There is only 1 tree in heaven!
Soul Snack 9/127 ... The Prince of Paradise - B
Information is a necessary tool, but knowledge is a powerful persuader.
Canopied under perfect mist-laden skies, Adam walks erect with head held high, feet flat and lives with Love! In fact Adam lives a still perfect love. He had just been made in the image of He who is love.
There is only one instruction, but two trees. This scene so resplendent in its pure simplicity. Adam is given choice. (Surely that too was part of being in God's image.) Adam would rule Eden as he chose.
Choice would always be part of Eden. God constructs no puppets. There can be no loving relationship where there is no choice in its pursuit.
The joy of Eden now unspeakable, the sin of Eden still undoable - surely!
Sharing from his caring wife, Adam bites into the knowledge of good and evil, he savours its new sweetness, blissfully unaware to its impending bitterness. Tantalisingly quickly the desirable sweetness is lost, but the bitterness remains. Heaven had been lost - hell had been gained. Pandora's box now open.
When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Gen 3:6
There are still two trees to eat from, two trees to learn from!
Only one is in heaven, only one gives life - eat to live!
