I don't see (at all) how that verse, or your explanation for it, are defenses for a figurative interpretation of the garden of Eden.
You claimed that there was justification for ruling out a figurative interpretation of the Genesis Eden account. It is up to you to make a case for your claim. How can one make a defense if there is no offense?

You reach with your Reborn spirit ...That is only possible through JESUS. JESUS came here to stop the works of the devil ...again ...we do it through Him. You either stop repeated willful sin ...or you don't.
You are saying one reaches for the Tree of Life after one has already been reborn?

That makes no sense to me. I do not have to reach for something I already possess.

You have told yourself that you are Reborn ...a Child of GOD doesn't repeat willful sin.

What are you holding onto? Do you want to sin while it is still possible? Is that is? That's how a child of satan thinks.

No, i'm starting to get your view, you want everything handed to you because you said the magic words. You don't want to get on The Cross so you throw a fit at Scripture that disagrees with your view of do nothing double mind. aka you are protecting your fallen life:

Mat 16:25
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
You don’t have a clue. You do EXACTLY what you accuse me of doing.

I am amazed at your ability to misunderstand and misrepresent what others say, and to corrupt it to further your erroneous position.

Watch out.

This statement get's very close to crossing the line. You cannot insinuate a member is a child of satan here.

We have another new member who speaks the same lingo and is uncertain about their spirituality, though I forget their name. I noticed them an hour or two ago.
Either we have one person with multiple accounts or there is a coordinated assault against the site by an outside group. Four new members with the same doctrine as Sudakar.

What Fear of The LORD do you have if you think your repeated willful sin is automatically Covered by His Blood?

it's scary when you truly understand what this verse is talking about:

2Th 2:11
And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
I pray you come to know God’s grace so you will no longer be afraid.

Wow, that's double ironic.

One, your comment appears right after this:

And two, ...the call is coming from inside the building ...hello? You are under the lie.

Here’s some Scripture for you:

“Do not cast your pearls before swine”

I’m going to embrace Jesus’s words above in accordance with how they pertain to you.

You being a blind guide are completely incapable of shining light on anyone.
The Light is talking about The Truth ...of the situation we are in. You do everything possible to remain in the dark and pretend you are automatically Covered by His Blood. You are not on the Narrow Path because that takes walking in The SPIRIT ...and that ain't happening with willful repeated sin in your life.

it's death to your spirit (intentions) ....spiritual blindness. Your perception of the world is only darkness. sin/death is a downward spiral.
death/sin is using your own will ...separation from His Will of SALVATION.

it was not His Will for us to eat from that death tree.


Ecc 3:21
Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
