They had to leave for fear they might eat from the Tree of Life also and would have remain there forever and none of us would be here today if that has not happen.
Genesis 3
22 ¶And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life
What does that mean to you when the God said they have become one of US?
BTW who is US?
Their bodies were flesh and blood both before and after they sinned.
Not that they would become gods my dear like I’m guessing you believe. That would be contrary to the rest of scripture.
>>>What does that mean to you when the God said they have become one of US?<<<
It says in verse 22, “...to know good and evil.”
