What if someone got into the Garden of Eden and took an ax to the Tree of Life, would that be bad?

Answer 1

Where do you think the story of George Washington cutting down the cherry tree came from? It has already been done. Everybody say "Thanks, George"

Answer 2

I think it is a bad idea. Even if the garden does not exist, cutting down a tree that is called "the Tree of Life" seems bad. But I don't get the question because you are an atheist so why ask something about a myth? And the question makes no sense really because there were no people in the garden whoi had an axe and ther could not have been according to the story.

But from an environmental perspective I would like to know how many other trees are in the garden and if this Tree of Life is actually magical or is it just a tree? Is it the only one of its species? Why did this person cut it down? Are there many "trees of life" Uhhh.... what is the point of this again? It just seems like another infantile question that has nothing to do with religion or spirituality. You seem obsessed with all this and that seems odd for a person who does not belive in it.

Got anything "real" to say or are you just going to keep making childish jibes at what some people use tgo feel calm and less miserable. Even if they are wrong, why stir it up? It seems senseless unless you actually believe and are in doubt. Oh well. Maybe this is just fun for you. I waste my time here too so can't say much else.

Answer 3

God would not allow that to happen, he could strike you down once that crazy thought popped in your head. How would you get past the flaming sword?


Genesis 3:22-24

22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man has become like one of Us [the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit], to know [how to distinguish between] good and evil and blessing and calamity; and now, lest he put forth his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live [b]forever--

23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken.

24 So [God] drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the Garden of Eden the [c]cherubim and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep and guard the way to the tree of life.


The tree of life will be seen as a important part in the New Jerusalem after Christ's thousand years reign are completed.

Revelation 22:1-3

1THEN HE showed me the river whose waters give life, sparkling like crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb

2Through the middle of the broadway of the city; also, on either side of the river was the tree of life with its twelve varieties of fruit, yielding each month its fresh crop; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing and the restoration of the nations.

Answer 4

i believe your metaphor does not artwork for numerous causes. First being that the account of Genesis replaced into written a lengthy time period earlier the money owed of the Christ. Secondly the Tree of life and Jesus respectively served diverse applications. the first replaced into to bring about the autumn of guy, even as the latter replaced into to augment him back up (metaphorically for sure). to objective to respond to your question notwithstanding i'll furnish this. you've hit on some thing extremely real the following that those 2 symbols in result are the cornerstones of Christianity. without one the different is incomprehensible, there should be a fall to wish a redemption. If one or the different is taken out of the equation Christianity ceases to have meaning. is this what you're searching for for?

Answer 5

After Adam and Eve were evicted from the garden,Gen.3:24 tells us "And so he(Jehovah)drove the man(Adam)out and posted at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flaming blade of a sword that was turning itself continually to guard the way to the tree of life."

Answer 6

No, it won't change anything since the serpent would still be somewhere else if not hanging from the forbidden tree. Besides, God only forbid Adam and Eve not to eat its fruit, but didn't say anything about chopping the tree and use it as a bon fire.

Answer 7

nah, that's what the bible says god did when he was pissed off because of adam and eve eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge. Except, I get the impression it was ripped up by the roots and transplanted to paradise, or something like that. I could see the humor in going back in time to try to find it and chop it down though. hehehe

Answer 8

hmmm, except that the Garden of Eden sorta got wiped out/removed from this world during or before the flood.

Answer 9

I bet the tree of life is really big. Like the tree of life they have in Disney's Animal Kingdom.

What you'd have then, in my opinion, is a grand and enchanted log cabin. And a lot of fruit for the baking.

Answer 10

Nothing much will be change, Adam and Eve sin not because they ate the fruit but they disobey God. That is the most important thing, nothing to do with the tree.

Answer 11

that would not have happened.... there was no one else around yet.... and then, when adam sinned, he got kicked out, with 4 angels to guard the place so no one could get back in....

but to be technical, it was bad enough to eat the fruit of the tree,..... to cut it down would have been even bigger trouble. I think God would have been less friendly....

same thing in your yard.... you can get mad if someone fools with your tree, but you would be really mad if they came in your yard and cut your tree down.
