Quote: On the one hand, the tree of life implies a sense of dependence. Man at that time did not possess God’s nature, but had he partaken of the fruit of the tree of life he could have secured God’s life; man could have reached his summit—possessing the very life of God.
[size=small][color=black]wait a tick.. They were allowed to eat from any tree but the tree of knowledge, the tree of life was fair game. What makes you think they haven't yet already eaten from that tree? God said the day you eat from the tree of knowledge they would die. Who's to say they didn't that day? in that their immortality die. lest the eat from that tree again..
