What's with these last two posts of yours? I have been nothing but civil and now you're coming at me like this? What did I do to deserve this, my Brother?
He says it is God speaking through him. Then he praises God for it so that proves it.

Sin had entered into the world by one man, Adam. It took the last Adam to undo what the first Adam did. When He was sinless(I mean before He was imputed our sins, yet He never committed one sin), no one could lay a hand on Him to harm Him. After He drank of that most bitter cup, it was then, and only then, they could take hold of Him.
If the Christ would have lived to a ripe old age, would He have died? Here's the thing, we don't need to go by what if's but what actually took place. He ingested our sins, became sin, and died after He became sin.
The wages of sin is death, both physical and spiritual. That's why we are born dead in sin, and die later on. Through no effort of our own, we will die because of what Adam did.
And if they had eaten of the Tree of Life, eternal life would be through it and not the Christ. That was God's plan all along. That life eternal life would not come by eating from a Tree, but by eating from One who hung upon a tree.
If physical death is directly linked to sin, why do animals die?
If Adam needed to eat from the tree of life to live forever, why do you think he was immortal before?

I think the fall affected the whole earth. It didn't seem the animals were afraid of Adam, either. But this conjecture on my part here.
When Adam fell, it caused him, and conversely us, to not have access to the Tree of Life. Notice Adam's federal headship in the fall. When Eve ate, she gave it to Adam, and after he ate, both their eyes were opened. It caused Eve to fall as well. Through no fault of our own, we have been denied access to that Tree of Life. But praise God, through faith, we have access to the Christ via faith...the Tree of Life typified the Christ to come, that whosoever eats of Him will live forever.
I still do not see in the Bible that the physical death is directly linked to sin in a meaning that without a sin they would live forever and nothing could hurt them.
The fall would be another creation, everything would have to be rearranged in the animal kingdom, in our bodies, in our planet or even in the Universe.
I do not see this in Scriptures.

Didn't sin curse the entire creation?
What Bible verses do you have in mind?
