What is your OPINION and why? Tree of Life

[Bro. Robbins]

I personally do not believe it was any fruit that you will find in the world today. Fruit here doesn't mean, fruit... like, opposite of vegetable.... But fruit here means, byproduct. It is a "thing" that was produced by this tree... I do believe literally. It was something they could see, could touch, and evidently could eat... but I don't believe it resembled or was anything that we can put our hands on today.

Before the Law, they knew no sin. God's (Voice, Word) told them NOT to eat of the forbidden tree. Eve chose what she could see (physically). Adam ate also.

They were not given a right to the Tree of Life because of their choice to disobey. Is it not true that today many choose the forbidden, simply because it looks good to the eyes. It is fleshly, amd is forbidden. Mankind has not changed much, has it! The Law was given for transgression UNTIL the SEED (JESUS CHRIST) could come. The Law could NOT make anyone Righteous!

Could it be that in Rev. 21, that once again mankind was given another chance to choose the Tree of Life (Jesus Christ), the River of Life (Holy Spirit) and street of gold (Highway of Holiness)! Adam and Eve were offered Eternal Life, but they chose what they could SEE with their physical eyes. It's all in the PROMISE of THE FATHER! The Holy Ghost. (The River of Life). What are we hungry and thirsty for! Your LIFE, (Eternal or otherwise) depends on the choice we make!! O, Taste and SEE that the LORD IS GOOD!

The fruit Adam and Eve chose was something they could see with natural or physical eyes. But the Tree of Life was fruit they could not see because it requires faith to see SPIRITUAL things. Spiritual things can only be seen through eyes of faith (can't see them physically). And we must have the Holy Spirit to see through spiritual eyes. Things of the Spirit are HIDDEN from those who make the wrong choice. That is why they were FORBIDDEN to stay in the garden. They didn't know they were naked until after their disobedience.
Physical things are TEMPORARY. Spiritual things are Eternal! Everlasing!

Some thoughts!

I tend to agree. Whatever was produced by the tree of life and the tree of knowledge was unique to the garden and is not even remotely accessible today.

You are aware of the "demon seed" doctrine, that the fruit of the tree was Eve having sex with the serpent--in his "pre-curse" form (he got cursed right after)--resulting in Cain? Many believe this is the "man" referred to in the sixth day, creation, and "Ish," a different reference for man, came through Abel in an "eighth-day creation." I think I have that right. That "Man" in Scripture is referred to as either "Ish" or "Adam," and a..."Biblical" definition of "seed" in the story makes this view compelling. The phrase "eth ha Adam" also is significant in this as a divider, seemingly--"eth ha Adam" signifies one of the two, forget which.
