What clothing did God use to cover Adam and Eve? 2.  Why didn't God want Adam and Eve to eat from the tree of life? 3.  Where is the tree of life speculated to be today? Reply to Submit Answers I asked my Pastor to shed some light on the myth about the Bermuda Triangle, and his thoughts are that Genesis 2 tells us that it was between the Tigris and Euphrates, which places it in the middle east.  However, after Noah and the flood, the topography of the land changed, which could change the course of the rivers.  It's also possible that these two rivers were simply named after the original Tigris and Euphrates.  And the other two rivers mentioned in Genesis 2 are completely unknown after the flood.  Therefore any theory about the location of Garden of Eden is merely speculation. Genesis 4:1-16 Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of theLord I have brought forth a man.” Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast. Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.” **Interjection***  So here we have the first offspring Cain and Abel.  They both brought an offering to the Lord.  Why do you think God accepted Abel's offering but not Cains?  He brought an offering didn't he?  (An offering is like a gift for God).  The reason is because Abel gave his very best to God.   He gave the fat portions from the firstborn of his flock.  Don't you want to give the ones you love your very best?  Well Cain brought an offering but it wasn't his best.  His heart was not right and soon we will see how God judges and sees to ones heart, because of what Cain does next.   8Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.”d While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. ***Interjection***  Cain was jealous of Abel and he killed him!!  Cain's heart was full of sin and wickedness. 9Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?” 10The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. 11Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.” 13Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear. 14Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.” ***Interjection*** Wow! What was the worst punishment for Cain? To be separate from God's presence. It's like us... we will be restless until we seek God's presence.  We need God and we need to know Him to feel satisfied.  Nothing else in this world will truly fill the void in our life like God.  15But the Lord said to him, “Not soe ; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. 16So Cain went out from the Lord’s presence and lived in the land of Nod,f east of Eden. ***Interjection***  It sounds to me like God created other human other than Adam and Eve.  Hmmm.... What do you think? Next:  We will start to see a lot of genealogy throughout the Bible.  This is historically important to know our ancestors and to see that we all came from Noah who cam from Abraham who came from Adam.  We will see that Jesus Christ comes from the line of David, as this is a fulfillment of prophecy.  I'm getting ahead of myself!  Okay till next one. I will answer on the next lesson. SUBSCRIBE TO THESE LESSONS My pastor at Commissioned Church will be my accountability.
