The name of the fruit is given! An apple tree yields apples. A plum tree grows plums. So, the tree of knowledge of good and evil gave the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. There was only 1 tree of life and one tree of knowledge in the garden. Since the garden was sealed off to keep humans out, nobody alive since the deaths of Adam and Eve has seen or tasted that fruit.
Hello, and Happy New Year, Jim! Thank you for the video. I have a genuine question about Mark 16:16: Does this verse speak of physical or spiritual baptism (washing or cleansing)? When I read John 3, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born [a]again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Aside from believing, I think a physical baptism is not required (although I have been baptized) for salvation, but being baptized by the Holy Spirit is a requirement. Thoughts? Thanks for your time and consideration of my question and position.
Great question! Probably a bit too much to relay in the comments. I’d be happy to make a video soon considering both sides and try to bring some clarity to the subject. Thanks again for your continued support
Another Biggie... The phrase "God is in Control" is not a bible verse...He is Sovereign, He holds the Universe together, He knows the beginning from the end, but God is not a "Control freak" . a better way to say it might be "are we allowing God to Lead, guide and direct our path? or are we still trying to control things?"

I love that! Very insightful. Thank you
Thank you. I have had these same arrangements for years. Yet people choose to believe what is not even recorded.
I call it the John 8:44 mentality. Sad but it happens. Also see 2 Thes 2:11.
Yes. Like a pretrib escape from the planet.

Absolutely Amen! Thanks for adding to the discussion
