George, I've got to take a break for a bit, but I do have an initial response to one of your questions.
Quote:
You asked twice:
Do Christians need the tree of life
and
then who needs to eat of the tree of life?

But before that you quoted Revelation 22:14.
Quote:
|
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
|
Do you see a difference in the verse and your question?
This is where my understanding of "rightly dividing" kicks in. The verse says that these have a
right to the tree of life, not that they
need it. You are reading into the verse something that is not there.
