Christianity equates Jesus with the tree of life, which offers immortality in paradise; but the LORD God states clearly that the reason he banished humankind from paradise is “lest they eat of the tree of life and live for ever” (Genesis 3:22).

Prophecy is defined by the LORD God (in Deuteronomy 18:18-22) as having a scope limited by the prophet’s own lifetime. God says, in essence: “If a prophecy comes true, then I the LORD spoke it; if not, then you must slay the prophet for speaking falsely.”
But the prophecy of the advent of Christ is said to have come true after the death of the prophet who spoke it. The same goes for the prophecy of the “Second Coming.” Both of these foundational bases of Christianity violate God’s own parameters of prophecy.

The biblical books concerning Moses say that God established the Law “for ever.” Yet, some years later, when Jesus was assassinated, his followers claimed that his death “fulfilled” this Law and thereby superseded its statutes; in addition, the Christian Testament says that Christ will return “soon.”
I cannot believe that our world’s Creator would use the concept of “forever” to denote a span of just 1,500 years (the time that passed from Moses to Jesus) and then use the word “soon” to denote a span of more than 2,000 years. In other words, God would not say that SOON is longer than FOREVER.
