Your 2 Basic Choices for Being Human (According to the Bible)
In the opening pages of the Bible, God gives humanity a gift that they quickly forfeit—eternal life that comes by eating from the tree of life. In this video, we explore the meaning of this powerful image and how sacred trees play a key role throughout the story of the Bible. It all leads up to Jesus himself, who died upon a tree so that he could become a new tree of life for all humanity.

God Damn💯
The prohibition against the Tree of good and bad or the tree of knowledge turns humankind into automatons without out freedom to choose. And the freedom to choose is an essential element of human freedom. To make decisions for themselves depending upon their unique circumstances.
Knowing the distinction between right and wrong can be a good thing. It can act as a guide to one’s behavior. Taking that freedom away is tantamount to slavery. What not so good about it is that personal “behavior” (acting on one’s choices) can be bad. But bad behavior can be an act of learning because poor choices may not correlate well with the laws of the natural or social world.
If one really thinks about most biblical stories it should be fairly obvious they are intended for the “simpleminded. Unfortunately the real world is usually more complex than the biblical stories.
Sorry I'm autistic and don't really "get" it. But how do I "eat" from this tree. I'm so stressed out when I think of it.
This was beautifully done 👏 😊
Exactly. The Tree of Life. It is back at the Ending.
Your videos are doing so much justice to the bible
Amen 🙏🏽❤️🔥
Your videos are so beautifull
That was beautiful
Catholic here!, this is an amazing example of communion greatness 🤍
Thank you for your video. they are build me.
This is amazing. It all boils down to this, doesn’t it?
there's no choice except for how we act. HE chooses. Anything else is humanism.
So simple yet so convicting. Only God can truly move us. Thank you for your wonderful videos. ❤
what's with the title changes? i liked the old ones better
This was brilhiant! God Blees for such beautiful way to explain the message of God father and his son Yeshua. Aleluia!
These videos are amazing. They explain so much in such a clear way. And the animations are beautiful. Thank you for following Gods desires in you to produce this content. You have definitely brought me closer to God and I am sure many others too x
Wow. I normally love your videos – for their educational and stylish content. But this one was a work of ART – so, so beautiful!
Man, you guys have insane art direction. Kudos to your team!
Wasnt tree of knowledge of good and evil the tree in the middle of the garden?
@2:46 suddenly reminded me of John 6:54 "Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."
For a long time, I had no idea what Jesus meant when he said this. Now, I think I might know.
Divine…
Amen ❤
I LOVE YOU BIBLE PROJECT
This is the problem with Churchianity! There is zero indication in the Bible that the Tree of Life was like a temple or represented a temple. There is ample implication that the TOL represented God’s Holy Spirit by the fact that if Adam and Eve returned and ate of the Tree after their sin, they would’ve been cursed to live eternally in sin(Genesis 3:22-24). Next-The burning bush in Exodus 3:2-5 had nothing in common with the TOL other than it was in or on the ground. God’s presence is what made the ground holy. (See Joshua 5:14-15). Next- The ancient physical nation or children of Israel were never offered God’s Holy Spirit or salvation. They were a physical nation and were offered physical blessings only, which they never fully received because they broke their part of the covenant they made with God at Mt. Sinai. Churchians only focus on the person of Christ and not the Message that He brought from His Father who is the Head. That’s why videos like this contain little if any Biblical truth.
Beautifully depicted and wonderfully explained..Thank you Bible Project
How come you didn't mention that the Fruit of the Tree of Life (who is Jesus Christ Himself) is now offered to people as the Bread and Wine in the Holy Communion:
"While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you."
Jesus didn't say this is "like" my body, He didn't say the parable or a metaphor, He literally said: this IS my body. And as Jesus is the Fruit from the Tree of Life, so is His body and blood in the Holy Comunion. The fact that people call themselves Christians, and reject the Fruit of Life is mind boggling.
this is so beautiful
Beautiful video
I love how this powerful message is explained so well in this video
This is the best video I have seen in my 66 years on earth created very simple of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Thanks for sharing via YouTube. Smiles
I was impressed when you connected the tree of life with the seed which bears much fruits. I thank God for you…always watching your videos.
One of the things I love most about these videos is how The Bible Project shows the amazing symmetry of the scriptures as a whole. When looking at this massive collection of scrolls, to find the through line of a singular narrative over a span of 1,500 years, to me, it becomes undeniable that the men who wrote these works were not inspired of themselves.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amen
At approx 17 sec it is mentioned that the "top" of the garden is where the Holiest of Holies can be found. However, the Lord told Moses in Genesis 2:9 that the BOTH TREES are in the MIDDLE of the Garden. No sense of direction was given as to top, lower, or side BUT THE MIDST(MIDDLE) was mentioned specifically. Why twist this Scripture?
Jesus was sent as the Tree of life. He's been here all this time😢
The Bible says the two trees are in the midst of the garden. In Genesis 2:9. You said that one tree is on the way to the other which is incorrect.
You know you guys, do you like have a dvd with all of your short films on it? I'd be interested in getting hold of that!
