Why was Adam exempt from the transgression when the transgression was disobedience?

[Esquilax]

Which should, by the logic Drich just presented, preclude god from teaching, making the new testament sinful...

But please do spin around and give us the usual "spiritual death" nonsense, Drich. I'm sure we'll all ignore that it isn't present in the text at all!

Adam and Eve before the fall were immortal. Once the ate the forbidden fruit, their imortal lives ended. They died. Perhaps in a spiritual sense as well, but their physical immortality their life up to that point ended.

Ohhh, so you mean they "died" in the sense that they "lived," then? And apparently lived for a lot longer than normal humans do today, too!

What does the term death even mean, if you're going to apply it to literally the exact opposite of what it means?

Oh, and incidentally, where in the scriptures do you get this idea, anyway? Because surely you didn't just make it up to cover for a lot hole, right?
