[QUOTE="Josephus, post: 183613, member: 411"] "At no other point in Genesis does god speak this way." Actually in Genesis, God says "Let us make man in our image." and the next verse says, in the "image of God He created them." Sounds like to me "God" at least is the "us" he is talking to - a truth evidenced by the fact that God is more than one "person", but is one single being. Jesus, after all, came in the form of... a man. :) Your next point is wrong. God was speaking about the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, not the Tree of Life. And you are right, one would assume that God was speaking of Adam's frame of reference. And you know what? He was. They began to die that day. The first evidence of this is when they realize they both are naked. Now, don't tell me they were naked before and just never realized it. No, somehow, whatever they had blinding them to their nakeness, was lost. It left. In fact, God had to make clothing for them - a skin of an animal... the first death. The first sacrifice. Tradition holds that this animal skin was that of a lamb. So in that first day, death entered. And it is still here to this day. The moment you are born, your body is in the process towards death.
