On the day you eat dying you will die.No where in my above posts have I claimed that they died the second death the same day they ate from the tree of knowledge.
God said that part, not you. I'm looking at consistency.
Much love!

To be honest, after I read your post, I just lost interest in writing the longer version, and just included a mention to let you know. But I just lost the enthusiasm. That's my fault.Then why did you not post it? Conjecture is often the basis of our conclusions.

I don't have an issue with this. God told Adam he would die, and he died. He was separated from God. That's what the Bible describes.Keep searching for God's truth without your blinkers on. Satan wants us to believe that God did not say from the beginning of time that the second death was on the table for us if we sin against him.

This doesn't sound like something you can know, my mindset as I read the Bible.Marks, you are still holding onto what you have been previously taught and not approaching the bible with an open mind.
Basically you are saying here that I can't see your interpretation because I won't accept that a particular word is a metaphor for something else.Reading the scriptures literally is not helping you to see the actual context of the scriptures. You have to let the metaphorical language emerge for the Hebrew Texts.

What exactly suggests to you that dying the death is a metaphor for second death at the end of the age, keeping in mind that it says it would happen on the same day?
I'm in fact seeing this metaphorically also, death referring to the spirit's separation from God.

What is problematic to you about Adam dying on that day, that death being His separation from God? Is that not completely Biblical?

Yes, under our judical system, things work certain ways.Marks the day you commit a crime is the day that you will become a candidate for the gallows/prison, unless a pardon can be obtained.
That's obfuscation.You have told many people on this forum that you mainly read the bible from a literal perspective. So I guess, it is possible for people to know your mindset when you read the scriptures.
So what then is problematic to you about this?No, not really as God still sort out Adam and Eve in the Garden as He is doing even today.
Not, you will become a candidate for death. Why shouldn't we understand this the way it was said?
A better understanding is that on the day that they ate from the tree of knowledge, they became a candidate for the second death if they did not repent of this iniquity. The bible is silent on whether or not Adam and Eve repented in their subsequent conversation with God. However, Eve's acknowledgement of God's goodness can be seen in Genesis 4:1, 25, after the fall.

Actually I was just abreviating figuring that our convo has a context, and you'd know what I was saying.but rather twist what I have said to suit what you are arguing.

It appears to suit you to cast me in a different light.

Adam chose to rebel against God and our unrepentant rebellion against God only leads to the second death when we stand before the judgement seat at the end of the Age of the Ages.
