Where was or is the garden of Eden and is there still Cherubim and a flaming sword gaurding it?

The garden of Eden WAS in the East of Eden, at the headwaters of a great river which flowed out of the garden and divided into four rivers. (Genesis 2:8-14)\n\nWhen the Flood happened (Gen. 7) it REALLY messed up the real estate, and the garden was destroyed, so there is no need to have a Cherubim standing guard.

a while back i asked a pastor that question at a friends house and we got into that discussion.. its not really proven yet where the Garden actually was.. some relegious groups say it never really existed and it was a heaven thing, but then in Genesis says Adam and Eve were the first persons on earth and they were at the garden. \n\nYet most geographicians(if thats a word lol) believe to be on the Middle East, near Mesopotamia. and that is because on text is say from Eden the river diveded into 4 other rivers or 4 branches which is tigris, Euphrates, Pishon, & Gohin. Today 2 of those rivers are no longer with water.. but from satellite photos, has reveled 2 dry riverbeds flowing toward the Persian Gulf, near where Tigris and Euphrates also terminate..\n\nwell hope that helped u asnwer ur question!!

It all goes back to Abraham and Ishmeal. The fighting and feuding won't ever end. Read Genesis to see the proof.....

There is but just rumors of magic use in Solomons time, nothing concrete. But since alot of the population were jews, it wouldnt be a far stretch to accuse them of anything back then, afterall we are all human.

Yes, a resounding yes! Eve did have union with the serpent! Of course, you'd also have to check out the myth of the goddess/ demon mother, Lillith, the mythical first wife of Adam, but that's yet another story...\n\nFirst clue...Have you ever wondered why Adam and Eve only had sex - after their fall and not before? Guess who taught the naive Eve about sex? The Serpent!\n\nAnother clue. Have you ever wondered about the phrase 'we were all conceived in sin?' Well, this can be taken literally - as in, we, the fallen humans, were offspring of the union between Eve and the serpent.\n\nNext point. To paraphrase the mystics, it is the serpent that gave Eve - and us - the gift of forbidden knowledge and of mortality, or pointed us towards it. \n\nAlso according to many mystics, Adam and Eve were not flesh and blood, but spiritual archetypes - blue prints of human architecture. Same thing goes for the serpent. Once you can see this, the possibilities are endless, as far as theories go.

Rumor is that it was a muddled version of\n\nIN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.\n\n\nWell that's the rumor.

it's not explicitly mentioned in the bible, but it's believed to be the apple.  historians are now questioning that because there weren't apples were eden is claimed to exist. now the theory is pomegranates.

Why is a serpent used to incite Eve to eat \n>from the forbidden tree in the biblical tale ?\n\nWhy NOT?\n\n\n>Why is the serpent the one who incited Eve to eat \n>from the forbidden tree? \n\nWhy NOT?\n\n>and what does the serpent symbolise? \n>in many civilizations the serpent was depicted as a deity \n>symbol as the egyptian and sumerican civilizations , \n>what was the reality behind the serpent symbol \n>in the garden of Eden? \n\nCould it be the same, the Deceiver? The one who deceived them in the Garden of Eden and the one who got the Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations to worship him as Deity?  Isn't that what he always wants? To be "like god"?

Sodom, if it had ever existed, was situated somewhere deep underneath what is now known as the Dead Sea. So, if it is was a volcano that erupted and destroyed it, that nameless volcano is also buried in the same locale...   \nIn Genesis, God is claimed to have 'rained burning coals and embers from above' - namely the skies ! If so, it would more possibly have been a meteor, and not a volcano...\nBut, I would rather share the opinion of most historians - that the whole episode is a fabricated myth, to scare and frighten the poor 'believers' about the 'wrath of God' !

Someone posted a question trying to justify incest with his daughters using the OT example of Lot as an example. I spent quite a time answering this, only to find the next morning that the question had been removed. Just in case anybody else has problems with the passage, here's my answer anyway.\n\nLot and his Daughters\n\nThank you for raising this question, it's caused me to get my Bible out and read the story again for myself. If anybody is actually interested in understanding it properly, they need to go back to Genesis 11 and start from the beginning.\n\nAn old pagan called Abram is worshipping one day at the local ziggurat in Ur of the Chaldees and Yahweh comes and reveals Himself to him. The Bible doesn't tell us that Abram did anything special to earn or merit this revelation, just that God, for His own reasons, chose to reveal Himself to him. This really upset the religious locals, who followed a mixture of astrology and Babylonian mystery religions. Abram was rejecting their pantheon of Gods and going round telling people there was only one true God. Talk about upsetting the neighbours. And you should have heard the gossip!\n\nAbram leaves Ur with his father Terah, his nephew Lot and their households. They passed through the Euphrates (a type of baptism) and arrived at Harran, where they got too comfortable and stayed until Terah dies. At this point Yahweh gives Abram a kick up the backside and points him towards the Promised Land.\n\nSome time after they arrive in Caanan there is a famine, and what happens next has a direct bearing on Genesis 19 as cited.\n\nAbram, taking Sarai his wife and Lot with him, goes down into Egypt (always a type for the world). Here they encounter all the corruption of Pharaoh’s court and the fleshpots of the most advanced nation on earth. After moving back to Caanan, Lot sits round the campfire and dreams of the forbidden things he has seen. If you carefully read the start of chapter 13, you will see that when Lot separated from Abram, he looked to the east, towards Sodom, and chose that because it reminded him of Egypt and the forbidden pleasures that he had been dreaming of.\n\nFast forward now to chapter 19 and Lot has given up farming on the plains outside of Sodom and has allowed the lure of sin to draw him inside the city. Lot had abandoned his God to the extent that he was prepared to allow his daughters to marry those that God called detestable, but even so, God did not abandon him.\n\nWe know what happened next, but if you really think that God condoned the sin you have to be crazy. The offspring of those illicit unions went on to form the Moabites and the Ammonites, two of the most cursed tribes in history.\n\nThis is a classic morality tale of reaping that which you have sown and is recorded not only as historical truth, but as an admonition to all of us. Genuine queries on any of this are welcome.

Her name was Lilith.  I believe, but might be wrong, that it is a hebrew origin.  She was suppose to be Adams first wife, make from the earth.  She wouldn't submit or be subserviant to Adam so god cast her out of the garden of eden.  He then made eve from adams rib.  Alot of things have been said about her like she became a demon, a vampire, evil, etc.  Just go to any major search engine and look her up, the variety of legands are great reading!

No one knows exact locations, however it is believed that Soddom and Gomorrah was located just southeast of the Dead Sea in Jordan. The city of Babylon was very famous for its hanging gardens which is a possible location for the garden of Eden which was known to be very close to where the Tigris and Euphrates branched. This is in current day southern Iraq. The Bermuda or otherwise known as the Devil's triangle is located on the southern tip of Florida. It's borders lie between two islands before returning to Florida. The Triangle streches NE from Miami to the island of Grand Bahama, runs south to the Andros islands and then returns north to Miami.
