TREE OF KNOWLEDGE, GOOD AND EVIL
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. (KJV)
We have been teaching the verbiage of Moses in his communication. Moses used a lot of figures of speech in his writings, which means the writings of Moses need to be paid attention to very seriously. That also means that the scriptures were communicated in dark sayings which need interpretation. The writer of Hebrew gave us a lead to this,
Hebrews 1:1-3,
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high”.
This means in Jesus we have clarity of what the prophets communicated to the Father. Now Jesus in communication with his disciples, taught with this understanding.
We said in previous studies, that life is not found in a tree, the same way there is no tree in the scriptures or history which is called the "tree of good, knowledge and evil. Meaning evil is not found in a tree but in a person. The question is who is this person where evil can be found? Let's listen to Jesus.
Matthew 15:16-20,
“And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man”.
Clearly, in this text, Jesus let us know that not what goes in the mouth defiles a man, but what comes out of a man, that to say if Adam in the garden ate something, it will not defile him, therefore it is not that Adam ate something. Again, Jesus in the above text made it clear that evil and good are found in a man (heart).
Therefore, when God asked Adam not to eat from the tree of knowledge good and evil, meant that Adam should not follow his own way but to believe in Christ who is the tree of life. Therefore, we can safely say that the sin of Adam is not that he (Adam) ate something, but a rejection of Christ who was the tree of life in the garden. To take everything Moses wrote literally will cause you to be in error. Moses’ verbiage must be understood as explained by Jesus and the apostle.
CONFESSION: I believed in Christ Jesus, therefore, I have eaten the Tree of Life.
