Genesis 3:22-23 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

Now, considering the verses, the very question that comes to mind is? 

Where is eden, is it the place of the presence of God as some people claims or a place on earth. For God send them to the ground... 

Now man has become as one of us;

One of us in what sense. 

Who are the ones.? 

I would be happy if someone can help me shed light on these.

I tend to think, that Eden was a real place on the pre-flood earth, it is even said to be in a certain location, the detail seem awfully specific to just be a tale like Aesop's Fables:

10Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers.11The name of the first is Pishon; it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12The gold of that land is good; the bdellium and the onyx stone are there. 13The name of the second river is Gihon; it flows around the whole land of Cush. 14The name of the third river is Tigris; it flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

I think "one of us" in that they now knew the difference between good and evil, they become morally aware, and with that condemned for going against God's will in any number of way, not like innocent children.

As far as who the one's are, I would suspect that would be the three persons of God, The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, all of whom participated in the creation.

and . . . Welcome to Worthy!

Eden is likely now under the waters of Noah's Flood. It was a real place, inside of Eden was also the special Garden, blocked from humans forever.

Note the "US" in the verse you cite, God is a triunity of three persons.

Adam and Eve became like God in that they knew what good and evil were (obedience and rebellion).

If I could be honest I will tell you that I pretty much avoid Genesis and Revelations.

 

The Bible is a history book and God had to put a beginning and end and that's what I feel they are. 

They complete the story. 

The important stuff that we need to know is very clearly spelled out. 

 

I feel, and this is just me, that when we focus on questions like this that we aren't focusing on the things that really matter. 

 

In my view, God didn't put riddles in the Bible for us to find, He let us know what He wants us to know, the rest is just there.

Both Genesis and Revelations are important. Genesis is far more than a history book, it contains much information we need. I urge you to have another read, and start a thread with any questions you have.

You have raised my curiosity. 

 

What do you find important to our salvation in Genisis?

It tells us how the world was created, and how sin came into it. It tells us how God dealt with that situation, and the foundations of the the path which led to Jesus coming to us to die for us and save us.

Exactly my point. 

 

Its a history lesson and not relevant to our salvation. 

 

God had to write a beginning and an end. 

 

That's essentially all it is.

I'll be sure to do so.  My wife has been interviewed for the Zola Levitt program along with her music ... not sure when it's going to be added to a program.  I know Myles ... we spent some time together at the Messianic Leadership Round table last month.  I really love him.  Very sincere brother in the Lord!

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
