I was wondering when/if one of you were going to open your bible.
Adam was created in the Image of God making him Immortal. He was told "do not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil or on that day you will surely die!" Adam ate of the fruit and His life with God ended and He was cast out of the Garden, "Where all the days Adam lived Numbered nine hundred and thirty years: and he died."
This means Adams mortality began at the fall. The fall in a sense was his birth into the world outside of God/The Garden. From that point to his death was 930 years.
It was good you looked it up, and made a strong effort, but in the proper exegesis of scripture, one must look at the whole context of the passage, chapter or even a series of chapters to get the complete message. Not just one verse. Because anyone can twist one verse to say what ever He wills. If we are looking at Adam's death we must look to the first instance or promise of Death to Adam, and find out what happened there in relation to the Genesis 5 account.
