"Our Condition" -2

"The LORD looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men." (Psalms 33:13) I know it got a little weird yesterday, but the point had to be made; now that it has been said, my next question is about the 'tree of knowledge of good and evil', and why was it there in the first place? I really still think that it was a setup from the start; especially seeing how it was placed smack-dab in the middle of the garden to begin with. Don't you think that God knew beforehand that they would eat of it? Before the fall, everything was provided for man; everything he needed, God saw the need, and He made it happen; and there was really nothing that man needed to do, but enjoy everything that God had made for him; however, after the fall, what was the first thing that man did, but take it upon himself to cover his nakedness. God did however later make then cloths from animal skins, because even their aprons made of leaves did not hide their naked, nor could they, without there first being the shedding of blood; which makes me think again, that God knew all along that He would be sending His Son to die for our sins, and everything that was played out, was played out for us to see our need of forgiveness. The whole purpose of the Ten Commandments, is that they would lead us to Christ; showing us how impossible it is to keep all of God's commands, just as it would have been impossible for man to have lived through countless generations, without someone having eaten of that tree. Besides, as I have said before, things were not perfect as long as there was that tree there, and as long as there was the "Thou Shalt Not" hanging over everyone's head. It's like telling someone, Don't think of a pink elephant; what's the first thing they do, they think of a pink elephant. Regardless, God knows everything; and just because He might ask a few questions, doesn't mean He did not know the answer before He asked; which is the primary meaning of this verse. The word "looketh" is not the same as "beholdeth", and there is good reason; because God, although He did walk in the garden from time to time, is bigger than this earth; so how then could He be contained on it? So, when it says "The LORD looketh from heaven", the meaning is that He looks from heaven, for Jehovah God is the God of Heaven; and on the flip side of that, if we were to look to God, then we would look to the heavens; same meaning, and with the intent to consider added, it would be like, to show regard for, or pay attention to; just as we would do if we were looking up to the heavens, as we would be acknowledging God's is there. "Beholdeth" is something all together different, because it speaks more to study, as in to inspect and distinguish what is happening; or in the case of an All-Knowing God, to see what is going to play out... "For He saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy. For the Scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew My power in thee, and that My name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath He mercy on whom He will have mercy, and whom He will He hardeneth. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doeth He yet find fault? For who hath resisted His will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to Him that formed it, Why hast Thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew His wrath, and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had afore prepared unto glory, even us, whom He hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?" (Romans 9:15-24)
