The "Tree of Life and its meaning" (page 16)

I'm curious... If the tree of life is supposed to be Christ, how would Adam and Eve have eaten him? (Gen 3 v 22)

There will be a short dealy while Tammy checks with Shelby ....

The answer will involve strange use of upPEr casE leTTeRS and be something about going to JEEbuS FOR life and how you should go and ask him yourself if you have EArS to HeaR.

Simon, we need a "eating popcorn" emoticon here....

Lucid... not eat HIM (the tree of life)... but eat FROM Him.

But to answer your questions... the same as WE are to eat from Christ... who is the Life.

And none of my posts look like that Cofty (and jgnat who also did the same thing a day or two ago). There is no random capitalization of letters mid word... but rather capitalization for emphasis ON that word. Like that.

You still haven't proven your 'cult' accusation though.

Peace,

K, how would they have eaten "from" him then?

I don't need to, just take my word for it. I'm an expert on cults.

By eating... taking into themselves/receiving from Him... his fruit, teachings, holy spirit (the water of life). Same as us.

Only we are also given the command to partake of Him in the body and blood (communion/partaking of emblems/whatever you wish to call it).

Peace,

I don't really take people's word for things they claim to be true Cofty... nor expect or even want them to take mine for such things.

Regardless of what experts they might call themselves.

Since I have researched cults and the bite model... and see nothing in those that would label my faith (or forum) as a cult... I'll have to disagree. I'll even go through it with you later, after I get my boys from school and deal with dinner, etc.

Peace,

Thank god for time zones.

How could they "take in" his teachings in Eden? (What with him not having taught anyone anything yet.)

Am I missing something here? (And if the tree is Christ - why would god want to stop them having his[christ's] "fruit"? If the tree of life is christ and the fruit is his teachings... wouldn't that mean both trees were trees of knowledge and god has information control issues?)

I'm confused.
