Featured Genesis 3:22 and mankind's sinful nature

The passage speaks of his nature (hate, deceit)deceitful. He deceived Eve, and through this deceit Adam transgressed God's law. Through this transgression death entered our world.

 

I agree the quote. The issue is not the tree or its fruit but the transgression. This doesn't mean it wasn't actually a tree, of course.

 

So there are two ways to eternal life (Christ is the Life and the fruit is the life)?

 

I understand your reasoning, but the passages you provide do not support your conclusions.

Additionally, this introduces another topic which has to be addressed.

If Adam had eaten of the tree of life and this made him immortal, like Satan, would not this imply the lost who ate never saved cease to exist rather than being cast into the Lake of Fire?

How can eternal life actually be eternal death? Are we speaking only of physical life, as our e cannot have spiritual life apart from Christ?

 

I agree. But in truth, whether Hell is annihilation or eternal torment doesn't matter to me.

 

No, it doesn't. Judgment is a future event and the lost will be cast into the Lake of Fire. This did not happen to Christ.

 

I agree on the first point, and kinda on the second.

The Tree of Life issue is relevant only in that the Two Trees are spoken of as trees and fruit (if the first is literal then so is the second).
