Hi Riley, thanks for this great video on this topic!!! I think Adam and Eve were never meant to live forever, they had to eat from the tree of life. Because of their sin they were not allowed to eat anymore, so through sin came death! In the new world everyone will eat from the fruit of the tree of life again and live forever! Everyone also means "the anointed in heaven" (Rev 2:7, 22:2, 14). When I was in the org I thought that Adam would live forever if he didn't sin because God told him the day you eat you will die! So if he didn't eat he would never die!!! But that is not logical. It's like telling someone don't touch this wire. The day you touch it you will get electrocuted and die. So if he never touches this wire he will never die? Of course not! It is the Org's indoctrination that made us think so wrongly and illogically...
This is amazing I have never thought of this It makes so much sense Thank you Riley
totally agree

I guess that's one way of looking at it. But thinking logically, the entire story is just a myth anyway.
