Tim88 means the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil which Adam was told not to eat. If he did eat of it he would die.
I do not know what tim88 means by Eve's peach.
But for a serious discussion on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, I am up for that.
And I do not think I understand everything abo ...[text shortened]... the eating of the tree cause death in man ?
Some of these questions maybe we can explore.
• The other trees were also important: they sustained daily life.
• It was the Tree of Lives, not the Tree of Life (so translated).
• The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil represented a system of thinking which was not employed at the time of the recreation, and was expressly forbidden since it would disconnect them from the Source of lives, namely, God.
That's all for now, but I'm sure we can flesh out some more if we wanted to...
