The Garden of Eden

-Removed-

then don’t, its plain to see that you have not provided a single scriptural reference for any claims you have made and you cannot tell us why the garden of Eden was literal but the trees in it were not. Nothing more for me to say, logic and reason have triumphed. All you have succeeded in doing is making yourself look stupid. Adios.

I am uninterested in your rational, i am interested in the Biblical scriptures you used to provide a Biblical perspective, after all, i am a christian, not a disciple of yours. Either you have a scriptural basis or you don’t.

I couldn’t find a single one and seeing that you will not say what they are or you will not tell us how the garden of Eden was literal but the trees in it were not, its clear you are uninterested in the matter, i will give my attention therefore to something vastly more interesting.

So, the tree is literal and means what "tree" ordinarily means, the garden it stood in is literal and means what "garden" ordinarily means, the death is literal and means what "death" ordinarily means, but the 'day' of dying you interpret to mean "started to die" and is stretched out over decades or even centuries (OT patriarchs are often reported to have lived to such advanced ages)--which is not what "dying" ordinarily (literally) means. You're cherry picking.

I gave the meaning of the term, 'you will certainly die', from the Hebrew, you may make a reference to that because it demonstrates that the process of death was one of continuation, not instant. Cherry picking is once again an unfounded assertion and merely an opinion.

I have stated that there was a literal tree, i have said nothing about what it symbolized, for it could both be a literal and tree and symbolic of something at the same time, like the tree of knowledge of good and bad, a literal tree but also a symbol of Gods sovereignty.
