The tree of life
aqrinc:
Hi Roy,
Thanks for asking the questions, it makes for very good study material.
Marques and G.Driggs,
Nice pick me up on those Scriptures and explanations.
meee and Geoff,
Those links you both inserted made me do a double take, and i have read them several times before, now i will do it all again.
Mark,
you are right, tons of goodies, my feasting never seems to end.
Kat,
Thanks for the untold hours and effort you put into transcribing or posting so much material from teacher Ray.
Last and Most,
A big shout out to Ray for being Faithful and True to carry out the mission GOD Has sent him to do.
Is there any doubt that we need to be humbled?; no doubt at all from me.
Php 4: 3-9 (MKJV)
3 And I also beg you, true yoke-fellow, help those women who labored in the gospel with me and with Clement, and others of my fellow-laborers, whose names are in the Book of Life.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, Rejoice!
5 Let your moderation be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
7 And the peace of God which passes all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, my brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are right, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think on these things.
9 Do those things which you have also learned and received and heard and seen in me. And the God of peace shall be with you.

So is the tree being guarded from mankind? Adam and Eve were removed so as not to put forth their hand to the tree of life lest they live forever.
I can understand that Jesus is a tree of life, but why would God want to keep them from this tree if it was Jesus? I know there is a parable here, but this question just came to me today and might take me a few days or longer to understand all of it.

I was reading this and the word parable and then spiritual kept going across my mind.
The two trees in the garden - one tree is death (carnal) and the other is life (spiritual)
First the physical then the spiritual.
1 Corinthians 15:46 (NKJV)
46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.
We have to experience 2nd death before we get to experience spiritual life. God of course knew what Eve would do and set her up. He made man weak so we would make that first step into becoming children of God. I was thinking the tree of life is Jesus which is Spirit then Adam and Eve could not perceive or see it. They had no knowledge of good or evil. After they sinned though they were aware of their nakedness... were they also aware of the tree of life as in perceiving or seeing because now they had knowledge of good and evil? Then it had to be guarded by the flaming sword.
Romans 6:3-4
3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Hebrews 9:27
27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,
1 John 5:12
12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. (death)
In His Joy,
Bunni
Roy Martin:
