Bible Question:
That Search option doesn't work as well as people think it does. I typed in Tree of Life and found a number of pages. The articles there either had the word Tree or Life in it, but none of them pointed me to anything on the Tree of Life. I love the Forum here. There is no doubt in my mind that this site is extremely helpful when it comes to studying God's Word. My understanding is that the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge are two separate trees. I, too, am looking into why God said you can eat from every tree except the Tree of Knowledge. What is the significance of the Tree of Life? |
