Was the tree of life connected to the garden of eden?
The tree of life stood exactly in the lovely garden of Eden. It gave immortality to whoever ate it. A common misconception is that it is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. That tree was next to it. Adam and Eve ate from the tree of good and evil, and their eyes were opened. God banished them from the garden so that they would not eat from the tree of life; this would mean they would be sinful for eternity.
