Adam did NOT change physically after the sin.

[alanmolstad]

so its like this...

After Adam sinned, he got kicked out of the garden...

but ever ask why he got kicked out?

What was in the garden that God did not want Adam to be close to anymore?

Well, it sure was not the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, as that ship had already sailed.
And it was not any of the animals, nor any of the plants too...

Except for this one tree that does seem to be a very real concern for the lord.

I speak of the Tree Of Life!

The real reason Adam got kicked out of the garden was because that garden was where the Tree of Life was planted.

What did God say would happen if anyone ate of this tree?
The answer is that if anyone ate of the Tree Of Life they would live forever.

Had Adam eaten of this tree yet before he sinned?....no.
We know he had not eaten yet of the Tree Of Life because if he had there would be no need to kick Adam out of the garden.

If Adam had eaten of the Tree Of Life the Bible says he would live "forever".
thats how we know for 100% that Adam had not eaten yet of the tree because the Bible says if you eat you live forever and we know that was a real concern for the Lord in the story.

So Adam had not yet eaten of this tree.


But.....But some people say that "Perhaps he had eaten of the Tree Of Life and had eternal life but lost it when he sinned?"

My answer is that the words the Bible used to describe the Tree Of Life and its effect on people make that impossible.
The Bible is clear if you eat of the tree Of Life you live forever.

If you think you have eternal life and yet lose it, you never had it in the first place!....

Eternal life lasts forever, hence the words "live forever" in Genesis.



Thus the Text of the Bible proves to us that Adam had not eaten of the Tree Of Life before the sin.
And we know that to not eat means to die, as Adam did not eat and he died.

Thus the "natural" state of the human body from Adam's creation to our very day is that our bodies of flesh are born and age, and die.

The body Adam was created with was the same type we are born with...

we age...
we get sick
we die.


Thus the real reason God planted the Tree Of Life in the garden....
The tree of life was because human bodies are just like all the other flesh of this earth...the human body ages, and dies like animals age and die.

But because of the Tree Of Life, Adam(and though Adam all men) had the golden opportunity to eat of the tree and live forever.

The fact that God planted the tree of Life in the garden proves 100% that Adam was created as a mortal and subject to age , sickness and death.

The Tree Of Life was to be there to stop that.
