FAQ: What if Adam had first eaten some fruit from the tree of life prior to
trying the forbidden fruit?
A: The tree of life doesn't work like a vaccine, rather, it's a remedy
portrayed in the Bible as a treatment for whatever ails you. (Rev 22:2)
In other words; under normal circumstances Adam had no use for the tree of
life at first because he was already immortal. Adam was created impervious
to death; an advantage he lost by tampering with the forbidden fruit when
he was instructed not to.
• Gen 2:16-17 . . And the Lord God commanded the man: You are free to
eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die.
Well; Adam didn't drop dead to the floor when he ate the forbidden fruit. In
point of fact he continued to live 800 more years beyond the birth of his son
Seth. (Gen 5:4)
So the death that Adam underwent due to tasting the forbidden fruit began
with his loss of immortality, i.e. Adam's body became infected with mortality
which, if left untreated, is 100% fatal. Mortality is a living death that
gradually broke Adam down to the point where his body could no longer
keep going.
The tree of life wouldn't prevent Adam from contracting mortality, but the
tree would've cured it and restored him to perfect health, but alas he wasn't
permitted to take advantage of it.
