[Shoshanna Walker <rosewalk AT concentric.net>]

There is nothing redundant in the Torah.  It doesn't mean you will 
surely die.  It means that from that day on you will be subject to 
death, as Adam was at first created to me immortal.

And there is NO reference or hint or prediction of Jesus here.
