I have done some study in the bible, but I know there is much that is not being revealed to me, either because I do not dig deep enough or I am to distant from God. I pray it is NOT the later.
When the Bible speaks of "Do not eat of the tree in the center of the garden", is this a literal tree?
If this is so and the human heart could not resist a simple piece of fruit it is no wonder that only God, Himself had to save us from ourselves.Were we being prepared for a much larger test of our obedience and faith some 2000 years later. If this is not a correct interpretaion, than what is the tree that is being referred to?
