Title: Who told you that you were naked?
Author: William E. Combs
Published by: Carpenter's Son Publishing

The book - Who told you that you were naked? By William E. Combs is an excellent and scholarly study of the most significant event in human history. Well okay evolutionists, you do not have to read this.


It is the most significant because, according to Mr. Combs it introduced sin and it's evil consequences, to which I fully concur. However, he and his team members did not make any literary errors making my objective to write a review confined to discussions about specific topics related to this significant event.


Because of the excellent literary content of this book, I rate it four out of four stars.


I fully agree that this is the most significant event in human history because it opened the human mind to malice, conceitedness and pride. Before the fall of man, the minds of Adam and Eve were pure and innocent because whatever God created were originally perfect, without blemishes.


My apologies to Mr. Combs, allow me to introduce some food for thought. Are the trees of Life and Knowledge of Good and Evil, literal trees? I am interjecting this question because the Tree of Life and it's fruits are still available today. It is often referred to as the Holy Spirit which bequeaths eternal life, the very same fruit of the Tree of Life.


The Bible summarize's the story of the Fall of Man in the Garden of Eden in one verse, it goes like this:


" For the wages of sin is death, while the gift of the Holy Spirit is eternal life."


The preceding verse is a brief, concise and direct to the point summary of the Fall of Man. Death is the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and eternal life is the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is noted that no literal trees are mentioned in this verse. Further, the Holy Spirit which gives the free gift of Eternal Life is sometimes referred to as the " River of Life " which shows that the two trees in the middle of the Garden of Eden can be symbolic not literal. Even the Body and Blood of the Lord were described as source of eternal life.


This is understandable because the Lord is also the " Word of God ", this means that the human body needs to be nourished by foods that grows out of the ground because in came from the ground, while the human spirit that came from God can be nourished only by words that came out of mouth of God.


This explains why the Lord commanded believers to eat His Body and drink His Blood, He was speaking in the spiritual sense, His words implies that His Spiritual Body is composed of words, just like a computer program that is composed of information. Anyone who eats His spiritual Body and drink His Blood are filled with information contained by His Spirit which shall imbue the believers with a likeness of His own mind.


Now back to the question, are the two trees at the middle of the Garden of Eden literal trees or are they symbolic figures? In the Book of Revelation, the Tree of Life was mentioned. In can be found in the middle of the Holy City and can be freely accessed by all during the First Millennium, at that time Jerusalem shall be the capital of the Kingdom of God.


During the Millennium, eternal life can also be had by drinking water from the River of Life that will flow at the middle of the city, the Lord will sitting upon the Throne of God on Jerusalem during the Millennium. A coincidence, perhaps?


Again, for the sake of clarification. Allow me to discuss briefly God's statement that Adam will die " surely, on that day " which was described by the author as one literal day. Let me interject another Biblical verse which said:


" For God, a thousand years is just a day and a day, as a thousand years. "


Adam lived for over nine hundred years.


Congratulations for this excellently written gem of a book.
