A:

Genesis 2:17 says that God placed a Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the middle of the Garden of Eden. By eating the fruit of this tree, Adam had become god-like: (3:22) "now the man is become like one of us." Adam became like the gods, except that he was still mortal. So that he would not now eat of the Tree of Life which God had also planted in the Garden of Eden, and thus become immortal like the gods, God sent Adam and Eve from the Garden and placed cherubim (Hebrew; sing: cherub) and a flaming sword to keep (block) the path to the Tree of Life (3:24).

What are the names of the angels guarding the trees in the garden of Eden?

Adam and Eve had eaten of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and were now like gods (Genesis 3:22: "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us..."), except that they were still mortal. God told them what they now already knew: that Eve she must bear children in pain and that one day they will die. By eating of the Tree of Life, they would then also be immortal, so the only course left open to God was to banish Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and place cherubim and a flaming sword across the path back to the Tree of Life. This was not a punishment, but a necessary result of their having become god-like.Strictly speaking, cherubim were not angels, in the post-Exilic sense. They were perceived as sphinx-like creatures with the bodies of lions, human heads and wings. The Bible never gives individual names to cherubim.

How is flaming simalar to heckling?

Flaming and heckling are both forms of negative communication, but typically occur in different contexts. Flaming usually takes place online, involving hostile or aggressive messages aimed at provoking a response, while heckling is more commonly associated with live events, where individuals disrupt a performance or speech with disrespectful comments or behavior. Both actions can be hurtful and disruptive, but flaming tends to be more anonymous and pervasive, while heckling is often more direct and immediate.
