[Mark17]

‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’

WHERE did this thinking come from?

I have always asked, where did that thinking come from? While I would say, it probably would have been best, not to get near the tree, God never said not to touch the tree. He said, don’t eat of it.
She may have been tricked into believing, that the evil was in the fruit, not in the moral choice to disobey God. Also, some translations say she said, “lest you die.” Another mistake. God didn’t say, “lest you die.” God said it was a 💯%, ironclad guarantee, that they would die. They immediately died spiritually, and began to die physically.
When God told Satan, the savior would crush his head, I wonder if He meant, right then and there, that his time was short, or if that will come at a later time?

——>While I would say, it probably would have been best, not to get near the tree, God never said not to touch the tree. He said, don’t eat of it.

Not exactly:

Gen 3:3But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

They immediately died spiritually, and began to die physically.

Where does it say that? Is the first death is spiritual? Why did God sacrifice an animal if Adam died already?
