Where is the Garden of Eden?

Question

well if you are LDS its....are you ready?

Missouri!

The Garden of Eden was in Missouri. All humanity before the Great Flood lived in the western hemisphere. The Ark transported Noah and the other survivors to the eastern hemisphere.

So knowing this....why isnt the LDS headquarters in Missouri as opposed to Salt Lake?

Answer 1

Missouri!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahahahahaha

Answer 2

The only thing the Bible tells us concerning the Garden of Eden’s location is found in Genesis 2:10-14, “A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold…The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.” The exact identities of the Pishon and Havilah rivers is unknown, but the Tigris and Euphrates rivers are well known. If the Tigris and Euphrates mentioned there are the same rivers by those names today, that would put the Garden of Eden somewhere in the middle east, likely in Iraq. People have searched for the Garden of Eden for centuries to no avail. There are various locations that people claim to be the original location of the Garden of Eden, but we cannot be sure. What happened to the Garden of Eden? The Bible does not specifically say. It is likely that the Garden of Eden was completely destroyed in the Flood.

Answer 3

Location of Eden. The original site of the garden of Eden is conjectural. The principal means of identifying its geographic location is the Bible’s description of the river “issuing out of Eden,” which thereafter divided into four “heads,” producing the rivers named as the Euphrates, Hiddekel, Pishon, and Gihon. (Ge 2:10-14) The Euphrates (Heb., Perath´) is well known, and “Hiddekel” is the name used for the Tigris in ancient inscriptions. (Compare also Da 10:4.) The other two rivers, the Pishon and the Gihon, however, are unidentified.

Some, such as Calvin and Delitzsch, have argued in favor of Eden’s situation somewhere near the head of the Persian Gulf in Lower Mesopotamia, approximately at the place where the Tigris and the Euphrates draw near together. They associated the Pishon and Gihon with canals between these streams. However, this would make these rivers tributaries, rather than branches dividing off from an original source. The Hebrew text points, rather, to a location in the mountainous region N of the Mesopotamian plains, the area where the Euphrates and Tigris rivers have their present sources.

The fact that the Euphrates and Tigris rivers do not now proceed from a single source, as well as the impossibility of definitely determining the identification of the Pishon and Gihon rivers, is possibly explained by the effects of the Noachian Flood, which undoubtedly altered considerably the topographical features of the earth, filling in the courses of some rivers and creating others.
The traditional location for the garden of Eden has long been suggested to have been a mountainous area some 225 km (140 mi) SW of Mount Ararat and a few kilometers S of Lake Van, in the eastern part of modern Turkey.

That Eden may have been surrounded by some natural barrier, such as mountains, could be suggested by the fact that cherubs are stated to have been stationed only at the E of the garden, from which point Adam and Eve made their exit.—Ge 3:24.
After Adam’s banishment from the paradisaic garden, with no one to “cultivate it and to take care of it,” it may be assumed that it merely grew up in natural profusion with only the animals to inhabit its confines until it was obliterated by the surging waters of the Flood, its location lost to man except for the divine record of its existence.—Ge 2:15.

Answer 4

It was in Missouri. Many things have changed since then, especially during the flood. Remember learning about Pangea? Anyway, the LDS HQ was in missouri until Gov. Boggs declared it legal to kill Mormons in the state in the 1830's. Then they moved to Illinois. They were driven out of there and that's when they headed toward Utah. After the Second Coming of Christ, the HQ will be shared between Missouri and Jerusalem

Answer 5

Mormons are realist when it come to money. have you seen the LDS infrastructure in Salt Lake City? I know they would never abandon it but to rebuild just the church office building in Jackson County would cost hundred of millions. The Mormons do believe that before the end comes they will be asked to move back to Missouri. I kind of wish they would hurry up and go.. Just kidding.. Mormon are a wonderful people. They have been deceived into thinking that their doctrines (Non-Christian as they made be) are the truth and that everyone else is living a lie..

Answer 6

According to the Bible, one should expect to find it in Iraq.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Tigris,+Iraq&ie=UTF8&t=k&om=1&ll=30.325471,48.587036&spn=1.073936,1.873169

On the map, look for the spot where the two rivers join in the center. That's where the Bible says the Garden of Eden is.

" The name of the second river is the Gihon; it is the one that winds all through the land of Cush. The name of the third river is the Tigris; it is the one that flows east of Asshur. The fourth river is the Euphrates." (Genesis 2:13-14)

Two of those rivers still exist - the Tigris and Euphrates, and they have not been more than slightly re-routed over time, because the biblical descriptions of where they run are fairly consistent with where they go today, and the watersheds also pretty much dictate that. So their confluence puts Eden near where the marsh Arabs of Iraq live.

Saddam drained the garden of Eden, then we bombed it.

Answer 7

Really no one knows. The flood rearranged the landscape a little. The Bible says it was between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, but that does not mean that the Tigris and Euphrates we see today are the same ones-most probably not. We must not forget the flood-the whole earth was changed drastically. Missouri???No one knows, no reason I am aware of why it should be.

Answer 8

Actually the great flood changed the topography of the earth so much, that no one will every know where the Garden of Eden was. Of course it really has no significance to our worship of God anyway.

Answer 9

Eden, is supposively located in the Sahara, yes i know that it is a desert, but what is there and we can not see, it doesnt mean that it isnt there. It exists on a seperate plane.
