The Custodians clearly did not want mankind to begin traveling the road to spiritual recovery. The reason is obvious. The Custodial society wanted slaves. It is difficult to make thralls of people who maintain their integrity and sense of ethics. It becomes impossible when those same individuals are uncowed by physical threats due to a reawakened grasp of their spiritual immortality.
This syncs very nicely with yesterday’s guest post by Serhei on Bruce’s blog: “What if the absence of ‘Christian slaves’ shows that ‘slavery’ is no longer enforceable?” If you haven’t already read this very important post, you should.

I think "the knowledge of good and evil" introduced a subtle epistemological perversion. Before, God creates and calls it "good," or, notices a lack (man is alone,) calls it "not good," and fixes it. Much more pragmatic, and does not reify "evil."
Gnosticism has well-artificed arguments, but I dislike the melody. It has not a note of love, only of campaigning analysis.
