i do not think they would have died if they had not sinned. death entered the world through sin, and sin through one man, Adam our forefather, in whose loins we were.

what would have happened had Adam abandoned his wife, instead of joining her?

I hope I'm not mistaken.

But with your question, these are the kinds of question seeking for the truth answer.

I'm sure God will reveal it as long as we can wait for him.

he "listened to her voice"

we are the betrothed of Christ - - what do we say to Him, when we fall?

;)

"out of these stones, God is able"

but Moses was in sin to strike the Rock, and did it twice
 
i am interested in,

what should Adam have done?

even knowing that God works all things together for our good :)
 
Why put that tree there in the first place?
They didn't possess understanding as to the consequences involved. They were spiritual minded. Not carnal .
 
Where in Scripture is this stated?

I hope your question is seeking the truth answer and not to criticize it.
MARK 14:60-61
60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

spiritual minded = without understanding?

since Adam is undecieved i take that to mean, he isn't mistaken, which means, he understands.
 
Do you believe that we are to share the truths that we learn from Him with others, or keep them to ourselves?

i do believe it is better to teach to fish than to simply give a fish,
but that when it is in your hand to do good and you do not, it is sin.

its pretty hard to go fishing when you haven't eaten anything. why not share a meal while on the boat?

Yes I do believe that we are here to share the Truth and I'm not keeping it.
I learned this from Lord Jesus.
MATTHEW 5:15
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

What I'm trying to emphasize is I'm sharing the truth in God's way and not in Man's way.

It was there because God knew Satan thought he knew the consequences, but God was deceiving him.
 
Sorry, but are you really saying that if Adam and Eve hadn't eaten the forbidden fruit, they would still have died on that day? God told them them that in the day that they ate of it, they would die.

This is also a very good question to God the Father.

Let me rephrase it I hope I'm correct.
What will happen next when Adam & Eve never eat the forbidden fruit?

I will post the answer in posthuman post question.
 
As I've learned from God.
Let me repeat it once more.

Since God the Father has the foreknowledge, he knows when is the best time to reveal the answer in your question.
If it is not the best time, even I will tell the answer upfront as you keep requesting, the answer will become useless.

I can prove that in your reaction when I share what God the Father answer the question Why the Fruit is Forbidden.

As I mentioned before I still share the answer for those other readers in this thread.

Let God do it in his way and not in your way.
This is not the point. The point is that you claimed something what is simply not true.
 
why that particular fruit was forbidden, or why He put a tree of death in the garden with the tree of life?

Let us see what God the Father did before Adam & Eve ate the forbidden fruit.

In the Garden of Eden where Adam & Eve lived. God the Father planted 3 kinds of Trees.
Namely:
1. Tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food.
2. Tree of Life
3. Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil.
GENESIS 2:7-9
7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Then God the Father said to Adam; it is free to eat the fruits belongs to Trees #1 & #2 but not for Tree #3 plus what will happen when they eat the fruit in Tree #3.
GENESIS 2:16-17
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Let us analyze the 3 Trees according to God the Father description (we'll continue in the next post).
 
This is not the point. The point is that you claimed something what is simply not true.

See, I'm not answering yet but you already judge that my answer is not true.

This proves that you are not seeking for the answer according to the truth.
Lord Jesus always exposes those people who don't want to involve in the truth.
MATTHEW 22:11-14
11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
 
spiritual minded = without understanding?

since Adam is undecieved i take that to mean, he isn't mistaken, which means, he understands.
How could he understand?
He did not possess the capacity to understand consequence. Good,evil,right,wrong,
obedience,disobedience.
 
I hope your question is seeking the truth answer and not to criticize it.
MARK 14:60-61
60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
The above citation is apparently your answer to my question, "Where is this stated in Scripture?", which I asked in response to your statement:

"God gave his chosen a discernment if the person who ask question is seeking truth answer or not."

This verse does not support your assertion in any way . So, again, where in Scripture is the above (bold) stated?
 

In the prehistoric era before our world came into existence, Satan had learned the concept of physical death from his experience
observing dinosaurs. When T Rex took his prey, the angels watching learned of the concept of physical death.

So when God told Adam that he would surely die?
Satan assumed it was the only kind of death he knew.
That Adam would physically die and be no more.

Here is the irony.
When Adam remained physically alive?
(for Adam died spiritually)
Satan jumped to thinking God lied!
That Adam did not die!

And, in doing so?
Satan condemned God for doing what Satan himself is the father of!
The father of lies.

That was one way which God had been getting this enemies to judge and condemn their own actions.
And, in doing so... letting his enemies slip into proving God's judgment as being just and correct.

......
 
This is also a very good question to God the Father.

Let me rephrase it I hope I'm correct.
What will happen next when Adam & Eve never eat the forbidden fruit?

I will post the answer in posthuman post question.
No, I wasn't asking God the Father. I was asking you, because it was you, not God the Father, who posted on this forum the idea that even if Adam and Eve had not sinned, they would still have died that day. That goes against what God said to Adam:

““but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”” (Ge 2:17 NKJV)

He didn't say, "Even if you don't eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, you will still die."

We are not told directly what would have happened if Adam and Eve had not eaten the forbidden fruit, but we are told that death came into the world by sin, and it was a sin to eat the forbidden fruit:

“Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—” (Ro 5:12 NKJV)
 
“Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—” (Ro 5:12 NKJV)

Interesting point:

The Greek's meaning... All sinned in one point of time.
