1. In regard to the subject of this thread, "Were Adam and Eve mortal or immortal at first?". Only God is "immortal" in the sense of being eternally without beginning or end. Even the glorified saints, although they will possess an "incorruptible body" and live forever in one sense will not be "immortal" for it is God Who sustains life, yea all things. All creation is totally dependent upon God for its very existence.

2. The death threatened upon disobedience was indeed spiritual and physical AND eternal; a tri-fold death. The eternal death is the final separation from God, i.e., damnation; the judgment of God and the casting into hell, eternal punishment/damnation.

In His grace,
