Re: was adam immortal
Yes, I do believe Adam was immortal. Having access to the "tree of life" is what made him immortal in the first place. I believe that the "tree of life" is a metaphor for God's Holy Spirit which resided in Adam before the fall, and now resides in man again because of the cross.
We know from Genesis that Adam had access to the "tree of life" because he was told he could "eat" from every tree in the garden except for the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil".
