Was Eden destroyed during the flood?

[OpenDoor]

Where is Eden located?

Probably somewhere in the middle east (I think some say by Iraqu?)

And the flood was on earth, right?

yes

Didn't Adam and Eve fall from Paradise?

Eden represents paradise (or at least a part of it), but Adam and Eve were physically out of Eden.

Where is Paradise?

Now Heaven, but it was Earth and it will be again

Is it on earth?

It was and it will be again

Or is it somewhere else or just a state?

IMO a little bit of both. For a person to be in paradise they have to be in some state of peace.

Genesis 2:10-14 mentions a river going out from Eden and parting into 4 rivers.
Perhaps that could help narrow it down?
Would make for an interesting study

Genesis 2:10 And a river/stream is going forth out from 'Eden to irrigate the garden.
And from there it is being parted and becomes to four heads.
11.The name of the one, Piyshown, he the one sorrounding all of land of the Chaviylah, which there the gold. 12 And gold of the land the that good there, and pearl and stone of the onyx

Pison = "increase"
Havilah = "circle"
1) a part of Eden through which flowed the river Pison (Araxes); was
probably the Grecian Colchis, in the northeast corner of Asia Minor,
near the Caspian Sea
2) a district in Arabia of the Ishmaelites named from the 2nd son of
Cush; probably the district of Kualan, in the northwestern part of
Yemen

13 And name of the stream, the second, Giychown, he the one sourrounding all of land of Kuwsh.

Gihon = "bursting forth"
2) a spring near Jerusalem where the anointing and proclaiming of Solomon as king took place
Cush = "black"
4) the land occupied by the descendants of Cush located around the southern parts of the Nile (Ethiopia)
{Ethiopia Heb Cush}

14 And name of the stream, the third, Chiddeqel, the one going east of 'Ashshuwr.

Hiddekel = "rapid"
Asshur or Assyria = "a step"
3) the nation, Assyria
4) the land, Assyria or Asshur

And the stream, the fourth P@rath

P@rath = "fruitfulness"

If I recall correctly, there are some Fathers who suggest that the Garden and the whole Fall incident were not really in a place or time at all, and that the Fall happened at the very instant of creation.

If true, that would suggest to me that the Garden is not a place we could get to on the present Earth at all.

Interesting
Can you provide us with some sources? Thanks

Was Eden destroyed during the flood?

The flood destroyed animals which could not swim not plants. We can see that with the branch which the bird brought to Noah.

Also do the two tress in the Garden still exist?

I am one who believes that Genesis is revelation about Jesus, Christianity and the Jews.

Eden represents righteousness. Man is created into righteousness and cannot achieve it on his own. Man is naked in the state of righteousness. He is not afraid for God to see all.

The Tree of Life is Jesus Christ. God's children are free to eat of the Tree of Life and live forever. This is faith.

The Tree of Knowledge of good and evil is the Law. Eating of the fruit of this tree brings death because man cannot justify himself through trying to obey the Law.

Revelation tells us that the Tree of Life is in new Jerusalem while the Tree of Knowledge is no where to be found.
