[QUOTE="theyre here, post: 184943, member: 2808"] Hello again... Actually, you [b]did[/b] attempt to relate 1,000 years of our time to be equal to [b]one day[/b] in God's frame of reference. Attempting to imply that since Adam and Eve supposedly died 900+ years later, their death was within one of God's days. At no point (Im aware of) in Genesis do we read the implication that man was immortal before they ate from The Tree of Knowledge. Its a bit facetious to interpret the line as meaning well certainly, they did eventually die. We all start dying as soon as were born. From what reference are you assuming man was not going to die [b]before[/b] they ate the fruit? Certainly, if God is the author of life he will have a very different frame of reference than us. One we cannot possible fathom. (Hmmm is God not alive since he created life?) However, one should assume that when such a being is addressing his lesser creations, he would speak to their frame of reference. Well then, if were not to take this passage as its literal meaning, are there others? Which ones? How do we know? [/QUOTE]
