DAVEH: This topic fascinates me, as I'm very curious as to why the Protestants have such a limited (from my perspective) view of the Fall. But for me to offer my thoughts on this event would be seen as poisoning the well by some TTers.

He was created as a mortal - thus the tree of life is found in the garden. I assume they ate of that tree up until the time they sinned or there was no point to the tree being there except for the story teller to reveal that A&E were driven from the garden because of the tree and what it offered.The accounting of their temptation-to-sin reflects the very same process as exists in our lives.There is no indication within the text that their nature or essence changed.So why should I conclude that the fall included more than the record of the first sin event.Virtually everyone I know and respect thinks there is more to the fall than the sin event. Why?I get a little nervous when I realize that I am the only one who thinks a particular thing.
