MrPresident1:
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:

Since my pastor don ban me from church because of small misunderstanding, let me learn from Rev budaatum who's filled with the Holy Ghost this hot afternoon.

budaatum:

Thank you for your contribution. It does not fully answer the question at all, however good all the same.
"Pure righteous wisdom from God" sounds like the good wheat, while "the impure left hand wisdom" sounds like the bad chaff.
Can a person who has not eaten the fruit of the tree that produces both know the difference between the two and know which to do?
Basically, can an ignorant person separate the wheat from the chaff?

MrPresident1:
Deuteronomy 18:9-11 King James Version 9 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. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil were performing abominable works, your fruits are the works of your hand, they were passing their children through the fire and sacrificing them to molech. Idolatry is the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The Law of the LORD that he gave to Moses is the pure righteous wisdom

budaatum:

Basically, can an ignorant person separate the wheat from the chaff?

budaatum:


I see you quote the Bible. What would you say if I were to claim the beginning of eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is you reading the Bible?

Would you quote from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil if you had not eaten it's fruit?

budaatum:
...Basically, can an ignorant person separate the wheat from the chaff?

MrPresident1:
This is not about what you 'claim' or your opinion. You drew your question from the Bible and we are using the same Bible to answer you. The tree is people and the fruits are the works of their hands. The heathen had abominable works like burning children in sacrifice to devils IDOLATRY. Israel had the Law of the LORD which is the law of Moses

budaatum:


Sir! What you've written is your claim and your opinion based on your own understanding of the Bible, so stop making out like you have some direct connection to the Bible or God that no one else has!

There is nowhere in the Bible where it is claimed the tree of knowledge is people or the works of anyone's hands!

Dtruthspeaker:


If thou wilt learn, "ignorance" is not the same as lack of knowledge! Dictionaries to be blamed for this.

Ignorance means rejection and a casting away of an information given you.

Lack of knowledge means no one gave you that knowledge at all and neither could you reasonably and naturally acquire that information.

Which is why in Law, "ignorance is not an excuse or defence but lack of knowledge is"!

MrPresident1:
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:

Dtruthspeaker:
I do not think this question is relevant for we were not there at the time to know and understand that "tree" this was or is.

The relevant Truth is that we, who were born after its eating find that we automatically know those things which are good from those things that are evil.

MrPresident1:
The abominations that they were performing were their fruits. Except you a a human hyena, devoid of conscience, that's when you can not know the difference between the 'wheat and the chaff'

budaatum:


None of this infers that either tree is people or the works of anyone's hands!

MrPresident1:
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.


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.

MrPresident1:

budaatum:


Abomination that who was performing MrP?

The text clearly states "the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil", so are you suggesting that the tree was performing evil with it's fruits?

budaatum:


So, according to you, the tree was envious of the man God is written to have put 8n the Garden to tend it?

Thank you for your contribution.

MrPresident1:
You are just being willfully blind! They were all trees in the garden!

budaatum:

It it rather obvious that one can be given knowledge that one can choose to ignore. We would therefore claim that person lacks knowledge due to their act if ignoring.

budaatum:

Knowledge, is however, not the same as information. One can have information about square roots, for instance, and not have knowledge of it relevance to one's existence, or how to ise them.

budaatum:


Adam and Eve were trees in the Garden of Eden?

If so, then yes I am being willfully blind, because no where is that what I see with my own eyes, which perhaps are not as good as your eyes.

Consider yourself more blessed with better eyes than buda.

MrPresident1:
Yes. Your fathers were very envious and subtil

budaatum:


It is obviously relevant to me, which is why I opened a thread on the subject.

If it is not relevant to you then I suggest you not waste your own time on it, DT, and let me waste mine.

MrPresident1:
Ezekiel 31:9
