The tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, both are allegoric terms that Moses used to describe respectively the pure righteous wisdom from God and also the impure left hand wisdom which though also from Him but not approved by Him, this impure wisdome is idolatry. God is the owner of all knowledge.

Trees are men and the works of their hands is their fruits.

Genesis 2:9
And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Exodus 34:12
Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:

WHAT IS THE GARDEN OF EDEN?

Genesis 2:8
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

Lebanon, Syria, Babylon and all ancient landmarks in the Bible are all towards the East.

It is a well known fact that the writers of the Bible are Asiatic men.

Ezekiel 31:9
I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.

Eden is the term for the blessed land of enjoyment that God placed Israel. Eden was the good land, the perfect and productive land that was full of all manner of riches and blessings; it was the the blessed land.

There were other trees in the garden apart from Israel (Adam and Eve), the instruction God gave to Adam was to subdue these other trees, these corrupted trees that were bearing corrupt fruit, God commanded Adam to destroy them completely or else they would corrupt him and then become a snare in the midst of the land for him

Adam was told to completely destroy those trees or else they will eventually destroy him.

Deuteronomy 32:13
He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.

THE TREE OF LIFE

This is the wisdom of God. Godly wisdom that comes from God. This is Christ.

Proverbs 3:13,18
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

Deuteronomy 4:6-9
Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
7 For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;

What is Adam?

The wisdom of God is the Law that God gave to the Israelites. This is what many refer to as the Law of Moses. This was the Law that was to be the holy constitution of the Israelites, the Israelites had the Law of God to be their holy law, and adherence to this law would make them a wise, discerning, progressive and prosperous nation. It would make them the greatest most beautiful and most blessed and most developed and most enlightened and most industrialized and most prosperous nation on the face of the earth.

A nation of kings and priests to the Most High God.

A nation of Holy men.

THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD TO ISRAEL (ADAM AND EVE)

Deuteronomy 18:9-14
When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

THE DISOBEDIENCE THE EATING OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL.

Eating the fruits of this tree was partaking of the evil works of idolatry

Jeremiah 32:30
For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the LORD.
31 For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
32 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
33 And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
34 But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.
35 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

They did evil and even surpassed their neighbours in evil, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil became a snare to them, in their midst. They worshiped ball, and sacrificed their children to molech in fire, they committed adulteries and abominations, they became hard hearted, wicked and evil, blood flowed continuously until God was tired of them, and chased them out of the garden, out of the pleasant land, the glory of all lands.

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was in the midst of the garden as was the tree of life. How did this tree find its way into the garden of God? They were the original owners/inhabitants of the land and Israel was commanded to to take over the land from them and also to destroy them completely.

Israel was commanded never to have any association with her deeply corrupted and idolatrous neighbors who were the embodiment of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Israel was to completely destroy these trees that were her near neighbours sparing neither male nor female, never to interact with them, never to marry from them or give in marriage to them.

Israel disobeyed God. She was deceived into idolatry; deceived into partaking of the fruit of the evil tree, she did worse than the original idolaters, she was became completely corrupted until there was no more remedy for her.

2 Chronicles 36:14-16
Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
15 And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.

They polluted the house of God in Jerusalem, they mocked His messengers, they misused and abused His prophets. He sent many messengers to them but they were obstinate. They refused to change from their wicked ways until there was no more remedy.

WHAT IS THE GARDEN OF EDEN?

Genesis 2:8
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

Lebanon, Syria, Babylon and all ancient landmarks in the Bible are all towards the East.

It is a well known fact that the writers of the Bible are Asiatic men.

Ezekiel 31:9
I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.

Eden is the term for the blessed land of enjoyment that God placed Israel. Eden was the good land, the perfect and productive land that was full of all manner of riches and blessings; it was the the blessed land.

There were other trees in the garden apart from Israel (Adam and Eve), the instruction God gave to Adam was to subdue these other trees, these corrupted trees that were bearing corrupt fruit, God commanded Adam to destroy them completely or else they would corrupt him and then become a snare in the midst of the land for him

Adam was told to completely destroy those trees or else they will eventually destroy him.

Deuteronomy 32:13
He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.

Garden of Eden is God's plan A for man where he fend for man, is not that is a garden as people portrays is but God's care for man, but Adam lost it and we are now living in plan B where u fend for ursef.

Tree of good and evil is unclothedness of human. mind you there are more undisclosed things God hidded from us there. I think fornication played a major role there.

Human is a tree who bears fruits (children) that's why it called "fruit of the womb" and the same tree can bear good and evil fruit (no be woman born Evans) .

Eve committed fornication from other creature or something and bear Cane, while Abel was the real son of Adam.

Too long.......even for Church, na short verses I dey always read

[quote]What is Adam?[/quote
Adam is the father of ur father's father, father, father, father, father.....continue with the father till u can no longer open ur mouth n talk.

I still dont understand the whole Adam and eve story. Like how does it relate to me? When I'm not even responsible for what my grandfather did while alive, why am i being responsible for Adam and eve's foolishness ? Religion confuses more than it assures.

okay
