The Tree of Life

Post #1

Post by placebofactor »

Genesis 3:24, So the LORD God “drove out the man, and he placed at the east end of the garden of Eden Cher-u-bims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”

Here's the question: If the Garden of Eden still existed; and the Tree of Life continued to bear its fruit, and men were once again able to take from the Tree its fruit, would the fruit of the Tree have the power of conferring immortality on sinful men?

Or would those seeking eternal life by taking from the tree be deluding themselves?

The narrative seems to me to read that way.
