Two Trees

   Hello again,

In the church today there is a large problem. Few people see it and even fewer know what it is. But still it sits there so big that noone sees it and the few that do have no idea how to fix it.  I personally have wrestled with the issue myself and found no easy answers.

   So as the Lord has instructed me to do I will do the only thing I can. Expose it.  You might ask what is this problem. Well I’m going to tell you. We are eating the forbidden fruit. Yes in the christian church we are eating the forbidden fruit. You might ask how are eating the fruit.                                                                        

   Well to show you how I must take you back to the first of our kind. In the garden of eden Adam and Eve ate from one of the trees in the middle of the garden. The tree of good and evil.  NO! they did not eat of the tree of good and evil. They ate of the tree of the knowlege of good and evil.  In other words they ate of the ability to judge the differance between right and wrong.                                              

   So you still don’t see how we as christians do the same thing  everyday and espesially on sunday. What do we focus on? Morals! Thats right focussing on morallity is eatting the forbidden fruit. How is that possible you might ask. Well what are you taught in churches today? That’s right the differance between right and wrong. So what fruit are you being served? The knowlege of good and evil. 

     Something else you might notice is that the other tree in the middle of the garden wasn’t a tree of knowlege at all. The tree of life was just that, a tree of life. To eat of life is to just receive life. No learning how to live or what to do in life. Just life. That’s it. There isn’t anything else to do. Just live. When Moses asked God who do I say sent me to pharoah God answered I AM THAT I AM, or I EXIST PERIOD.

    That’s why the serpent wanted to deceive them. He could not stand the idea of Gods’ dream coming true. If they had eaten of the tree of life they would have no need for the knowlege of good and evil.   So how do we fix this problem? Simple stop focussing on good deed vs. evil deed. Just simply exist in Christ. In him we live , and move , and have our being. Jesus came to fix the problem that we had with sin. God had no problem with us. He through them out of the garden to protect them from eating of the tree of life and then being stuck in a physical existance of eternal curruption.

    You see taking from the wrong tree put us in a fix. We now see everything through the eyes of duallity. Right and wrong , up and down, holiness and wickedness.  And yes those things are real but the problem is that since they ate of  the knowlege of good and evil we think thats the point.  But it isn’t the point. God simply wants us to get over our issue of is it right or not and just hang out with him. That was his plan in the beginning. Someone to love and someone to love him back. Do you focus on what ticks your friends off when you hang out with them?  Of course not, you would have any fun if you did.    It is the same way with God. He just wants you to have fun with him.  But somehow we have turned it around and now we teach in churches that the way to the tree of life is through the tree of the knowlege of good and evil.  I agree. That is fuzzy logic but in effect thats what almost every pastor sunday school teacher and christians period teach.  God is calling us to come out from among them and be separate. Not following the tendancy to judge right and wrong. And not living in sin because that makes about as much since as going to your friends house and slapping his girlfriend. It would still be living in good and evil. The point is to live outside of right and wrong and just fellowship with God. Don’t be so concerned about that sin you commited an hour ago. God forgave for that 2000 years ago.  So I leave you with this try not to think is this right or wrong and think what does that have to do with me and the Father.  Till next time.
