try to follow all the rules, there comes a time when you know God is bigger than that.
Besides, all the near death experiences from different religions all around the world are seeing the same white tunnel of light! Even atheists see it, but they do return quite different...So, my reasoning is, there is only one God or what ever you want to call Him, and he isn't picking and choosing. Also it really does seem that the scriptures have been tampered with, because of all the contradictions in it...And there are even more writings by Paul, James..etc..that were excluded by the Early Church..ie.Constantine...If they were all included, there would be chaos, because they would contradict the others...
