Could the Dome of the Rock sit where the tree of Evil was?

[Sevenseas]

As far as Perry Stone and his theory goes?  I would say no.  I would say no to quite a bit of what Perry Stone presents as his latest interpretation or mystical Bible based hidden gem of the week.

 

That is no reflection on you...just on Mr. Stone

[OakWood]

I'm wrong. I'm sorry. Anybody else want to have a go?

Hey ~  it's ok to be wrong...it's how you receive it.  We've all been...'wrong'...at some point.  No prob.  

 

Mr. Stone bothers me more than anything you could say anyway.  He presents off the wall interpretations and supposed new Biblical truths and people believe him

unless they do research with more reputable sources.

 

Don't mean to upset you.

You personally didn't.

It was more like the tree of knowledge to "distinguish" good from evil. Although nothing was evil in the garden except for the snake, which tempted Eve to eat from that tree, and so sin was born within the mind and spirit. If God wanted to create a perfect race without knowledge of evil doing only good, He wouldn't have placed that tree in the garden in the first place. So yes like Otherone mentioned, the whole plan probably has to do with us judging angels in the end, the fallen ones. The human race will judge the fallen somehow to end the celestial war. (IMO)

Edit on that phrase: I meant He wouldn't have allowed evil to dwell in the garden. The tree itself wasn't evil.

I apologise. I always thought that the tree of life was put there by God and the tree of knowledge of good and evil was put there by Satan to tempt man. God allowed it because he allows Satan to tempt us (although he never tempts us himself). That's the way I read it, but my betters have corrected my misinterpretation, not only that but I've also been accused of 'altering God's word'.

However, I will point out that misinterpreting God's word is not the same as altering it, otherwise either the pre-Tribbers or post-Tribbers are in serious trouble!

There are no "betters". We are all a part of the same foundation, ( that foundation being Christ ) and what occurred here was an attempt to strengthen and realign that foundation. 

 

Some plant, some water, but it is always God who gives the increase. 

 

Be in peace, knowing your brothers and sisters have your back.

One part of what you posted originally referred to a tree of evil, or satan's tree. The devil had no tree in the garden. Everything made there was called good by God. Not evil. Satan held nothing.

 

Are you sure about that? Even if it wasn't the Devil's tree, it was the tree that he (Satan) really wanted Adam and Eve to eat from. It was the tree that Satan was hoping that man would steal the fruit from, and therefore you could class it as the Devil's tree. Even if Satan did not create it, nor even think of creating it, it was his tree purely because of what it symbolised and because it would help his cause towards beating God. I'm not wrong to call it the tree of Evil. Once Eve took a bite from the fruit that grew on it, that was one point to Satan and zero points to God.

At that point Satan owned that tree and I would be free to say that he has owned it ever since!

 

 

Satan tried to get them to disobey God. It wasnt that the tree was evil or that it was satans tree. It was the act of disobedience to God that was the sin.

 

Edited to add, please dont be offended by this post. I did not read to the end of the thread before posting this reply.

It's ok we've all done it before. I tend to assume a lot of things myself to come up with answers, even with part of what I posted when I wrote: "If God wanted to create a perfect race without knowledge of evil doing only good, I don't think He would've allowed evil to dwell in the garden in the first place, probably would've kept it outside of it if anything." That is pure assumption on my part although it makes sense "to me", but I could be completely wrong so I probably shouldn't have even mentioned it.
