Kes,
Adam and Eve were created and given the freedom to eat from EVERY tree that is desireable to satisfaction except from the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.
Out of all the things that you said in your post, what I've quoted above is the ONLY thing that you said that I can actually agree with.
Isn't that strange?
.
so, both trees were in the middle of the garden! and how were they marked to be distinguished, and
If you had to eat of the tree of life to live to 'time indefinite' does that not mean at their creation Adam & Eve particularly EVE was worthy of the asessment VERY GOOD? even though they could not live forever, as created?
bla, bla bla bluh, here is how this bekated post come about:
when talking to an awakening jw, there was brought up the surprising question:
how about the tree in the MIDDLE of the garden, the central focus.
In Gen 2;9 the tree in the middle is the tree of life,
In Gen 3:3 the tree in the middle is The FORBIDDEN, deadly tree of knowledge.
what muddles the clear understanding is, that the WT writer's idea that the tree of life was somehow hidden, and ONLY AFTER they passed the abstinence test would Jehovah LEAD them to it to eat them to it and allow them to get life's guarantees.
the answer given in this good old thread is that the two trees both must have been in the middle, not HIDDEN as taught by wt, erroneously [again]
Caevat, when you hear a talking snake, you can believe there is any credence to the story in the first place, but this is better than a crossword puzzle.
