I think the image is showing the Tree of Life overcoming the tree of knowledge.

It's not possible for us to sin around God because the definition of sin is separation from God.

We will be using the Tree of Life as a perception in Heaven ..sinful thoughts aren't going to cross your mind.

Spirit is your perception of reality. You either see things God's way ..or the beast's way.

You have to want to give up this fallen reality of death.

You have to want the compatible perception for God to give you eternal life of peace.

We were told all along this was a choice between LIFE or death.

It isn't meant to make your physical life better so stop expecting anything until the afterlife.

Fallen angels didn't get this same opportunity because they were directly aware of God, so be grateful.

Man always ends up falling, so this place was a necessary step. God is letting you decide to take on the Tree of Life. God is finding souls that can live without sin. This is why God doesn't give direct proof. Your free will to believe or not has to remain.

“To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it” (Revelation 2:17).​


I think we get a new name because we will fully use the Tree of Life for our perception. Opening the door to Christ causes you to be a new person if you drop your pride and give up the beast system.

Their eyes were opened to satan's perception of good and evil, but closed to God so they could think of themselves as gods.

We are never told what the good and evil actually represent. It doesn’t make any sense for satan to be associated with "good". It means his good is not the same good of God. Worthless "good" intentions because God is not involved.

The road to hell is paved in "good" intentions.

nature, nationalism, money, and pride have worthless "good" intentions from the tree of knowledge.

The tree of knowledge gets burned up so it's best to stop using it now before it is too late.

God is going to LIGHT the tree of knowledge with the Tree of Life so only those that are already using LIFE can be saved.

Your perception needs to be using the fruits of the Tree of Life.

Revelation 21:23
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Revelation 22:5
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

Revelation 22:3-4
And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him:
And they shall see His Face; and His name shall be in their foreheads.​

No more curse because the tree of knowledge will be lit up. We will see His Face because we will be directly connected to Him.

This fallen reality (beast system/tree of knowledge) is proof of itself because we can choose our individual way(good/bad) of life. That "good" from the tree of knowledge is fallen good. It is worthless without God involved. It means the Garden of Eden happened.

Adam and Eve were offered the perception of the Tree of Life ..or tree of knowledge
If they had chosen the Tree of Life they would have lived with free will without desiring sin.
We are given the choice to join the Tree of Life perception to escape death.

Remember...

Both Trees received nourishment from the same Earth. I.e... The same 'Mother'.

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is all the religions around the worlds doctrine including the holy bible, the tree of Life is was and always will be Jesus Christ teachings in the New Testament that is why he said I am the way the truth and the life and that his words are eternal.

The tree of knowledge is the beast perception. God told us we would die if we used it. God's Righteous Perception views this fallen reality as death. God gave us a way to fix death (that we chose) via Blood that fixes our perception.

God shouldn't be vilified anymore.

Some of the images I see on this thread concern me. They look like New Age mysticism images to me. I was also concerned that someone is equating the Bible as part of that mystical knowledge that is overruled by faith in Christ.

The Scripture says that the just shall live by faith, not by mystical knowledge. Faith consists in believing what God has said in the Bible is true and that true knowledge that comes by the Holy Spirit comes by as the Ephesians Scripture tells us: "Be not unwise, but understanding what the will of God is." In other words, if we want to know the will of God, read the Bible, and if we want to do the will of God, do the Bible.

Interestingly Adam and Eve were allowed to eat from the tree of life and live forever but instead choose to eat from the tree he said would cause dead a lot like many who seem to worship other prophets way of life in the bible instead of the narrow road in Jesus Christ

Yes, we can choose life through Christ, who is the Tree of Life for us.

Perception(tree) of Life (Righteousness)
or Perception(tree) of death (corruption)

"Perception", "Tree", "Spirit" are related.

Blood is connected to The Cross which is connected to the Tree of Life (Righteous Perception of God's Spirit). Perception of Life instead of death.

"Righteous" is viewing reality the way God wants us to so that we can live forever.

satan taught/swept the perception of death with his tail to angels to get them to fall.

Among all the trees in the Garden of Eden, God identified two special trees: of life, and of the knowledge of good and evil.


“And out of the ground the LORD God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” (Genesis 2:9)

God allowed Adam to eat from all the trees except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, warning him that death would result.

The tree of knowledge was to lead man to the knowledge of good and evil; and, according to the divine intention, this was to be attained through his not eating of its fruit.

Righteous free will perception doesn't have death(sin) desires. Ask anyone that is saved ..they are not a zombie, free will is still a thing after opening the door to Christ.

Even satan has a free will.

2 Timothy 2:26

And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.​

satan turned the tree of knowledge into his free will perception. he turned wisdom into death.

Adam and Eve decided to join/(be captive) of his will.

They got a fallen free will because of it.

We need to overcome it with a Righteous Free Will.

Adam and Eve denied the Will of God and chose satan's will.

Christ is The Way to the Tree of Life which is the Righteous Perception of God's Spirit. This is how you avoid death(sin) and gain a peaceful eternity.

God giving His only Son to save us tells us how important free will is.

Otherwise, God would have just fixed the situation in a much simpler fashion.

Revelation 12:9
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

satan deceived the whole world with the beast system perception (fallen free will) ..money, pride, vanity, and lust.
