In what way was the relationship broken?
[Simplicity] makes you look dumb... but I'll play along until one of us gets bored.
We went against God's command. That is "sin".

If the soul is burned in fire for time without end how is it destroyed? Mustn't there be "something" to burn for eternity?
Well, you probably don't have one.... but yes most of us do have a soul. And that part won't be destroyed. Because it is not made of dirt! It is God's spirit within us. The gift of LIFE, and a part of Him. But it also can't be reunited with Him because of our refusal to love Him, and keep His commandments. So it is separated forever....in the "eternal fire" Whatever that place be that God put's satan and his future buddies.
"Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being."
Your little game is like my 4 year old, asking "why", "why", "WHY". But never really making any sense of things in her under-developed mind. She's looking for simple answers to things that are allien to her.
And just like her... you will never know until you find it though understanding "what" it is you are looking for!
It's like a family member saying, come out and look in the lawn.... I lost something! And then proceed NOT to tell you what you are looking for! We need to know "what" we are looking for.
Quis ut Deus?
