QUOTE: Adam was told , if you sin you will die. That does not describe immortality."

Agreed. God alone is immortal.

1 Timothy 6:15-16 "1which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen."

People should study their scripture more. It was implied that Adam would not die if he did not eat of the fruit. It was also clearly stated that if he was allowed access to the Tree of Life he would not die, in spite of his sin. However, both situations are conditional, and do not represent true immortality.

Nonsense.

Adam’s choice foreclosed his immortality.

John 3:16 is clear. Those who believe in God will live forever.

Adam did not believe, he did not trust. He died as a result.

But Adam was promised a redeemer and it is clear that if Adam believes he will live.

Immortality is a choice.

Scripture implies that Adam would eat the fruit. God knew he would, it was part of his plan. Note the first three verses if Genesis. we have creation, then destruction then recreation beginning with light. These are types, corresponding to birth, death and resurrection.

God intended mankind to possess the knowledge of good and evil. The fact is that it is the only issue that must be dealt with before we enter the heavenly kingdom. We must come to see sin as God sees it. God didn't change his plan when Adam sinned.

Notice also that Adam and Eve were naked before they ate the fruit and naked after they ate it. What changed is their eyes were opened. Did Eve display her intentions when she said it is a tree to be desired to make one wise?

Matt 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

I wish I had more time today, this is a good subject.
