Eden

 

Have you ever wondered about Eden? Have you questioned if it really existed? Did Adam and Eve really exist? According to scripture they were banished from Eden because of sin. (Genesis 3:22-24) Where was the garden of Eden? The garden was apparently within Eden since it was the "garden of Eden". Where then was Eden? No one really knows because it was hidden from us until that time when the new heaven and Earth are revealed. (Revelation 21:1-3) Genesis 2:10 says a river came from Eden and parted into four streams that watered the garden. In the center of the garden were the two trees. The tree of life bearing the fruit that would give eternal life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. the location that is generally accepted is at the location of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. There is also a location in present day Turkey that fits the description in the bible. Modern day scholars still debate the location of Eden. What are your thoughts on this subject? Do you believe in the garden or do you think it is just a story?
