I know we've discussed this elsewhere...to me the verse evidence is overwhelming that there is no poison.
awareness, Jesus died to save us from the punishment of death for our sins. Just before He died, He said "it is finished"....in other words, the debt has been paid. He paid a debt, a fine that we owed. That's what His death was for.
God raising Him from the dead shows us that God was satisfied with this sacrifice. And as to the damage of the effects from the fall not being reversed.......the response there is "not yet". Don't put short-term blinders on yourself!

Agree with the part addressed to awareness!
As to the poison, those are my words. Something got into man as evidenced by
eating the fruit. Whatever got into mankind, and his genes, caused death. (and I know we talked about this in another place, but obviously I didn't get any light that changed my thinking . . .) If not poison, what would you call that which got into mankind and caused death?
