Subject: Did God Create Man Mortal? |
Bible Note: An interesting, safe and traditional point of view. But one that does little in explaining the purpose of the 'Tree of Life' seen at the beginning of the Bible and also at the end. Just it's placement at these two locations says something of it's importance. Also God himself said Adam and Eve must be prevented from eating from the tree or else they would live forever. Does that mean the Tree of life could have removed even a part of the curse of sin, a logical conclusion we would have to make if we were to accept this point of view. |
