” And the Lord God said, Behold, the man made in my image is become as one of us, to know good and evil, and now, lest he put forth his hand and take forth of the Tree of Life, and eat, and live forever.” Comment: So what is this all about? In the following verses Adam and Eve are kicked out of the Garden of Eden and the angels protect the Tree of Life where they cannot approach this tree! Man sinned against God to gain the knowledge of evil! He did evil to gain evil! The penalty of sin is death! Adam and Eve had not received the penalty yet so God had to guard the Tree of Life until Christ had paid the penalty of their sin on the Cross! Eternal life is a destiny spent in one of two places! Heaven or Hell! God had to protect Adam and Eve from themselves! No repentance is accepted by God outside of the Cross! The Anti-Christ and his followers will never confess they are sinners! Muslims do not believe they are sinners! A Hindu makes God into his own image and changes the image millions of times in his mind to accommodate his new sin! They make God! Remember after the Cross where did Jesus go for three days? He went into the heart of the earth and preached to the captives! This included all people from Adam and Eve to all who had lived up unto the Cross and included the Thief of the Cross! Now after the Cross Adam and Eve could partake of the Tree of Life! After the Cross the Tree of Life is open to all! To avoid the Tree of Life and try to live on the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is sin against God! The knowledge of evil that you have was acquired through sin! The goodness of God is acquired through Jesus Christ and the sacrifice of death for your sin! God makes you right with him but you can never no matter how hard you try make yourself right with God! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
