Question About Eden.

We all know that’s what Samuel used Tic for in the 2nd episode until his spell backfired & killed everyone in the order, & that’s where Christina wants to go where she’ll be immortal, even though she’s stopped talking about it since episode 2.

She seems to know her theology very well but theres’ something I’m surprised that she forgot. The little matter of the angel with the flaming sword that was charged to protect Eden.

“So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life”

Even if she gains access to Eden, & I mean by that just to even go to it’s location there’s no way she’s going to be able to enter it with the angel guarding. She’s not going to have the power to counter that so it’s a mistake that this show makes. With how she was taught about the garden by her father, I’m surprised she didn’t take this into account.

Christina has been quite knowledgeable throughout the show so if the angel is there she probably has a plan. Or the show/source material decided to omit this part of the lore. Or maybe we'll see Christina get run through with a flamming sword which, if you aren't rooting for that yet, she'll likely do something in the finale to ask to become a kabob.

She also made it pretty clear when she told TIC the BIBLE VERSE (where ADAM NAMES everything) that she doesn't really believe in what the BIBLE has to say. So for that reason she probably also wouldn't believe in there being an ANGEL there to guard the entrance to the place.

And even IF she does believe in what it has to say (which one would also assume she must if she also believes in being IMMORTAL), then she probably also thinks the TIME MACHINE will enable her to go FAR ENOUGH BACK in TIME to the TIME BEFORE the fall and the EXPULSION takes place (which would also mean before the EXPULSION there also wouldn't even be the need for an ANGEL to be guarding that area yet).

What I suspect is the GARDEN AREA is also a place where others like the MAN/WOMAN exist, because we're also told in GENESIS that the body of ADAM was SPLIT UP in order to create EVE.

So ADAM must have also been a 2 SPIRIT BEING before (one like the other character was that MONTROSE KILLS) . Because they also said they were WITHOUT the kind of SIN that their FOREFATHERS bore (which also makes it sound like they are the only one's worthy enough to ENTER into EDEN).

So anyone who is SPLIT UP or is just ONE SPIRIT would probably get REJECTED.

But CHRISTINA is also walking around as being WILLIAM half of the time (sort of like being 2 SPIRITS at different times), which may also further complicate matters for us with her also being a 2 SPIRIT kind of BEING because of that???

But if she appears to the ANGEL as HALF a FEMALE on one side and HALF a MALE on the other SIDE maybe then she'd also be able to GET INSIDE of EDEN???
