Shoshanna


If by what you wrote, you mean that Adam was already immortal before sin, 
but then lost his immortality, then I would like to know where you are 
finding that, because while that is claimed overwhelmingly, I cannot find 
any evidence for it.  If however you are referring to the fact that 
immortality was only available in the eating from the Tree of Life, then I 
am in agreement since this is what is clearly stated in God's Word.

Thanks,
Scott McAliley
