Adam and Eve Saved the Environment

[PeterPriesthood]

So, Adam and Eve, I am forever in your debt. You saved the environment.

I found this whole thread so fascinating. I guess because it brushes against my own beliefs very positively. God is all-knowing, so that simply means that it was his plan all along to have Adam and Eve fall from grace. They transgressed in the garden, and in so doing they learned right from wrong, which is essentially in learning what is and what isn't of God.

"Adam fell that man might be. Men are that they might have joy."
2 Nephi 2:25, The Book of Mormon

Because the Bible is about the spiritual, doesn't it make sense the death would be spiritual. Oh, I forgot you are here to make mocker and lean nothing excuse me for trying to shoe you what God meant. Carry on with your mockery, we await your wisdom.

You're confused about the death that God spoke of in regards to Adam and Eve. Spiritual Death is to die in sin, and Adam was a righteous man. He was righteous because he learned through the Fall in the Garden of Eden what was right and what was wrong. Therefore, the death God spoke of was obviously a physical one.

Adam gained the ability to die once he consumed the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Modern Prophets have learned that a day in Heaven is roughly 1000 years on Earth, so the fact that Adam died nearly 1000 years after he ate the fruit fits with God's proclamation that he would die that very day.
