Hi Rene,

 

Thanks for posting those pictures of those large grapes on a vine tree in your 9/07 post at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/sep2012/rene97-1.htm I can see why he thinks that grapes are the forbidden fruit.

 

After reading your 9/05 and 9/07 posts and Dr. Ruckman's article, they still leave some unanswered questions in my mind which may not get answered until we reach heaven.  Questions, such as, if Adam and Eve were originally created with no blood in their bodies, were the all the animals in the garden of Eden created with blood or without blood in their bodies, or did the animals end up with tainted blood in their bodies as a result of Adam and Eve's disobedience in eating the forbidden fruit because Romans 8:22 says, "For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now." As you know during the millenium, we believers in Christ will have immortal, incorruptible bodies like Jesus with flesh and bones; and animals and reptiles will have a changed nature as well according to Isaiah 11:6-8.  

 

Also if Jesus got his pure blood from God, the Father, why wouldn't Jesus still have pure blood in his glorified, resurrected immortal body of flesh and bones since God, the Father and Jesus are one? 1 Corinthians 15:50 says that "flesh and blood cannot not inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption." Is that not speaking of mortal, corruptible flesh with blood tainted with sin that can die that cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and not immortal, incorruptible flesh? So why is it not possible for the Lord Jesus to have the pure blood of God the Father in his immortal, incorruptible body of flesh and bones? 

 

Another question-- were the angels created to have some type of pure blood or no blood at all?  Didn't the giants get their blood from their fathers who were fallen angels which were previously good angels until they sinned by going into the daughters of men?
