    Eat Freely, But... Series

    Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on May 27, 2020
     | 2,012 views

    We seem to fixate on what we can NOT do and skip right over God's blessings on us with the things we CAN do. In Gen 2:16, God 'commanded" the man that he could eat of every tree in the garden... telling him how to live there.

    "Thou mayest freely eat, but… " This one rule God passed along to Adam ends up being the demise of the entire human race… so far. God made all the earth… all the plants… all the animals… even all the atmosphere… “and saw that it was good”. That fateful Tree of the Knowledge of Good and ...read more

Well, the word spew is pretty close to the context of this writing, but spue is actually the word Jesus used to describe just how aggressively He will reject you! Wait… Jesus rejects ...read more
