What do you think the Garden for Adam and Eve would have looked like (assume it a litteral here)?
Could our intended state according to Christianity be one of ignorant bliss? After all Adam and Eve could run around naked and not even think about it, they had no knowledge of good and evil and they had never sinned. This sounds like my 3 year old daughter.
Could this be the type of state Jesus means when he teaches we must be like little children if we are to inherit heaven?
Last one - Do you think that this is what heaven might be like?

The Garden
Post #1It is a first class human tragedy that people of the earth who claim to believe in the message of Jesus, whom they describe as the Prince of Peace, show little of that belief in actual practice.

No. It was God showing us the way.OnceConvinced wrote:Absolutely. God is all-knowing, he knows everything that is to happen, therefore he knew that Eve would eat from the tree before he planted it there. You might say it was a case of divine entrapment.Greatest I Am wrote: It was no doubt beautiful there with the tree of life but God always meant for man to seek knowledge and wisdom, thus the tree of good and evil. Not really a tree, right, just the idea of good and evil thoughts and actions, right.
What is life without knowledge of good and evil. No life at all. No thoughts at all.
Can you think of anything that does not have a good and evil aspect? I can't.
Would a God need to resort to entrapment. No.

Glimpes into Heaven
Post #52As far as Heaven, we have white robes. We are not naked. Well? Not quite Naked. There is a scripture which is questionable?.
Ever see any White Robes in a Hospital?
Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
The Shame of WHAT NAKEDNESS? Is something showing?
A very nice way of dealing with the PRIDE of mankind. The White Raiment is not dealing with the Nakedness, But the SHAME of the nakedness. The White Raiment might even be an attitude adjustment. Not being ashamed of how God made us.
No Giggling allowed in Heaven.

Since you are an atheist, of what possible purpose and reason do you even want to be a part of discussing things relative to the garden of "Eden"?
Why is the creation scenario and the Garden of Eden even of any interest to you?
Tell me more about your reasons for having any interest in this issue whatever.
