The tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil are not part of “an ancient story” which has nothing to do with us today. Rather, all the way from Genesis to Revelation we can see these two trees developing in two lines – the line of life and the line of […]
Are You on the Line of Death or on the Line of Life? Are You Eating the Tree of Life?
God’s Main Concern is with our Eating and not with our Working, Doing, or Behavior
After God created man and planted the garden of Eden where He put man, the only thing Genesis tells us concerning God’s intention for man was that man would take care of his eating (see Gen. 2:17). God did not tell man to behave this way or that way, neither did He give commandments to […]
