The Tree Of Knowledge And The Tree Of Life

Contributed by Tarran Dookie on Jan 6, 2025

God did not forbid Adam and Eve to eat the fruit from the tree of life in the garden. However, once they ate of the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and evil they were driven out of the garden and cherubims and a flaming sword were placed to keep the way of the tree of life. Why was this done?

THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE TREE OF LIFE (by brother Tarran Dookie) THE COMMAND AND THE CONSEQUENCES Gen 2:8-9 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the ...read more

Coulda Hada Pear: Rules, Rules, Rules Series

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on May 4, 2020

Rules, Guidelines, Boundaries… they all help convey limitations… something of a “you can go to this point (here) , but not that far (there)” premise. When God plunked Man into the Garden, there is only one rule…

Common thought today; ° Rules are meant to be broken ° Boundaries are meant to be challenged ° Guidelines are merely suggestions, recommendations, and preferred expectations Almost no one likes rules. Almost no one wants to be ‘governed’, controlled, directed, and worse… ...read more

A Man's World Series

By providing for Adam in the Garden, God showed that He is concerned about our needs and He will still meet them today.

Your Place Of Stress Or Rest

Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on May 20, 2014

Don’t You Dare!

Contributed by James Stophel on May 22, 2014

It is hard to resist a dare. Why even Eve was dared by the devil in the garden. Perhaps what is needed is the right type of dares.

Beware Of Witchcraft Manipulation.

Contributed by Adeolu Akin-Abraham on May 11, 2010

The serpent was a regular visitor to the Garden of Eden. Its presence in their estate was not unusual to Eve. It was easy for her to be manipulated because of the intimacy.

As undetected shoplifter, the pickpocket gradually drains off his victim. With steady hits, the prey becomes weak and subsequently destroyed. ...read more

The Day Of Temptation

Contributed by Darrell Jones on Mar 11, 2003

Several things the Bible records concerning the tactics satan used in the Garden of Eden. He is still at work in the same way.

Intro: I want you to know that the devil’s advice is freely given, it is misleading, it is also contrary to the commands of God, and very sadly it is often taken.

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 10, 2001

In the story of Satan in the Garden we see the beginning of Relativistic Morality and the absurdity it now has reaped upon our society

OPEN: A famous preacher once joked from the pulpit: “In English they teach us that 2 negatives make a positive statement (i.e = "there’s no way I’m not going to go"). So the way I figure it, if I know I’m lying, and God knows I’m lying – I gotta be telling the truth.” APPLY: That strikes us as ...read more
