What is "On the day you eat of it, you will surely die" to someone who does not know death? What is "die" to him? It is a meaningless concept, until it is experienced.

Again, I think, it refers to the same thing Paul fought all his ministry. Self advancing self, making himself god by not needing God. It was knowledge of everything that's good to know what to do, and everything that's evil to know what not to do. That way, it replaces God. Walking after the flesh is making oneself improve through independence. Walking after the Spirit is God's life living through us.
Knoweldge of good and evil is very religious sounding. And it's in all our blood now. How many people instinctively feel they're not good enough, and need to work on that before they can come to God?
