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.

Freedom From Atheism Foundation
by Seraphim23 inin the interests of being fair, i feel i have to point out this facebook page.
after one minute of reading, i located at least one lie regarding the tyt or young turks presenter cenk.
they said he was an atheist so i pointed out that this is not correct as he self identifies as an agnostic.

I lurked for a year or two before I joined (and still don't login most days even now I've joined)
Love this place - there was a good long period of time when reading posts on this site was the only thing that convinced me I wasn't mental. Or at least, if I was, I wasn't alone in being so.

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)

"Makes sense to me."
What does? That it can have a will without a mind - or that it can't have a will without a mind? (Don't you need a want/desire to "will" something? ["Will" as seperated from a simple purpose - my ashtray has a purpose])
"We at least have an image so that we can understand and know God."
Since this was in answer to my question about death having a "will", I'm not sure what you mean? (An image of what, and how does this help us know god?
"Ah... Gmork. Thank you. I remember watching it as a kid and struggling to wrap my head around this 'great nothing' also."
Taking this comment with what you then went on to say about death being more worrying than the Devil: I find that curious. When I believed (take into account here Jdub theology and the whole "god's sovereignity" thing), I never understood the whole argument about heaven vs paradise earth... What does it matter? It matters that we prove god right, even if we get no reward at all. (At least that's how I thought. My point being that I cared little about death at all ["The Great Nothing" seemed fairly peacefull a prospect in the end and no more destructive in achieving its goals than god])
"had someone else not mentioned what she had received on the matter of death."
To pick up on zound's point here - Is it possible perhaps that someone (you/her/both of you) is simply mistaking the bible's fondness for "poetic" language and taking this too literally? Just a thought. After all, I'm not a believer and claim no insight.
Ta for the answers btw.
Pizza.

Can someone/thing have "will" without a "mind"? I don't think so (I don't expect you to answer that btw, you said you don't know... I'm just thinking while I type).
"You two ever see the movie, the Neverending story? Remember the great Nothing (I think that is what it was called) and its agent, that wolf thing."
See it? I lived it, I saw the damn thing so many times I still dream about gmork (wolf dude) from time to time.
But if what you're saying is true - shouldn't we be worried about Death rather than Satan? If Death is the Devil's bossman and he has his own purpose? Sounds like the Devil is just Robin to Death's Batman.
"and as always, look to Christ for the Truth. Not me"
Tyvm, but no. You have a better response rate when it comes to answering.
