will spew you out of my mouth...".

The "...knowledge of good and evil..." is mixing the
things that are holy with the things that are not.
Amen! !

Re: Why I Am A Futurist

iow, restating Esaias' last post, essentially. (Which i do agree with, btw) cool!
We never really identified the Tree of Life for this specific situation, but i think you guys have presented a pretty good witness for the Tree of KoGaE.

I said earlier, right or wrong, that the tree of life is like Christ. God is the tree and the fruit is the tree made accessible for Man by the form of fruit. We eat it like Christ's flesh and blood , and get God in us to manifest Him through us into the physical. Jesus is like the fruit of life hanging on the tree of the cross.

Also the fruit of life is seen in Revelation 5 as the sealed book in the hand of God. And the high priest, Jesus, entered the holiest of heaven and plucked the book like fruit from the hand of God like he was a tree and gave it to John to eat in Revelation 10. It's eternal life. The word. Same as Christ being the word and New Adam.

ya, me likey. So, A&E had access to this tree in the GoE, knew the difference in good v evil--which is not the knowledge of good and evil--and freely chose to elevate "self" over obeying God.

Yeah. Great way of saying it. I think so.
