Ask Him yourself. You're asking me what God thought concerning an issue. As I'm not God, I can't fully answer that. Of course we're often times able to discern meanings out of Biblical references and context clues (concerning those describing God in terms of human capacity and emotion). Maybe tomorrow when I'm fully awake I'll be able to think clearly, but as of right now, I don't have a good answer for ya.

I guess my father was wrong about the Tree then. Next time he is over I will tell him what a horrible Pastor he is because of this completely wrong meaning of the Tree he told me.

Be my guest. I don't care. I just don't pounce on the fact that God has "special apples" that make you know everything. Maybe you should ask him again. Bible passages face many different interpretations. Just because I may not read it as the "oh-so-enlightened" kid's pastor-father doesn't warrant that I'm wrong.
