    Why was "the Tree" placed in the center of the garden (orchard)

    A Lamb that is the only one who can open the Seven-Sealed Scroll. Today's Lesson: The Protoevangelium Quote: The term Protoevangelium refers to the first announcement of the gospel, found in Genesis 3:15. This verse is often seen as the first...

    Huh? Joh 1:29 The next day John sees Jesus coming to him and says, Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 1Pe 1:17-21 And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to the work of each one, pass the time of your earthly residence in fear...

    The Elect and Predestination - the unfortunate implications

    What attracts sinners to Christ? He is positively charged, they negatively at that time.

    Too bad once God gives reprobates over to their own mind. None of us had any choice as to our physical birth and our hereditary characteristics, and my experience tells me I had no choice but to lie, cheat, steal, lust and disregard Biblical morality when my sinful nature was in the driving...

    The Elect and Predestination - the unfortunate implications

    Let's talk Electromagnetism . . . . . . and use it in an analogy. Joh 6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day. Quote: Electromagnetism is a fundamental branch of physics that...

    Yes, all are in Adam before they are in Christ, but not all are in Christ come Judgment Day, these being reprobate silver. Eph 2:1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins, (Jer 6:30) Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them. (Rom...

    Not all belong to Christ, nor are all "in Christ". (Rom 8:1) There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. (Rom 8:9) But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in...

    Matthew Henry Quote: Though he be our God in Christ, and now deals with us in a more kind and gracious way, yet he is in himself a consuming fire; that is, a God of strict justice, who will avenge himself on all the despisers of his grace, and upon all apostates. Under the gospel, the justice of...

    Why make such an obvious point, given Scripture consigns those to whom the second death applies, to the Lake of Fire?

    Next thing, the second death. (Rev 20:5) But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. (Rev 20:6) Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. The second death has no authority over these, but they will...

    Why was "the Tree" placed in the center of the garden (orchard)

    Yes, that is the point of this verse . . . (Heb 9:15) And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they that have been called may receive the promise of the eternal...

    Why was "the Tree" placed in the center of the garden (orchard)

    Any disobedience to God is analogous to the eating of fruit from the TOTKOGAE. The conflict between God and the Opposer who tempts and influences humanity to disobey God's Will is resolved in Christ through the shedding of His blood for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the...

    Why was "the Tree" placed in the center of the garden (orchard)

    Metaphorically everyone partakes of forbidden fruit in this life. Good and evil are integral to Judgment, and vice versa.

    Who makes and plants the good fruit bearing trees?

    So the Devil is the Son of man's enemy. Something bad went down between them.
