Running out of story book to read as bedtime story for two kiddos, i decided to read to them the Bible to put them to sleep. While reading the first book which is "Genesis" an interesting information or should i say fact caught my attention. since i was a kid we were all told about story of Adam and Eve and the forbidden tree in the garden of Eden. It was told that it gave the first Man and Woman on earth the knowledge of being naked and the knowledge on what's right and wrong. because of this, they were cast away from the garden.
What made me interested is that, there were actually two trees in the garden of Eden that was said to be forbidden. the one that Eve ate the fruit with is called the Tree of Wisdom and Knowledge and the other one was the "Tree of Life" that could have made them immortal. When the two humans were sent out of Eden God then had two beast and a flaming sword guard the Tree so that no one could ever come near it.
Okay, so i have read the book before but i haven't read it like this, it's like the same book with a different story. Amazing! the book answered some of my questions including why women have to bare a child so painfully and why Man has to work hard to support his family. It's because of what they did, they disobeyed God and so they were punished.
But what interest me more and raised a lot of questions in my head is that, what happen to Eden? where is it now? and the tree of life? it all connect now why there are some people trying to find the fountain of youth, immortality etc. And why was the trees put there in the first place? did God intended to to test the humans? I know evil already exist during the time so was that some kind of bet between God and Evil?.... hmm.. i wonder.... maybe if i keep on reading i'll find out more....
