What is the significance of the two trees In Garden of Eden...was it something in the literal fruit or what the trees signified?

man was not created having everlasting life...it would need repleneshing from time to time from GOD.

you see this in revelation chapter 22 when GOD restores eden and the curse is lifted.

revelation 22

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever

I thought Darth Vader was going to ride in on a Unicorn and chop down the tree for light saber fuel. Who really buys any of this shit in 2016?

The trees (namely olive trees) represent oil production throughout most of the bible. Oil production represents having your lamp lit/having the glory of GOD; called the HOLY SPIRIT. (Isaiah 62; alluded to)

This place is similar to a prison for your spirit, keeping you trapped in flesh (Psalm 107:26)

The problem is that people take some of the places described in the bible as literal. Jerusalem, Israel, Zion, are the ones that are continually taken as literally flesh based places whereas they don't necessarily mean flesh based places; Jerusalem and Zion in particular are often allegorical to the Spirit (through the Heart) and Mind. This is why GOD's tabernacle is your body and gaining the HOLY SPIRIT reconnects you with GOD. (John 2:19)

Let the cat out of the bag on this one.

My best guess is there was something in the tree of knowledge that disabled their telomerase enzyme from sealing up their telemoeres, at the end of their chromosomes, cause genetic degeneration, which the Tree of Life would neutralize.

Well.......you and I and everyone else alive here in 2016
grow old and die because of what happened in Eden...so....

Interesting that the scripture you quoted in Revelation is the cross reference scripture in Genesis...

That simple huh????

Oh no no....... see that's because of a cosmic collision with dark matter causing shock waves and the intergalactic pole shift turning the universe inside out, reversing infinity which is why it's all shrinking back to the big bang singularity where we'll all be recycled into cosmic dust in a black hole and start the whole failure over again corrupting a parallel universe with our insatiable greed for domination of others.. Ya gotta keep current with stuff ya know?

The origin of the Knowledge of Truth is the “Tree of Life”, representing the non-dualistic, 2-dimensional ‘flat’ space consciousness Created ‘by and in the image of God’ and conveyed by the Vision of the “Son of man”.

@michaelizabeth

I feel a twilight episode coming around here....

No.. violating the tree of knowledge was the termination of Adams scientific education leaving everyone descendant subject to ignorance, and ultimately the ruination of the entire bio-sphere due to frustrated rivalries and power struggles for dominance.

Coming on? I'm trying to decide whether or not to come back.....been there ...ya know?

There is only one thing that they do not want you to understand

ROMANS 7
1Do you not know, brothers and sisters—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives? 2For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him. 3So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.

4So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5For when we were in the realm of the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. 6But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.


7What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have KNOWN what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have KNOWN what COVETING really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”b 8 BUT SIN, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, PRODUCED IN ME EVERY KIND OF COVETING For apart from the law, sin was dead. 9Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. 11FOR SIN, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, DECIEVED ME, and through the commandment put me to death. 12So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.

13Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good to bring about my death, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.

KNOWING EVIL
THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL


Crafty is that old serpent.

the fruit of life
was fruit from the vegetation of another planet

one where the sun never set


if we were to eat of this food
which Jesus invites us to so

we too will live forever
when ADAM and EVE were first placed here on earth, they did not want to eat the food here
for they knew it would bind them to this planet

and it did

therefore the opposite would hold true

especially since we are part them

yes, and we were not to stray from that tree in the first place.

Why do you accept doctrines that tickle the ears instead of what is plainly written for your instruction and edification?

Knowing coveting (evil) = to have coveting (evil) produced in you.

why do you believe a jewish fairy tales?
or yeah because the bible says people would

What was the sin that was passed down to Cain?

It has been my thought that Adam and Eve were light beings. When they ate the fruit of the tree, they powered down (lost frequency) and became flesh beings, subject to death. To willfully disobey God is to invite death...it's a choice.

You have to look at creation from a scientific point of view. First, there was sound (frequency), then there was light (also frequency).

"The latest biophysical research confirms that we do not only consist of matter but also as an energy body, which actually consists, up to a certain degree, of visible light."

1Do you not know, brothers and sisters—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that THE LAW LORDSHIPS OVER over someone only as long as that person lives? 2For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him. 3So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.

4So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. TREE OF LIFE

5For when we were in the realm of the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. THE TREE OFTHE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL

6But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.

We bear fruit for God serving in the new way of the spirit
Or
we bear fruit for death, under the law in the old way of the written code, in the realm of the flesh, sinful passions aroused by the law at work in us bearing fruit for death.

JESUS - The Way, The Truth and The Life

Just as Eve was beguiled by the serpent, I fear that your minds may be swayed from....CHRIST

"Jewish"? Who has convinced you of such a thing, the religion of judaism ? Scripture testifies of JESUS CHRIST.
All of it.
From start to finish.

Is that the right question?


14But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. 15Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished/ grown, it brings forth death. 16Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.…

Cain envied Abel because God recognized the sacrifice to God of the lamb, while Cain offered of his harvest...made him angry at his brother:

Envy of the devil

23For God created man incorruptible, and to the image of his own likeness he made him. 24But by the envy of the devil, death came into the world: 25And they follow him that are of his side.

The tree of Knowledge produces Yang-Yin substance.
The tree of Life produces Qi energy.

If you don't understand hebrew or know jewish oral traditions, you're just as likely deciphering meaning from the funny pages.

Too many plays on words, double entendres and hidden references. Sorry

The Hewbrew Bible which became the OT was based on the Sumerian Tablets.

Here is a relevant example:

Genesis 3:22

Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—”


Sumerian Tablet:

Now the last bits of our life essence to these creatures you have given,
To be like us in procreation knowing, perchance our life cycles on them to bestow!
Thus did Enlil with angry words speak.
Enki Ninmah and Ningishzidda summoned, with words Enlil to pacify.
My lord Enlil! Ningishzidda was saying. Knowing for procreation they were given,
The branch of Long Living, to their essence tree was not!

No one lives forever, physically.

The tree of life can be seen as many things:

The building blocks to creation as well as ones own reality.

Thread: The world is the way it is because...

As well as physical plants or trees which give its taker long life. They are the first prototypes or trees of life which were brought to planet earth in its making. They are essentially what all other flora and fauna are based on.

The tree of knowledge is about good and evil.

Thread: If Lucifer is the "Prince" of Darkness...

herein lies your fundamental error... you have taken a mythological allegory and literalized it...

i mean really...do you actually believe that the entire human race has been cursed with inherent depravity, "original sin" or whatever, because the first humans were tempted to eat some fruit by a talking snake???...

but that's the thing... if you DON'T believe in this bizarre literal interpretation, then the entire foundation of christian theology comes crashing down...

There may have been something in the tree of knowledge that disabled their telomeres from maintaining their dna, or it may have been the result of nutrient deficiency outside of Eden. Sin itself didn't start their aging process, that's a consequence. As far as the tree of life, if it was symbolic there would be no point in posting a cherub with the sword. Not that I claim to understand this, just guessing.
