I believe your answer is in Genesis 3:15 it has caused enmity between us all actually. It causes divide, with this it also can cause eternal separation.
Why God the Father considered this fruit as forbidden?

I really don't think the tree of life was designed to work like a vaccine.
According to Gen 3:22 and Rev 22:2 the tree is a remedy, a medication,
for treating whatever ails you including, apparently, the aging process.
From what I gather, Adam was created with perpetual youth, which of
course he lost due to tampering with a fruit known to be unfit for human
consumption. The tree of life is able to cure mortality but Adam was
informed he would surely die if he tasted the forbidden fruit so there was
no going back on that.

In the beginning, God appointed mankind to be the creation's master and
commander over all things.
● Gen 1:26-28 . . And God said: Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
. . So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him; male and female created he them.
. . And God blessed them, and God said unto them: Be fruitful, and multiply,
and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of
the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth
upon the earth.
However, God didn't create mankind omniscient, i.e. all-knowing. From what
I gather, it was God's intention that mankind was to govern the world a little
at a time as a protégé learning the ropes. So, I suspect that the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil wasn't the only thing on God's list that He
would, in time, instruct mankind to steer clear of, nor was the realm of
nature the only sector God had in mind. Anon the scope of mankind's
governance likely would've been expanded to include managing people too.
● 2Sam 23:3-4 . .The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me: He
that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. And he shall be
as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without
clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after
rain.

This is what God the Father's waiting.
The words of God were given to man not to understand them but to ask Mercy to God. Because God the Father is Speaking in Parables (Psalms 78:2 & Ezekiel 20:49).
I'm sure God the Father has the reason and will reveal through his words when we are ready to listen.
That is not correct English. I suspect the last word should be “wanting”, but even then, “Father’s” should be “Father is”.
Again the grammar here is incorrect. It should be, “mercy from God”. Also, your statement is factually incorrect on two points: mercy is the wrong word completely, and God gives His word to be understood by those with faith in Him. It is veiled to those who are perishing.
You have been corrected on those point several times by several people. Why do you persist in your error?
Theme Theme Theme.
There are Themes written into scriptures for a reason....
God creating the plan for man's redemption BEFORE he was even created kinda is the big clue here.
God gave man a garden to live in and a task to perform (gardening) . Low stress....
Adam was instructed to give back a tiny portion as a way of remembering what God had done. (Assumption is that a first year fruits from a young tree....no specific tree or fruit but each first year's fruit from a tree was God's...as is later stated specifically in the Law)
Adam gave "names"/entitlements to the animals....because of what God gave Adam. So then God gave Adam a wife.
Adam gave her a title/name too. "Mother of all living" is what Hawwa means (Eve in Latin)
Life was a non-stop "giving party" where everything kept getting better and better all the time.
Thats when everything went to crap.
Instead of giving God his requested portion back....they took it so they could be more like God and hang out with Him more. (Who wouldn't want to hang out with God more?....His Goodness is very very very attractive)
Adam knew the prohibition and warning....used Eve as his guinea pig to test to see if eating it caused her to die. AFTER she didnt die, he ate it as well.
if Eve had died....Adam woulda asked God for another one. "Her fault, I told her not to but she did it anyway....can i have another one?"

The fruit was likely the grape because creation has the hallmark of Passover
I'd like to think the fruit was a warm fudge brownie with cookies and cream ice cream!
Well, it would tempt me!
Joins 2nd time the charm for marshmallow chocolate ice cream with blueberry muffin
The Bible says we will be like Jesus after the resurrection. So I think that means that we will have Jesus' nature and choose not to sin. A good example was when satan tried to tempt Him to sin and He didn't.
how long does it take to make two tunics from fig leaves, from scratch, and why did they spend zero time instead eating from the other tree?
they had ample opportunity.
who is the idiot here, us or Adam?
was not eating of the tree of life after the tree of death a ridiculously stupid decision, or an absolutely brilliant one?
you have been tainted by sin for the first time in all history for 10 seconds, what do you do?
disagree.
Pesach is the shedding of innocent blood to make garments for them, by God's hand.
the fruit was likely a fig, and likely what Cain one day wickedly, intentionally offered, instead of a lamb provided by Abel, the first prophet, to commemorate that first Pesach which was the Holy creation of redemptive robes for mankind.
creation itself is closer to firstfruits, tho yes, the creation pattern is the Paschal pattern
This is an example that God the Father is Speaking in Parables.
In this verse, God the Father gave a warning to Adam & Eve.
He said the day you eat the forbidden fruit you will surely die. God the Father is always telling the Truth because he is the Truth.
They eat the forbidden fruit but Adam & Eve did not die on that day. In fact they still lived longer until they had children.
GENESIS 2:17
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
That is not a parable. You are veering away from the truth because of your misunderstanding of a couple of verses.
I noticed that, that's all you ever do is tell people they're wrong. I don't think I've read a positive post of yours yet.
You must be at the age where you know everything. I remember when I knew everything, lol.
With “GodisGood” I usually tell him he’s wrong because he is usually wrong. I can’t help it if those are the only posts of mine that you have seen.
So yes, you’re wrong too.
I remember asking my oldest boy if he woke up one morning knowing everything or was he walking along one day and wham there it was? He didnt think it was funny.
