In the garden of Eden there was the tree of knowledge (We have that, and it causes death) There were other trees for Adam and Eve to eat off (God doesn't say what those trees do) Then there was the tree of life (Was that the way to heaven?) What about the cherubs on either side of the garden (Bio polarization guarding the way back in?)

Maybe?

You'll find "The Tree of Life" (Jesus) returns in Revelation.

God said Adam and Eve could eat from the other trees.

Genesis 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

The Tree of the Knowledge of Evil caused death because Adam and Eve rebelled against their Creator by disobeying Him by eating of the tree. The other trees in the garden were presumably good for eating, since nothing more is said about them. The Tree of Life was an actual tree. In more figurative parts of the Bible, Jesus is referred to as the Tree of Life. The cherubs to the east of the garden of Eden were high-end angels of God. The flaming, spinning sword that guarded the way to the Tree of Life was a flaming, spinning sword. I'm not sure what bio-polarization has to do with anything.

The Garden got wiped out in the flood. It's not around anymore. We're not going back to something that's not there anymore.

God commanded Adam not to eat the fruit which was a real tree with the others but it's fruit some can poison the spirit. eat the wrong one is like a coin toss because some of its fruit were wonderful and some fruit were suffering/evil misery spiritual death but Adam didn't listen ate the fruits anyways but God did command man too listen to him but he also give free will a gift to Adam but he disobeyed God.

It wasn't like a coin toss. God said they could eat of any tree, but not of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. It's a pretty deliberate decision to eat fruit from a forbidden tree when you're expressly being told not to eat of it.

the fruit it's self really wasn't poison it's was like any other tree the mere act of disobeying Gods commend this was the bad fruit once Adam disobeyed that's a deliberate decision on Adams part free will to disobey was the first sin bad fruit. some say it was a fig tree for they covered up with fig leaves

sure and He does:

Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.
(Ezekiel 47:12)

The verse refers to the New Heavens and New Earth, but since that will be a restored creation, a return to Eden, it's very apt. Cheers for sharing. It's been a long time since I've read Ezekiel. :)

In Genesis 2:9-11 every tree does this mean every tree?? I haven't read in scripture the tree of knowledge is a bad tree

…9Out of the ground the Lord God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 10Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers. 11The name of the first is Pishon; it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold 12The gold of that land is good; the bdellium and the onyx stone are there.

Gold huh people rob banks for it

Compare the River in God's Garden of Eden with the River shown in Ezekiel 47 which is for after Christ's 2nd coming.

God's Garden of Eden, or Paradise, is wherever He is. It was once upon this earth per Gen.2-3. But at the ending of Gen.3 we are shown cherubs put in place to guard the way to the tree of life, which is in ... His Garden of Eden Paradise. Since then it has been in Heaven where He is.

It requires understanding about the two different dimensions of existence written of in God's Word, this earthly one of material matter, and the Heavenly one of spirit. Because He once dwelt upon this earth as shown by His Eden in Gen.2, it reveals the Heavenly dimension can be joined with this earthly dimension in the same space and time. This is what Revelation 21-22 shows also about the future New Jerusalem coming down out of Heaven from God to this earth.

Could have Indeed :) today only God knows now what type of tree the fruit bared. Probably it's fruitless to even really know which type of tree it was. But good thread point being about disobeying God, Adam n Eve ate the fruit hook,line and sinker something tempted them thus opened the door to temptions
