I believe you are confused here,
KSA. God Himself told Adam and Eve that if they would ever eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil
they will surely die. Did not God speak here about "death"? It's true that the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was placed by God, along with the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden, but you must have forgotten that God forbade man to eat the fruit thereof!
How can you say that "Death cannot be the nature of the tree of knowledge" wherein God Himself was telling Adam and Eve that they will
SURELY DIE the moment they eat the fruit thereof? Are we having another Word coming from you now?
