1 | Who or what is the Tree of Life? | John 19:42 | Earnest | 85479 | ||
Thanks Emmaus. For other tree ref. Ps.1 and Isa.55 I also think it is a literal tree. I would think Adam and Eve were literal weren't they? Jesus spoke of them. |

Earnest, You wrote "Jesus spoke of them", referring to Adam and Eve. I agree completely and Jesus' comments on the great OT stories are what convinced me to believe the Bible more literally. Jesus spoke of Jonah and his 3 days in the belly of the fish, and said that He was greater than Jonah (Mt 12:39-41). He didn't say He was greater than a figure representing God's anger at disobedience. Jesus spoke of Moses as the author of the early books of the Bible (numerous references), He would know! I concluded that if Jesus says it is so, it is so. This has been a somewhat recent conversion of mine, but it is powerful and makes studying the Bible even more powerful, because it takes away the doubt and questioning if this or that is literal or figurative. reilly |
