I believe that our friend THECROSS is a Catholic, and he has an interesting point of view to share that is different from my own, since I am a Protestant. The fact that there is a tree of life shows us that man did indeed have the potential to live forever in unbroken harmony with God! There was a choice to be made- which tree would man eat from first?? If it was the tree of life, then man would have lived forever with God and in His presence! If it was the tree of knowledge of good and evil: well, we all know what happened... It is interesting to note that man was specifically commanded by God not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil (but he still ate it first). Man was not given a similar command to avoid the tree of life. Nolan |

Nolan, Great post. Man was not guaranteed to live forever - just because he was created. He had to go to the tree of life to gain eternal life. Just as we need to go to the cross. The tree of knowledge of good and evil is what the world takes and wants. We each have a choice. I do not think not choosing either is an option, for Adam or us. Another question is why is there the tree of life is Rev. 22? Do we need it, since we are in heaven. I read it is for the healing of nations (vs 2). Steve |
