Whether a real tree exists, or not, I don't know. I know it did in Genesis. But it's not a MUST thing. But I do know the bible likens people to trees everywhere.
Mar 8:24 KJV And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
And look at this:
Psa 1:3 KJV And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
We are like trees and OUR LEAVES and OUR FRUIT... are mentioned.
The leaves heal. Gifts of the Spirit.
The fruit gives life. Fruit of the Spirit.
Fruit of the Spirit and gifts of the Spirit.
Isa 61:3 KJV To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called
trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
That is how we deal with things. The bible's pictures are ONLY what we can use for interpreting things.
