Why isn't the tree of life in the garden anymore? The reason it was hidden was to prevent anyone from gaining access to it while living in a sinful, fallen state. Since there is no death in the garden, I would assume the tree is thriving. I think the garden is still there and we just can't see it. Do you know of any Biblical reason why it isn't still there and thriving?
there is no longer a single tree of life. I believe after the fall, God removed the tree of life. As it was not necessary because death reigned at that point. God will replant trees of life in revelation it says a river flows out of the throne and trees of live will line the river, and people can pick fruit as they will bear fruit I think regularly. It's not like only during harvest you get a fruit, it bears fruit all year.
oh thats fine, I am putting this on several sites, so between all of them, some interest should partner with me. God provides and is faithful. Like I said, I don't trust people. This would be for charity, not to make some CEO rich. And I don't trust skeptics, I don't even trust christian believers with money, so why would I trust skeptics? Anyway, that my two cents. God will have to bring those people who are broken and humble enough to deal with success, I don't even trust that I am able to do that. So it really is who you surround yourself with, is that that thing alone that makes you successful. The Bible says in timothy that there are some who say "goliness is a means of gain." And to "remove yourself from those people." If someone has the gold bug, then I don't need that. I need people who want to be used by God. Watch the Lord of the rings, watch how people reacted when they got near the ring of power. Tolkien was a christian, he said that for a reason. Money and power can ruin people. so it is all about your team. If you have a bunch of Judas's who will betray you, then it's all for nothing. You may succeed in finding a place and making money, but at that point you have shipwrecked yours and others salvations.You will have zero partners then.
Right, so maybe Israel was snuggled up near where the Tigris and Euphrates now are or some such. That means we would not look to follow the courses of the rivers there now to try and find where they used to go.
if the mod's don't think it fits here they can move it. I didn't see another forum that was even remotely suitable. Good post.
Just curious what this has to do with Christian prepping
Most people are stuck by the fact the modern euphrates is named by the same name as the Biblical euphrates, but they forget after the flood, all that runoff would have made completely new rivers.
Could be. But we can also look at rapid continental separation, that saw Israel moved down to where it is now from up there. In that case, the remnants of the rivers are a very partial bit of info in telling us what it used to be like. We do know the plates exist. We do know the movement happened. The only question is when.
I looked, I didn't see a christian only section on history or archaeology. I think that is in the debate section that allows atheists.Not trying to be ugly.
You might get a more fruitful response from another forum. Archeology or History maybe? Interesting topic.
Just trying to help.

well we don't know exactly, I believe in a pangea theory myself, but I sort of believe this because of the secular teaching on it. See the current theory is that the continents fit in a jig zaw puzzle all nicely together. That works when our water level is at he current level. But our continents don't necessarily look the same when the water level is gone or increased. So that theory does not work. Besides I believe to some point that mountains were created during the flood due to techtonic shifts. Becuase the current rebuttal to noahs flood is that there is not enough cubic feet of water to cover the highest mountains in the world. So creation scientists have theorized that it is possible a rearranging of the plates happened and it's not to illogical to assume some plates collided causing mountains. So anyway, that is my view.
I don't know about that. I don't know much about him but I enjoyed his archaological video's and my faith was encouraged. So ultimately I think that is what matters, not if we dont' agree with their business practice or peripherals.
