No longer does mankind (Adam and Eve) use YHVH's Judgment as their own. They use their own as God's.

-Selah

The knowledge of Good and evil made them condemned. They hide from their source of Life -- every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

Why? They hide because their judgment has become in their mind superior to God's. They believe what their soul knows better by good and evil over the Word whom is Truth. Their relative judgment has now become how they live, and that life is not life at all, it is death and decay.

They find themselves unable return to truth because of this overriding knowledge of Good and evil. Only the One with Truth judgment can rescue them from their sin, but this does stop them from believing that they can rescue themselves by choosing the good over the evil (root choices). The problem is though that there is NONE good but God. And only he can judge (choose) them out of their trouble.

[Good thing he saw all of this coming, and planned for it before he made them] He is perfect remember!

He has to do all the work, and He does through Christ, only He did not get rid of their souls that still try to choose this good and evil. He gives them hope in the day when the knowledge of good and evil will be destroyed, in their soul.

This happens in resurrection, and is guaranteed in Christ resurrection because He is the new mankind. And we find our truth (reality) in Him.
