AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 3:22 ¶ And the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), knowing [how to distinguish between] good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take from the tree of life as well, and eat [its fruit], and live [in this fallen, sinful condition] forever"-- |
Bible Question (short): Why did god disallow the man to take... |
Question (full): In the NIV it says this way: "And the Lord God said, the man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." My question is why did God disallow the man to take part on the tree of life and had live forever? I just wonder if God did allow it then man should have been restored. I appreciate anyone who'll kind enough to share his thought on this matter. God Bless! inheavenseyes |
