i don't get it

i don't get it | Genesis 2:  8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the East, there he put the man he had formed.
9 The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground- trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of knowledge, of good and evil. but if He never wanted evil why'd He plant a tree of good AND evil? | image tagged in memes,futurama fry,huh,i don't get it,genesis,holy bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Ok so this world is a place to test our worthiness so God put the tree there purposely so Adam and eve could choose to obey or disobey his is how I interpreted the passage I don't understand God sometimes but he's God he knows more than you or I will ever know so don't question him

God was establishing boundaries and his right to set those boundaries. Adam & Eve were given free will, so they could choose serve God, love him and worship him or not. They weren't serving him out of instinct or mechanically, much like the option we have NOW.
