Adam Quote by Ron Phillips
““There at Eden it would seem that these cherubim are hostile to humans in that they guard the way, or block access to, the tree of life. On the contrary, they are exhibiting grace, for if Adam were to eat from that tree, he would have been cursed to live in an aging body forever. It was grace that set the cherubim there for us.””
