Today is Easter, we hope you will have a good day, and think about the resurrection. Jesus went through a terrible amount of abuse, and was crucified on a cross for all mankind. He was buried in a tomb, and on the third day, he came back to life. Jesus went through all that abuse and pain as a final sacrifice for you and me, we should ask for forgiveness and believe in him.
Topic change; if you read yesterday’s post, you now understand my thoughts on evolution and on God creating man in his own image.
If you did not read yesterday’s post, you should stop reading this post, and go read yesterday’s post, then come back to this post.
For that one person who has read about Adam and Eve, I would like to propose a thought about, “The Garden of Eden”. As I see it, The Garden of Eden was a secured area with everything needed for a safe and happy life. There were all types of vegetation, there were fruit trees and streams of water, man was put there to cultivate and keep the garden. In the garden there was also a tree of, “the knowledge of good and evil”, and Adam was told, “you shall not eat of it, for in the day you eat from it you will surely die”.
Now we have a good mental picture of the garden, and as I understand it, man could not get out, and almost nothing on the outside could get in. I assume the security was to protect man from any beast or beings who were in the process of evolution.
The Serpent was evil, he was able to get into the garden where he talked Eve into eating from the tree of knowledge. I assume the Serpent was allowed in, to see if the humans would accept temptation or not. We know what happened then, they were put out of the garden because they now knew right from wrong. If they would have been allowed to stay in the garden, they could have eaten from the tree of life and lived for ever. Question; could one eat from the tree of life one time and live forever, or would one need to eat from the tree of life on some regular basis, to live forever?
I wonder what would have happened if they would not have accepted the temptation of the serpent. Would they still be there, or would they have been allowed to eat from the tree of life, live forever, and also populate the earth?
Subject change; I have a photo that I will share with you of some green, soon to be black berries.
Yes, I will soon need to be checking the berry beds daily.
I guess that is enough commentary for today, we hope you have a good day, filled with love and many blessings.
Garden of Eden!
