The tree of knowledge of good and evil.

[Littlelambseativy]

Yet once Eve ate of the fruit in the Garden she must have known what wrong she did - I guess did not want to be separated from Adam and convinced him to eat too - then he like any man in love did as the woman asked without thinking of the consequences. Now Eden is guarded by a cherub lost to us though here on earth!! The tree in Rev. is for the healing of the nations is it not?? We on the other hand know the difference between good and evil and as Adam and Eve throw caution to the wind.

 Do you think Adam and Eve never knew what was good before they sin ?

[Littlelambseativy]

I don't think think they knew what evil was before they sinned.

I am talking about good not evil ?

Blessings Everyone,

      I always thought of it as being in another dimension as other one suggested...........I believe in the same dimension where the angels are so are many other things parallel to our little dimension.......Gods Word tells me it does still exist so of that I am sure......where,that is left to my imagination.?...for now!

Do you think that Adam willifully took of the fruit from Eve ?

 

 

The bible tells us eve was deceived and adam willfully sinned.

[other one]

my question has always been, does knowledge of good and evil mean the same thing as right and wrong.....

[rjp34652]

 

 

That is an interesting question.  I would venture a guess it was destroyed.  It serves no more purpose.  In heaven, there is the knowledge of all truth.  Once Adam and Eve partook of the fruit of that tree, the knowledge of good and evil was unleashed upon all the inhabitants of the earth.  At first, I thought you were asking about the tree of life, which I believe to be in heaven, but the tree of the knowledge of good and evil likely no longer exists, but only God knows for sure. 

Why do you think the tree of life is in Heaven ?

 

What happen to the garden of Eden ?

 

Because of those scriptures that DeaneRenata posted from Revelation 22.  I had them in mind when I gave that response, but she posted them, saving me the trouble.  The garden of Eden is an interesting question.  Perhaps God moved the entire garden to heaven?  I have pondered on it before.  Perhaps God uprooted the entire garden, and the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil are both still in the garden?  I don't think they are on the earth anymore.  Only God knows for sure, but that makes the most sense to me.   

 

 

The Garden of Eden wasn't transplanted to heaven.  

 

If it were, the Bible would have given evidence of it.  Instead we read the entire sad story of the fall of man from grace in Genesis 3.   God stationed a cherubim at the east gate of the garden.  The angel has a flaming sword that turns in every direction.   Fire is sometimes used to connote TIME or a passage of time of indeterminate length.  For example, when the devil is cast into the lake of fire there is no suggestion of a length of stay.  It is assumed to be timeless.  The symbol of the sword suggests force.   In short, the Garden of Eden is exactly where it always has been, we just can't access it either because some force is preventing us or because the time isn't open for us to do it. 

 

The tree of Life appears in Revelation as well as Genesis.  As mentioned in an earlier post Revelation 22 suggests that the Tree of Life will reappear on each side of a river proceeding out of the Holy City.  It will have 12 kinds of fruit, each kind ripening in a different month of the year.   Each type of fruit will be used for healing a different class of malady.   Minute Maid will become a rival to every pharmaceutical corporation on the planet.

 

The answer to these questions and more may be found in the Bible.  No guessing.  No fuzzy logic.  No joke.

 

and that's just me, hollering from the choir loft...

Eve hearken unto the devil voice yet she was decieve thus Adam hearken unto the voice of his wife yet she decieved him note her eyes would have open first thus she knew by giving Adam the fruit was evil thus she decieved him into eating it 

 

just a thought

 I to believe it is on the earth also the rivers are still there just no one actually know the star of the rivers thus they can never find the garden

Revelation 21:4

New International Version (NIV)

 

4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[a] ormourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

if the Tree of Life is found in the new creation and is for healing of the nations, how can that be reconciled with the concept of no more tears, no more sorrow, no more pain then, which we read in Revelation 21:4?
