Re: Union with the LIfe of God
We use a detergent capable of removing the most stubborn of stains? If no stain in the form of sin then no barrier to the tree of life - just like there was no barrier preventing Adam from partaking. The difference is that instead of being told not to, we are told we area allowed to.

Re: Union with the LIfe of God
If you read allowed the Bible with a prayerful spirit in the morning,
​
If I'm ever cast away on a desert island I only hope all 66 books will be washed up with me... Couldn't imagine life without it.
​
And Christ is effortlessly expressed without strife or strain, actually even without religion.
​
It is interesting to see the contrast between Adam choosing not to keep his hands from that which is forbidden and us choosing not to eat of that which we are encouraged to.

Re: Whenever the heart turns to the Lord
This person understands.
​
So does this one - though I enjoy your exposition of it more than I would having to attempt exposit it myself! It makes the size of God all the more mind-boggling when you see how it all....fits. No accidents, no loose ends. Seamless
​
And this through a glass darkly...

Re: Dwelling Place for God
It must signify bringing God and man together in a living union.

Halleujah...anything else makes no sense to me. But awestruck dumb I remain at the prospect.

Hi Jaywell,
​
I agree that the way of contrast appears to be a common theme within the bible as far as I gotten with it. And is a useful way of examining things. Man in the garden fell due to the Tokge. Contrast would seem to suggest that mans final position, if in Christ and not Adam will be 'better' than the position Adam has before he fell. Glorified persons that they will be. Maybe thats what the TOL enables. Thus man neutral to start with and with two final options open to him.
​
Its time for me to leave EvC so as to enable time to go deeper with my Lord. I've enjoyed your posts and wish you God speed in your efforts here.
​
Ian
