Yemen is south of Saudi Arabia...
Yemen is south of Saudi Arabia; the Euphrates and the Hiddekel Rivers are in Iraq, and from their Delta they pour into the Persian Gulf. The Tigris rises in the Armenian mountains in Eastern Turkey and flows southeast through Baghdad and joins the Euphrates in southeast Iraq. The Euphrates also rises in East Turkey, flowing south across Syria and Iraq to join the Tigris, forming the Shatt-al-Arab, which flows to the head of the Persian Gulf. So where is that in relation to Eden?
The rivers Pison and Gihon, however, are to be found in China. How could this be God's Gospel? The Old Testament Forbids Adam from Eating from the Tree of Good and Evil In Genesis 2:16 we read: "And the Lord God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it, you will surely die." Because Adam did not, in fact, die after eating from the tree after God had warned him, "you will surely die," is to accuse God of lying.
This is impossible. God does not lie and to suggest such a thing is an insult to God's Holiness. How can they say that their Book is a Holy Book, a Gospel in view of this? Another point is that God forbade Adam from eating what would give him knowledge of good and evil. This, too, is unthinkable. God did not create his creatures except to show them good and evil. It is for this reason that God sent His Prophets to warn us and to tell us of the rewards of doing good over evil.
So how could it be that God forbade Adam from eating what would give him knowledge of good and evil? This would contradict the reason for Creation. Some people may suggest that "spiritual death" is implied, but this argument is unfounded. In the Old Testament, it is written that Adam and Eve were naked and felt no shame. If they were feeling shame, then we can deny “spiritual death", therefore "die" must mean in the physical sense.
How God has been Described in the Old Testament It does not take much to see that God's Holiness has been ridiculed in the Old Testament. It is so far from reality. With much sorrow, this is what we see. Before the Creation of the World, God's spirit was moving on the surface of the water. (Genesis 1:2) "Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters." God became tired from Creating and rested.
