Bible Question:
Hi and thanks in advance for your help. In Genesis 2:17 have you heard anything to the effect that God is implying the fruit of tree of the knowledge of good and evil should not be eaten because it constitutes the "first fruits" and there for belongs to Him. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Jimore, You ask, "In Genesis 2:17 have you heard anything to the effect that God is implying the fruit of tree of the knowledge of good and evil should not be eaten because it constitutes the "first fruits" and there for belongs to Him." Related scripture verses: Ezekiel 47:7-12; Jeremiah 17:8; Revelation 2:7, 22:2-14 Based on these passages, if you conclude that those of the redeemed in Christ are the "first fruits" (Romans 8:23; 1 Cor. 15:20-23; James 1:18), and since God forbade fallen man to eat of the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden, then you would be correct. Blessings to you, Makarios |
