Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in disobedience to God's instructions, so it does make any sense for you to try to associate as being like obedience to God's instructions. There are a number of ways where Eve's desire influenced her judgement (Genesis 3:6) and our desire clouds our judgement of what is right and wrong because by ourselves we can't be sure if something is truly good or if we just think that it is good because we desire it, so eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil is about leaning on our own understanding of right and wrong by doing what is right in our own eyes rather than trusting in God with all of our heart to correctly divide between right and wrong through obeying His instructions in all of our ways and He will make our way straight (Proverbs 3:5-7).
Before Adam and Eve had eaten from either tree, they were at a crossroads between mortality and eternal life, where eating from the Tree of Knowledge caused them to become mortal while eating from the Tree of Life would have caused them to have eternal life. In Romans 10:5-8, it references Deuteronomy 30:11-20 as the word of faith that we proclaim, where the Israelites were at the same crossroads between life and a blessing for obedience to God's law or death and a curse for disobedience, so the verse that you cited undermines you claim that the law brings death instead of life.
In Deuteronomy 32:46-47, God's law is our very life. In Proverbs 3:18, it is a Tree of Life for all who take hold of it. In Proverb 6:23, for the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life. In Revelation 22:18, those who obeyed God's commandments are given the right to eat from the Tree of Life. In Luke 10:25-28, Jesus said that the way to inherit eternal life is by obeying the greatest two commandments of the Mosaic Law. In Matthew 19:17, Jesus said that the way to enter eternal life is by obeying God's commandments. In Romans 2:6-7, those who persist in doing good will be given eternal life. In Romans 6:19-23, no longer presenting ourselves as slaves to impurity, lawlessness, and sin is contrasted with now presenting ourselves as slaves to God and to righteousness leading to sanctification, and the goal of sanctification is eternal life in Christ, which is the gift of God, so getting to live in obedience to God's law is the content of His gift of eternal life.
This is not different from the Tree of Life being the Gospel of Christ because in Matthew 4:15-23, he began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, and the Mosaic Law is how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel of Christ. The Mosaic Law is God's word and it is contradictory to think that we should trust in God's word made flesh for eternal life, but not in God's word.

for you to try to associate as being like obedience to God's instructions.
i don’t think you understand what anyone else is saying because of this the same issue has always been around
“and not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that
the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: but
their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
But
even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.”
2 Corinthians 3:13-15 KJV
as long as you believe that God spoke to all nations through Moses mediation or the law ordained of angels , as Lon as you thiink that’s Gods Judgement and eternal covenant with all nations based on Abraham’s promise you are wearing a blindfold and mixing two covenants with two different functions and purposes together tbat have contrary laws for contrary purposes. trying to obey moses words and also Jesus words is a contradiction because they taught contrary things
moses law came along after man became wicked , after the floods after the dividing of the nations across the earth , after Abraham Isaac and Jacob
then a few hundred years later moses met an angel who was sent by God and who spoke on Gods behalf to deliver the children of Israel from slavery in Egypt . After he delivered them he gave them a law for the land of promise thier inheritance according to the promise made to Abram the Hebrew four hundred years beforehand
There’s a new covenant now the old one was fulfilled as a Curse because tbey broke it and Jerusalem was leveled and thier temple was destroyed because when thoer messiah came forth to restore them ,
they thier leaders and priests and scribes and teachers and elders accused him of blasphemy and had him killed on a cross
You are like the Jews in the gospel you can’t hear Jesus because you have no room in you for his words it’s filled with Moses commands your convinced that’s what God said to you and everyone else but what Jesus said is what God has said first to
israel who had a law and covenant between they and god
and then beginning with those Jews who believed him sent from Jerusalem to gentiles who nEver had any covenant with God spoken by Moses between him and the blood descendants of Abram the Hebrew.
Thier one and only mediator is Jesus thier one and only Lord is Jesus the only sacrifice for thier sins is Jesus dying in the cross , and their only justification is Jesus being raised up from the dead and ascending to the right hand of God , thier only life is the spirit of Jesus sent into thier hearts by faith through the promises of the gospel
moses covenant word isn’t the right word for Christian’s but you can’t hear that part because your convinced that an ancient law made wi to a particular flesh and blood people is for you today
But
“But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren: and they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:”
Acts 15:5-6, 10-11, 22-24
You have to find the right covenant and beer and follow that covenant word one was spoken by moses and is not of faith
one was spoken by Christ and is of faith
his words are those they seek and believe and hear and follow the things he promised not the things Moses promised those folk we as Christian’s are t going to inherit the Jerusalem in this earth but the one in heaven where the king is in his throne
