In context, what I said (past tense) was that the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil BECOMES A TYPE of Mosaic Law.

When Moses was in the Mount receiving the law, God forewarned Moses that no person or beast should come near the Mount to touch it lest they die.

In the N.T. Hebrews repeats this truth.

When Moses came down the Mount he saw the Israelites sinning with an idol and in anger he smashed the Tablets. This is the TYPE teaching what happens when man has God's law - he breaks it immediately.

The 2nd set of Tablets was placed in the Ark teaching that only in Christ is Mosaic Law kept covered with a Mecry Seat.

The WHOLE message of the Bible is:

O.T. law is the type of the Tree = we cannot keep it as required (perfection).

Only in Christ was it kept THEN God crucified it.

NOW, we are to not TOUCH that law as the way to relate with God or maintain salvation. We are to relate the new and only way possible - the way of faith APART from the law which is called the gospel.

99% of incultured 2nd generation christianity simply does not believe God - IF YOU TOUCH THAT TREE/LAW YOU WILL SURELY DIE.

Give me the facts and I'm happy enough.

Eve committed the first sin......

Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
