You could call it "the tree of testing", since that is precisely what it was. To partake of its fruit was to disobey God. (And it definitely was not an apple). And it was the disobedience which produced both guilt and shame. It would be similar to a mother teaching her youngster to avoid going near a hot stove, since the consequences could be very serious. If she left a burner on, it would be "the burner of testing". If the child disobeyed, he would get burned. If he obeyed nothing would happen.

I don't believe in a natural tree is going to give life eternal. That is what Jesus is for and his powers and words heals us. Prov 4:20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. The 2 witnesses are refer to as olive trees Trees are used as metaphors. I believe Jesus is the tree of life as also the bread of life. He is the tree of life and Satan is the tree of death. Which family tree do you want to be a part of ? Satan is the tree of death? where in the Bible did you get that. He is the father of lies but tree of death???? And the Tree of Life was a real tree.

You really need to stop reading things into Scripture that aren't there. It's bad enough atheists and unbelievers take pot-shots at Christianity for what it is; do not give them extra ammunition by providing them with such remarks.

They were just two natural trees for testing. So in Revelation 2 is there really a natural tree to eat from ? I don't see it as a natural tree, metaphor yes. Jesus is the tree of life, eat of him you will have life, like he said about being the bread from heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were made the sixth or last of creation. As God's revelation to us of Himself we understand that which was made as to sensual exist was not a necessary but was for God's pleasure in the making... God 'IS' complete in His Own Persons and was not a lack or need but merely expressions of that completeness as we read here His witness of suchPs 33 prepares the heart for the fuller revelation of this Romans 1:20 (KJV) [20] For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Never start with the created element as the complete but with God to whom the created element points... releasing the demands of ourselves empties the vessel for God to place the pleasures of Himself stored for His Glory... all created elements are not in themselves anything but merely pointers to God unto the Glory of God ... I know when I am puffed up by the measure of my industry toward the created element in comparison to that which it points -> idolatry is an illusive and subtle thing to be discarded 2 Peter 3:10 (KJV) [10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. [11] Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, [12] Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? [13] Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. for God is taking us into a reality whereby all that we have began in is useless to what will be 1 Corinthians 2:9 (KJV) [9] But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. We often speak or think we may discern the depths but they held in the tension of time and God Who will reveal in His good time...
