It is good to know @gavvet is into bible study as well, another reason to pay even closer attention. Religion and politics are two topics most people prefer to stay away from discussing on social media because of the vast difference in beliefs and opinions can create uneasiness among some people. This is very interesting, it can take hours sharing opinions and beliefs when it comes to biblical theology etc. For example my interpretation of the story given to us about Adam and Eve and the tree of life etc. is different from others. First of all from my research and my own knowledge and believe, I don't think it was even a "tree" and eating fruit from this "special tree of life"... I like to dig deeper into stuff and try to make sense out of non-sense, while praying and seeking wisdom. It is the same idea and both interpretations convey the same message though, but the bible version is a simpler version that was more reader friendly and non graphical. Our bodies are the temple of God as the bible said, and we were created in the likeness and image of God. And he love us so much, even more than the angels in heaven that he gave us the freedom of choice and gave us (Adam and Eve) dominion over all the beasts and birds etc. Do you think our all mighty God, the creator of all things will put the sacred knowledge of good and evil in a forsaken tree of life first of all? Even if he wanted to put that knowledge somewhere, he could't think about anywhere other than in the same garden with Adam and Eve? We all know from the bible and Sunday school that the devil was in that same garden tempting eve to eat the "fruit" and gain the forbidden knowledge. So we know that the devil already was evil so he knew about evil and had evil in him but he was once good. The same devil who hated the creation of human and want to destroy humans and defile them and show the creator that they will disobey and turn to evil. I think the devil tempted Eve to defile her body (which is the temple of God), which he created in his own image and likeness. What better way to disrespect God and pass on an evil spiritual connection though the soul. Besides eating something and contaminating her body which is the temple of God, Eve could have been tempted to do sexual acts with the devil which contaminated her body, soul, and mind and open up her mind to evil. Do you think a man (Adam) would've been susceptible to eating the sacred forbidden fruit (with strict warnings from God not to eat it) with thousands of other fruits to choose from, simply because his woman (Eve) encouraged him to eat it or do you think it is more believable that his woman was sexually seducing him with new sexual moves/feelings and knowledge he never new about, which his woman had just learned about ? I don't know, this is just my opinion.
