Curious what your textual support for that view is, and how it relates
to
"whosoever believeth in Him..."

Genesis 2:17 in the original IIRC (sorry, don't have my Pentateuch at
hand)
but redacted out in the Christian version. However Genesis 3:22, 23 and
24
make YHWH's intent clear. Seems to me that, if A&E were forbidden to know
good from evil, and got booted out of Eden to keep them from getting
eternal
life then any church that dispenses the forbidden knowledge and offers
eternal life can only be a tool of the devil, ... if you believe in
devils.

Ah, IOW you don't bother with trying to deal with it. You simply ignore
the
contrary language I noted.


No David I did not. I provided you the textual support for the view that
YHWH forbid man eternal life (Did you read it?).

How does that relate to "whosoever believeth in Him..."? Well obviously we
are talking about different gods. Remember, the people who believed in
YHWH, including the man we call Jesus, considered the dude who made Jesus a
god (Saul) a heretic.
