The 'one literal day = one thousand literal years, one thousand literal years = one literal day' is only used when convenient.

Sorry I'm off track. Didn't mean it to reference Adam's death period in time. Was only referencing the time table in God in all things.
I believe Adam lived 900 years. I think he was living a lot better in the beginning and would have lived forever had he not discovered that same weakness in himself that we all had at one time. The weakness that can't resist wrong choices that are not the will of God, to us, and for us.
Spiritual rebirth is not taking upon one self a bunch of rules that are going to make us perfect in the sight of the Lord. It is becoming someone who we were not at the beginning and someone just like the one who created that nature in us.
The commandments of God were never intended to make us perfect, they were rules that would cause us to be in unity with God and everyone else on this earth. They were all for our good. But because we are not good then what was good for us became the judge over us.
