No they are separate trees. Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and were expelled from the Garden of Eden because of it.
It says in Genesis 3:22 And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."

No. Adam and Ever were taken out of the Garden of Eden to prevent them from eating of the Tree of Life also and living for ever. Genesis 3:22
Genesis 2:9 - And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

No. They are two different trees. The day/ age they ate of the tree of Knowledge surely they died.
God barred the way to the Garden of Eden with flaming swords, so they could not eat of the tree of Life anymore. That is why they (Adam, man&woman) died spiritually, Adam willingly disobeyed God, and became spiritually dead/ blind. So, they also died within an age/ 1000s yrs physically also.

They are like a mirror image of each other. An enlightened one sees the tree of pairs of opposites[good & evil] while "standing" at the tree of eternal life, and sees the tree of eternal life while "standing" at the tree of the pairs of opposites.

No they are 2 separated guidelines, Ops did I say guidelines, certain I did If Eve ought to have waited for that aspect cycle to set in her body she ought to have went to Adam & suggested Honey it really is now time to furnish yet another offspring from God with eternal life, yet no the serpent which replaced into an upright creature formerly the curse, I project everybody, Preachers & all to teach to me that the serpent replaced right into a snake chatting with Eve, it isn't in the bible, even if the upright creature went to Eve because devil enticed him to, & then the upright creature confident Eve to have the courting out of God due time body, seem seem & see what God did to the serpent in the curse & no longer formerly the curse, I project everybody to teach me incorrect, Oh certain they're going to thumb me down with out even reading about it, it truly is what little little ones do. So those 2 timber replaced into no longer literal timber, each of the timber grew out of the floor except the tree of of understanding of strong & evil & the tree of life,They were in the midst of the backyard & no longer in the floor, they are 2 guidelines of duplicate. And to promptly even as God cursed the lady what did he cursed, her reproductive organs, & she lost the understanding even as she will be in a position to conceive, yet in Rev. 3:3 & 14 shows me sometime we will once again be conscious of there'll be no more advantageous curse & we may have the right again to the tree of life. COME ON NOW & teach ME incorrect, you won't be able to DO IT WITH THE BIBLE..,

When Adam was created, God placed in the garden of Eden “the tree of life.” (Gen. 2:9) This tree evidently had no intrinsic life-giving qualities in its fruit, but it represented God’s guarantee of life “to time indefinite” to the one whom God would allow to eat of its fruit. Since the tree was put there by God for some purpose, undoubtedly Adam would have been permitted to eat this fruit after proving faithful to a point that God considered satisfactory and sufficient. When Adam transgressed, he was prevented from having opportunity to eat from the tree, Jehovah saying: “Now in order that he may not put his hand out and actually take fruit also from the tree of life and eat and live to time indefinite,—.” Then Jehovah followed his words with action. He would not allow one unworthy of life to live in the garden made for righteous persons and to eat of the tree of life.—Gen. 3:22, 23.
Rather, by standing for 'the knowledge of good and evil' and by God’s pronouncement decreeing it to be out-of-bounds for the human pair, the tree became a symbol of God’s right to determine or set the standards for man as to what is “good” (approved by God) and what is 'evil' (condemned by God). It thus was meant to see of man’s respect for his Creator’s position and his willingness to remain within the area of freedom decreed by God, an area that was by no means cramped and that allowed for the greatest enjoyment of human life. Therefore, to violate the boundaries of the prohibited area by eating of 'the tree of the knowledge of good and evil' would be an invasion of or a revolt against God’s domain.
In the earthly Paradise of Eden, eating of "the tree of life" would have meant eternal life.

no, they are different...
man has already partaken of the tree of knowledge, and knows good from evil...
now man must partake of the tree of life, by choosing God and good...
