At no point in the creation story in Genesis is there any indication that any of it is meant to be taken symbolically, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tree's of life will also be in God's city when He brings it down to the earth. Rev. 21:10. Revelation 22: 1-2, And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2, In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

If we consider the period of time when Adam and Eve were on the earth... No cell phones. No Elevators No Nikes No Big Screen TVs No Gym Memberships No Lady GaGa No Delta Jets No Silver Dollars No Subways No White House No Palestinians No Telescopes No Walmart No Bicycles No Tom Cruise Movies No Rolex Watches No Microwaves No Nukes No Tattoos No Tongue Piercings No 10 Commandments No King Size Mattresses No Tap Water No Toilets you could flush No Nothin' , pretty much.. - So what im showing you, is, how primitive it was... It was the raw beginnings. It was the Earth, God, The Devil, Adam & Eve.......and that was about IT. So, yeah, trees, apples, = disobedience. Kinda makes perfect sense... that God would tell them they couldn't have access to the fruit provided by the Malus pumila Tree, as what else was there? Then 1, 2, 3, and the Adamic (cursed) Nature is in charge, with the Devil at the Wheel. Edited May 26, 2018 by Behold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
