Two trees

What species of tree do you think the tree of life is, and also the forbidden fruit tree in the Book of Genesis?

Is the forbidden tree fig? For the forbidden tree, since Adam and Eve tried to cover themselves with fig leaves.

Why do some artists depict the forbidden tree as an apple?

ok nobody knows

thats ok like it really doesnt matter all trees are the same right?

No, all tree are different. I think that your fig tree hypothesis has merit.

the tree of life I reckon could be the coconut. Well that is what the cook islanders call it.

But in Israel its more likely to be the Olive.

I've heard speculation that the forbidden fruit could have been the pomegranate.

Or maybe it's a fruit that hasn't existed since Yahweh kicked man outta Eden. Maybe it was unique.

In Revelation 22 it says the Tree of Life has 12 kinds of fruit that bear monthly and the leaves are for "healing the nations".

Soooo...it could be they're all new fruits we've never heard of or maybe it's pears and plums and apples and pomegranates and figs and bananas and peaches and....

They are not a part of the vegetable kingdom as it exists. Since Paradise is now in Heaven, the tree of life is with it.
Definitely not. They did use fig leaves but from the fig tree. And figs are still around.
They failed to think that through. Johnny Appleseed must have been chagrined.

It had to be a tree whose fruit was bigger than one bite-sized fruit, and access to the fruit would have been from ground level.

Apple.

There are plenty of fruits that can be picked from ground level and take more than a bite to eat.

Pomegranate.

The tree of life is the Christ species; the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the Satan species

[Mat 7:18 KJV] 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
[Mat 7:20 KJV] 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Did Satan plant it?

Satan is it

[Psa 37:35 KJV] 35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
[Pro 11:30 KJV] 30 The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life; and he that winneth souls [is] wise.

Orange.

personaly i dont see the the two trees where earthly trees. i personaly feal they where spiritual trees of light producing spiritual manna. revelation 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. the tree of life is in the paradise of God. that is where the Garden of eden is located. I personaly feal adam and eve had access to his spiritual kingdom.

Peach tree.

hmm Proverbs 3:18 suggests the tree of life is wisdom and she is female...

In China the peach does represent longevity/symbol of immortality

I dont know of any other fruit that people associate with eternal life. I like oranges, but only have pomegranates rarely. And olives you cant eat straight off the tree, they need to be pickled.

Israelis are often named sabras...the fruit of the prickly pear cactus. Though cacti are not really a tree.

I hope it's a Banana tree.

I really like Bananas.

If you were to name the tree of life after someone from the bible, what name would you choose?

I think you are on the right track. When I prayed for clarity in regard to the Creation Story, this became my understanding. It’s allegorical mingled with facts. Adam and Eve were created to serve God. We were originally vegetarian. The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil is being taught a right and a wrong. The fruit of knowing right and wrong is guilt. This is demonstrated in canines. We housebreak dogs teaching them right from wrong. This results in guilt. Eventually they will eat what they aren’t supposed to, or chew something and then they hide when you come home. Once they are forgiven they reunite with you and it’s back to normal. Guilt is an emotion that disables the communication between us and our Creator. This is why the sacrifice system was invented. The blood doesn’t eliminate guilt. Faith that the blood atones for sin eliminates guilt, restoring our connection to God. This is why we also need to forgive others.

The Tree of Life is our spiritual connection with the Everlasting Father. He created these vessels we inhabit and will create new vessels for us to inhabit at the resurrection.

The tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil does just that: it provides the knowledge of good and evil. So the question
to me then becomes : what factor could there be, that when it is plumbed to its its essence, would define and thereby provide a knowledge to distinguish between good and evil?
