A Real Fountain of Youth

Here’s a thought…


I read the first 4 chapters of Genesis today and a couple of things struck me.

1. God didn’t kick Adam and Eve out because of their sin (he made them clothes and put it on them). This wasn’t the reason because if it was, wouldn’t he have just sent them out of the garden as soon as he found out? I think so.


2. God kicked Adam and Eve out because he didn’t want them to be able to eat from the Tree of Life. Now if we take this literal (which most of us take ALMOST all of the Bible literal, as in that it actually happened) that means that there was a real tree that gave the consumer eternal life. Can we believe that such a thing truly existed? Could it still be on earth being protected by an angel? Just a thought…
