[QUOTE="theyre here, post: 183551, member: 2808"] I've discussed this point in other forums and am curious about the opinions here. If we examine the fable of Eden, we discover an interesting observation. God seems to have lied, and the serpent seems to have told the truth. God told Adam and Eve: (Genesis 3:3) But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, [B]lest ye die[/B] . And the serpent responded: (Genesis 3:4) And the serpent said unto the woman, [B]Ye shall not surely die[/B] . Well, as the story goes, we know they both ate the fruit, and did not die. Following along... Next, who is God talking to in the following: (Genesis 3:22) And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of [B]us[/B] , to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, [B]and live for ever[/B] ? Who is he addressing as us? Also, was the "tree of life" another alternate (but forbidden to humans) means of eternal life in heaven? Opinions? [/QUOTE]
