ArmyMatt said:most Fathers say that, because there was no decay in the Garden, and no breaking down of anything. corruption, of everything, came when man sinned. so they ate the fruit and nuts as a part of their communion with God, but there was no acidic digestion, no nutrients or anything along those lines. how this worked exactly we won't know until the Second Coming.
even modern saints like St Nektarios of Aegina and St John Maximovitch have espoused this.
and I gotta agree with jckstraw, this convo is not going anywhere
What do they base this understanding on?
