November 24, 2011 journal, Adam-and-Eve were locked out of the Garden of Eden for sin. The garden was shut down forever. Satan dwelled in the garden and spoke through the serpent to Eve tempting her to partake of the forbidden fruit. Stay in command of your self lest you be tempted to do things you will later regret. Veterans regret killing people in the wars and mothers regret aborting babies/children, especially in their later years of life. Stay alert to what is right and wrong always choosing right to avoid big-time regrets later. ontrary to popular belief, Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden not because they ate the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but in order to prevent them from eating from the tree of life (both forbidden trees are in Genesis 2:9) which would have made them eternal. God doesn't like competition! Here is the verse (Genesis 3:22-23): "And he said: Behold Adam is become as one of us, knowing good and evil: now, therefore, lest perhaps he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever. [23] And the Lord God sent him out of the paradise of pleasure, to till the earth from which he was taken." The "Rapture" is not in the Bible! Despite being believed by a large number of protestants (many of whom also believe that only that which is in the Bible can be true) it was actually invented in the 1600s by one Cotton Mather - otherwise famous for murdering women by strangling them to death (by hanging) in the Salem witch trials. The term in the Bible commonly mistranslated to the word "rapture" actually comes from the Greek ??p??? (harpazo) which actually means "caught up" or "taken away" and it refers to one person only (Philip). Do not get to thinking you are going to be raptured up and miss the tribulation meaning destruction. You will either die first or you will see the coming of the Lord to rule on the earth for a thousand years after he has cleansed the earth of all evil people and evil things. .
