Christ is risen, page-72

"... for in the day you eat from it you will certainly die.”

Surely not a very good example since they didn't die in the day they ate of it but about 900 odd years later.
Not to mention they didn't know what good and evil meant or what to die meant so why the charade.

What kind of parent tells a newborn not to roll into the swimming pool or they will die then leaves them lying next to it.

Got to be more to that story than any literal meaning suggests.
