You may be confusing "adding scripture" with "adding to scripture".
When you say "Yes, that's ANOTHER rhetorical question", you seem to be now admitting that you were dissembling when you criticised me for treating your earlier question as rhetorical.
And BTW you both added to scripture and took away from scripture. You wrote "scrpturre".

You are right that there are many metaphors used to describe the Christian and their relationship to Christ. The sheep-goat metaphor is used in conjunction purposefully to juxtapose the believer with the unbeliever. Otherwise, there would be an example of a goat being changed to a sheep. Never find this in scripture. Incidentally, you find the same thing with the wheat-tare metaphor.
God could have easily used a caterpillar-butterfly metaphor to do as you suppose. I don't recall it from scripture.

You don't seem to understand what I'm saying. God can't be wholly righteous unless He is knowing all things always. He would be no different to us. There are always choices and if you don't know the answer you have as much chance to be wrong as you have to be right. It is precisely because God is knowing all things always that he is 100% righteous and is the very reason why trusting in His word makes us righteous. We are made righteous through faith.
Romans 4:5
But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,

documenting through responses to you, though you dissemble and try to deny it. Also, asking a
rhetorical question is not dissembling as you falsely accuse. Get some integrity, PLEASE.
It would seem to me that there must be some significance in that God did not (actively) deny Adam knowledge... and that this was not done, by even God, that the not doing is an act, or rather a refrain from acting, of love considering the action, or nonaction in this case, is from God.
And if this is so, then, can we conclude that God, in love, actually, did not deny Adam anything?
Does anyone see where I'm going here? (and oh, I know you are probably thinking, "to hell?" but no... not going to hell )

entangled particles change state instantaneously according to a star change of their entangled partner, even from one side of the universe to the other. since information can only travel at the speed of light, the entangled particle 'observes' the information even while that information only exists in the future. since that observation can physically only be made at the speed of light, the information about the future can only come from that observer - He is the link between the two that transcends time and space.
