I just read that the Garden of Eden is in Iraq so...?

Question

does that mean that the US is having war in the Garden of Eden? (I read that on a couple answers on a religion question) Wouldn't that be symbolically very very bad for christians? Eating a piece of fruit is one thing, but blowing it up?

Answer 1

You made me laugh out loud - I find your analogy very interesting-blowing up the Garden of Eden, never thought of it that way. Sumerian civilization originated in what is now southern Iraq, I am not sure if it was the Garden of Eden, however, the Sumerian language is the oldest sophisticated form of writing in existence, and dates from at least 3400 B.C.E. These early writings, however, are neither crude nor primitive, and no other source as been identified as to where it might have been developed. As Laurence Gardner has said in Genesis of the Grail Kings [2], “It appeared in a complete and composite form, as if from another world, in the style known as cuneiform (wedge-shaped).” [emphasis added] “There are now tens of thousands of clay tablets and cylinder-seals containing Sumerian texts describing everything from taxation and administrative records to essays and literature. It is a unique phenomena.” I would bet there are some interesting artifacts that would help humanity understand the beginning of existence.

Answer 2

confident yet there is countless uncertainty as to the actual section. the classic section for the outdoor of Eden has long been suggested to have been a mountainous area some 225 km SW of Mount Ararat and a few kilometers S of Lake Van, indoors the eastern area of present day Turkey. The crucial technique of determining its geographic section is the Bible’s description of the river “issuing out of Eden,” which thereafter divided into 4 “heads,” producing the rivers named using fact the Euphrates, Hiddekel, Pishon, and Gihon. some, alongside with Calvin and Delitzsch, have argued in choose of Eden’s subject someplace on the brink of the suitable of the Persian Gulf in shrink Mesopotamia, approximately on the region the region the Tigris and the Euphrates carry on the brink of jointly. in spite of the elementary actuality that, this would make those rivers tributaries, incredibly than branches dividing off from an unique source. The Hebrew text fabric components, incredibly, to somewhat indoors the mountainous section N of the Mesopotamian plains, the area the region the Euphrates and Tigris rivers have their modern-day components

Answer 3

Genesis mentions 4 rivers that surrounded the garden, two being the tigris and euphratis which still bear the same names today in Iraq. Genesis also states that after mans expulsion from the garden the tree of life which could give the eater everlasting life would be protected by a cherubim and a flaming sword for all time.

I think the garden is safe if it still exists. Bethlaham is in Iran and the Iraqis bombed it with poison gases in the 1980's. I think thats probably worse but who knows.

Answer 4

Many has the wrong belief about God driving man & woman out of the Garden of Eden, God did not move them from a geographic part of the earth, He just removed his majestic presense from mankind, In Gen.2:10-15 gives you the boundry line of the Garden

Answer 5

Many biblical scholars believe the Garden of Eden was located in Iraq. Hey, we're not blowing up Iraq.

Answer 6

That would not be the garden of Eden. Even if they found the garden of Eden, they would not be able to enter it. The garden of Eden is long gone by now.

Answer 7

I heard that too but thats just one know it alls opinion.

Its a bit off the wall but i think Adam was european.
probably the world did evolve the way scientists say it has(and theres no real reason to doubt them)and if God did create the world then the only way to make up the discrepency is to come to the conclusion that what God told moses was an explanation moses could understand.

Man as we know him now has been around 30000yrs,history has been around about 6000yrs,
30000yrs ago an event in mans evolution call the great leap forward(adam?) happened in europe and spread eastward,,man lived alongside neanderthal man and neanderthal man died out,
Maybe Noahs flood is Gods explanation to moses about this.

Answer 8

just conjecture We dk
