There was not lie involved except the result of your desire to find one. The Scriptures define themselves, and the same records that Adam lived 930 years, but that spiritual death occurs as a result of sin, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)

You can also understand “day” as a period, which it is sometimes denotes, as well as a simile, “as a thousand years.”

Nor does is matter whether that Adam understood death to be physical, God said not to do it and it was an act of mercy that they did not also die physically.

But if one is determined to find fault with Scriptures in order to justify their unbelief and rejection of an ultimate creator and judge, or authority in general, then no amount of objective analysis will suffice them.

Yes! Nice explaining. That Freeper does not want me to reply to him. So I will point out His own logic to you. I just looked up his Freeper page. He is very vague on it. Do I accuse him of lying because he does not tell the whole story? No. He did not lie. But according to his logic he is a liar which I do not agree. Convoluted. IMHO.
