Where does it say they were immortal? They had to partake of the tree of life to continue living, and after disobeying they separated from it, Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Glenn to Blainer - This is a lie. MANY MANY MORE BELIEVE JOE SMITH TO BE A VILLAIN THAN BELIEVE HIM TO BE A SAINT. Christianity rejects him. It is called "villification." Joseph Smith was a villain to many, a saint and a prophet to many more.
