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

    Exactly. Personally that's why I go to the Spirit as my source of Truth not the bible. This has been my practice for years now. The Spirit of Christ occasionally brings a word of God found in the pages of the bible. I don't seek a book as I did for decades. I seek a Person, the Holy Spirit.

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

    We aren't told all the things God told Adam and Eve. All their daily conversations in the cool of the day are not available in the bible. Do you think God was aware of the conversations Adam and Eve had with eachother and with the serpent? Could God have known Satan's intent? If He did, could...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    Thanks. Yes, the breathed out words of God the Father, as Jesus mentioned to Satan, are available to us by the same means hey, His Spirit. I'm so glad we have Him in us revealing and teaching us. So what version of the bible one uses or not is of little consequence when we have the Spirit of...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    As do we hey. My focus is on the Divine Person Who these mere men and women possessed. He is the One Who received from Father and expressed these divine truths in such a way that certain humans ( prophets) could comprehend them. Some of these truths were written down and passed on while others...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    Yes, it could be quite simple. Those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. And by the fruit they bear one can determine whose children they are. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

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

    Yes, and yet again the eternal never ending story of the Creator unfolds. His script just playing out exactly as He envisioned. What was going on here? What has played out since then gives us mere humans a bit of an insight as to why God orchestrated this strange situation. He designed and...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    He commanded the same people, different generation not to kill. The Hebrew word kill - raw-tsakh' A primitive root; properly to dash in pieces, that is, kill (a human being), especially to murder: - put to death, kill, (man-) slay (-er), murder (-er). BTW what's the 'generic' kill or murder...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    After telling the Isrealites one thing, 40 years later He told them to do the opposite. Like many Christians including myself, I would remain faithful to what God said, as recorded in the bible. God said to Joshua, "go do to Ai as you did to Jericho". To Jericho they utterly destroyed all that...

    Why hell must exist

    Oh OK. When you say THE WORD you are refering to the Person Jesus Christ. John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. I thought you may've been refering to it as...

    Why hell must exist

    Yes, this is the responsibility of the Creator to ensure accurate understanding of truth if and when necessary for Their benefit. Otherwise various interpretation of anything brings confusion. Maybe like when He caused confusion when He introduced various languages to the global human community.

    You've emphasised 'THE WORD'. How do YOU interpret this phrase?

    Why hell must exist

    What a master manipulater our Creator is. I'm so glad He exercises this Divine ability. Yes the Potter who imagines an object, designs it, then creates it for whatever use He desires.

    Why hell must exist

    AJ when did God tell you this? You can't use God's expressed thoughts in the bibles. This lie is not there. Did God really say.....I don't use dreams and visions to instruct my people anymore...it would be too confusing. Did God tell you directly in a vision or a dream? Or like many other...
