Your neighbors descended from some other tree of life, or maybe the same tree, but from Neandrathals, while you descended from Cro-magnon man, or what?
My neighbors are Western caucasian vegetarian Buddhists who teach at the local university. I'm not even sure if they are from this planet!
This is sure a fun thread!
Who is the "tree of life"?
The flesh body is descent from one generation to the next and there is no way that all flesh alive on this planet today came from just two people. The evolutionist will tell you that Eve had to have had several partners to bare children of the ethnicity we see today. However, the tree of life represents life to the soul that does not die with the death of flesh.
Adam and Eve and their generations are recorded as they were the linage to Christ the one destined to ... Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise too part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15. And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 For verily He took not on Him the nature of angels; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham.
Christ demonstrated for us at His flesh body dying that He went to the 'prisoners' all those that came before Him the offering of salvation while it appeared to those in the flesh he was still in the tomb.
