Adam's life was contingent upon his perfect obedience. If he transgressed God's law then the penalty was death. So, in this sense, yes Adam was mortal and not immortal, i.e., he was able to die.

But I would like to know:

1. What you mean by "subject to death".
2. Why the question? Sometimes this is a help in knowing how to answer. grin

In His grace,
