When I talk about worship I understand I can show it to you clearly in Quran. Can you show me exactly where I can find that meaning of worship directly in the Bible.
If this is the meaning of worship, so why GOD was not happy when the couple eat from the tree if that was worship.
The other question is how do you worship your GOD now.
Your questions are good ones. But they take me away from my challenge a little.
We have a number of people who have accused the authorship of the Bible to be some rather dim witted types - not too intelligent. Notice not one of these critics have presented a competing book to the Bible in its economical explanation of crucial aspects of human existence.
Briefly to your point, Adam never took the tree of life in as food. He took of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in as food. That was the other tree. And that was the forbidden fruit.
That tree of the knowledge of good and evil caused man to be Satanified. Man was infested with the evil spirit of Satan. He was fallen into corruption.
After he was fallen into the Satanification and infestation of the evil spirit God put a guard around the tree of life so man could no longer partake of receiving the divine life of God:
"And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; now lest he put forth his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever -
Therefore Jehovah God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to work the ground from which he was taken.
So He drove the man outm and at the east of the garden of Eden He placed a cherubim and a flaming sword which turned in every direction to guard the way to the tree of life" (Gen. 3:22-24)
God had a threefold demand upon man which now made the divine life signified by the tree of life excluded from man's enjoyment.
1.) The Cherubim represent the glory of God. Man has fallen short of the glory of God.
2.) The sword represents the righteousness of God. In being Satanified and poisoned by the sin nature man has fallen short of the righteousness of God.
3.) The flame of the flaming sword represents the holiness of God. Man has fallen short of the holy nature of God - that which sets God apart from all other created things in the universe. He is holy.
Man has fallen from his neutral position into a postion where there is now the demand of glory, the demand of righteousness, and the demand of holiness upon man before he can come back to the eternal purpose of God.
I will talk more about worship in another post. The medium here is a limitation.
